When geneticists compare these ethnic populations, they find there is more genetic diversity between populations within Africa than between Africa and the rest of the world. Ethnic groups in Western Africa are more genetically similar to ethnic groups in Western Europe than to ethnic groups in Eastern Africa. Race is a genetic mirage.
What people mean when they say "race is a construct". It's a difference we are taught to pay attention to but there's really no backing that it's a distinction that matters.
