or “hard” sciences such as biology? What does
ALMIGHTY GOD say about race? We will carefully
examine the BIBLICAL definition of race in Chapter 2. For
now, let us delve into the biological definition.
– Biological Definition of Race
-The Biological definition of race is “a geographically
isolated breeding population that shares certain
characteristics in higher frequencies than other
populations of that species, but has not become
reproductively isolated from other populations of the
same species. A population is a group of organisms that
inhabit the same region and interbreed. Human groups
compose a number of breeding units that, in the past,
remained geographically and perhaps temporally
isolated; yet could interbreed and produce viable
offspring within the species Homo sapiens. The point
here is that a biological race has the ability to produce
viable offspring regardless of skin color, height, hair
type, ethnicity, geographical region, or any other
defining features.
More recently, molecular science techniques have
advanced to developed methods to examine genetic
differences between individuals and populations. Using
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and other genetic indicators
