I ran across this statement on biological aspects of race by the AAPA (American Association of Physical Anthropologists) the other day, and I found it so reasonable, commonsensical, and counter to the general drift of things today. The statements eleven points are offered "as revisions of the 1964 UNESCO statement on race." I know it's not political correct, in the old sense of the term, to suggest that concepts like race, gender, and class are social constructs, but they are. Perhaps I'm just a bit old fashioned.
