DESCRIPTION:The roots of genetics\, anthropology and indeed all the biolog
 ical sciences are inextricably intertwined with the invention of racial ta
 xonomies. These were designed to serve a political ideology. We have a per
 nicious history in that regard\, but the trajectory of our history is wort
 h celebrating\, especially in the dismantling of the biological essentiali
 sm of race by contemporary genetics. Nevertheless\, the legacy of historic
 al scientific racism persists in our labs and language\, and must be confr
 onted in order to serve better representation and better science. \n\nYou
