I got invited multiple time to various meeting with other scientists, all fascinated with eh subject of ethnicity. It is indeed a quite controversial topic, as the scientific community still disagree on certain points, but all recognize that humans cannot be divided into biologically distinct subcategories, which challenges the traditional concept of biologically separate and distinct races. Nevertheless, it seems that analyzing diverse genome marker is likely to define a population group, to a certain extent. | I got invited multiple time to various meeting with other scientists, all fascinated with eh subject of ethnicity.
