Beyond race: towards a whole-genome perspective on human populations and genetic variation.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Oct 2004

Foster Morris W, Sharp Richard R

Abstract excerpt

The renewed emphasis on population-specific genetic variation, exemplified most prominently by the International HapMap Project, is complicated by a longstanding, uncritical reliance on existing population categories in genetic research. Race and other pre-existing population definitions (ethnicity, religion, language, nationality, culture and so on) tend to be contentious concepts that have polarized discussions...
