    • 2012 March-April, Jan Sapp, “Race Finished”, in American Scientist‎, volume 100, number 2, United States: Sigma Xi, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 164:
      Few concepts are as emotionally charged as that of race. The word conjures up a mixture of associations—culture, ethnicity, genetics, subjugation, exclusion and persecution. But is the tragic history of efforts to define groups of people by race really a matter of the misuse of science, the abuse of a valid biological concept?
