From my imperfect and limited scholarly perspective, this question just cannot be answered in a simple yes or no fashion. Biologically speaking and from a scientific scope of reasoning, this seems to be an open and shut case, which is not. Take birds, for example; one of the reasons why there is a wide range of different types of birds is because of the overall climate in which they occupy. Since the overall construct of birds is nearly identical, we would never refer to any particular species of bird by “race.” We would simply refer to them by their scientifically given names in their respective habitat. Likewise, humans are similar; although the overall living conditions are different depending on the specific areas we populate, the biological construct of the human species is the same; hence it rejects the idea that the concept of race exists. Culturally speaking, though, the concept of race is a very prevalent idea simply because of the different cultural norms we, humans, most commonly associated with ethnic identity. In addition, the language barrier among us also creates a necessary racial divide that distinctively separates us from each other.
