  4. Members of a race can be identified by their:

    1. Blood group

    2. Skin color

    3. Genes

    4. All of the above

    5. None of the above

Answer:  None of the above. There are no traits, no characteristics, not even one gene that distinguishes all members of one so-called race from all members of another. The A, B, O blood groups can be found in all the world’s peoples (Estonians and Papua New Guineans, for example, have the same frequencies). Skin color tends to correspond with latitude not race; sub-Saharan Africans, Dravidians and Tamils from Southern Asia, and Melanesians from the Pacific all have very dark skin. Ancestry is difficult to trace. Go back 30 generations, less than 1,000 years, and you have a billion ancestors.
