Nope, the fact that we can track geographic "populations" means that there is a biological basis for race ... 

If race is to be defined with respect to allele frequencies in combination to the geographic population then race DOES exist!

If I didn't know any better, I'd suspect you're trolling me.

I really feel for you. I don´t know how you had the power to keep on replying...

You are right!

There could be biological human races, but there isn´t. Differences are bigger between individuals than different populations and what people consider as "races" don´t really add up if allele frequencies etc. are being look at. If the differences between human populations would become greater the new forming human races would not be "black", "white" and "asian", they would be something else that doesn´t really match with the social definition of race.

The point is that there are differences between people, but the social race definition doesn´t even match to those differences. From a biological view we humans are too similar to have spesific races (for example like ones that dogs or some other species have).
