This isn't a social science article, but a biomedical one.  If you did any real research, you'd see that the vast majority of anything you'd find would support the statement that race is not a biological reality.  

Here's an important question to ask yourself:  How do you define race?  What are the criteria for what is "black" or "white" or any other "race" you can think of?  Do all members of said "race" express the traits you defined?  Do other "races" NOT share these traits?  If you really understood what science is, you'd quickly come to an answer on that with all the data available. 

The term "race" has no formal definition however, going by consensus in the field of biology it is generally regarded as either genetically distinct populations within a species in combination with geographical or physiological isolation. Going by that definition there is indeed a biological basis for human races and there not need be a hard and fixed criteria to distinguish "races" too as evolution is a continual process. "Black", "white" or whatever races we can easily identify the individual based on the matrix of genetic markers according to the pattern of a specific species sub-group population genetics ... (classifications need not be discrete either, it can be defined on a continuum like races too so yes they can share traits and like I said before, "races need not have a fixed criteria")

Also the paper fails to take into account Lewontin's fallacy and yes I understand what science is but you won't like the conclusion and it's that race is about as much of a "social construct" as gravity or any other physical phenomena is. If race is established on clinical grounds then there definitely exists a physiological basis for different human races in the physical reality ... 

The "specifications" for human races is "loose" so to speak ...
