From an anthropological viewpoint there exists only one human/humanoid race currently habitating earth, homo sapiens sapiens, "the human race" (since the neanderthals -homo sapiens neanderthalis - died out anyway). Race has everything to do with bone structure. Often bone structure is key in distinquishing the race, species, etc. of various hominid remains. Often the term race is mistakenly used in place of ethnicity. Whether bone structure is determined by ones ethnicity is an entirely different question. Yes ethnic groups do generally share many superficial/physical characteristics (thats what makes them "groupable") such as similar bone structure, skin tone....

Race can have some influence on bone structure, as different populations have developed specific genetic traits over time that can affect skeletal features like bone size, shape, and density. However, individual variations within races often make it challenging to accurately predict someone's race based solely on their bone structure.

Is race a subspecies within Homo sapiens?
No, race is not a subspecies within Homo sapiens. Race is a social construct based on physical characteristics such as skin color and hair texture, whereas subspecies are distinct evolutionary groups within a species that have unique characteristics and can potentially interbreed. In the case of humans, there is only one subspecies recognized: Homo sapiens sapiens.

No, fingerprints do not provide information about a person's race. Fingerprints are unique to each individual and are not influenced by factors such as race, ethnicity, or skin color.
Why is the muscle structure of African-Americans different from other races?
There is no significant biological difference in muscle structure between African-Americans and other racial groups. Variations in muscle size, strength, and composition are more closely linked to individual genetics, lifestyle factors, and training habits rather than race. Any observed differences are likely due to these individual factors rather than broad racial categorizations.

Is there a difference in demand for black plastic surgeons?
The race of the plastic surgeon should not be a factor, as it is the same kind of surgery that he performs as what a white or surgeon does. However, the race of the patient matters because ethnicity is a factor in bone structure. Applying a "European" surgery to a black bone structure, for example, may result in inconsistent results not harmonious with the rest of the facial features.
