race realism

Race realism is the viewpoint that the human species (homo sapiens) is divided into local varieties that differ genetically in their biology (the races), similar to other species. These biological differences are the result of different groups of humans being separated and evolving under different geographic circumstances for long periods of time. Among the differences observed in the statistical profiles of different race groups that race realism explains are skin color, stature, bone density, muscle mass and (most controversial of all) intellectual ability. Genetic/biological differences can be used to explain why different races show different statistical trends in abilities and social and economic outcomes. The opposite of race realism is race denialism.
