“These data suggest that the interplay between race and ethnicity as social constructs and genetic ancestry as a biological construct is more complex than we had realized,
Putting forth these notions makes study and understanding of genetics far more convoluted and difficult than it needs to be.
Race is ancestry, ancestry is race, plain and simple.
Race is ancestry, ancestry is relatedness. Ancestry is the factor of relatedness, relatedness is the factor of race. For example an Englishman has a relatedness factor to a Dane that is hundreds of times greater than than the relatedness factor the Englishman has to a Nigerian. An Englishman and a Dane are of the European race, a Nigerian is of the (sub-Saharan) African race.
You'd think this would be the simplest thing in the world to understand, but something about the modern world has caused otherwise for some people.
Races are simply large extended families that came about due to imposing natural barriers in the ancient world, deserts, oceans, mountain ranges.
"Social constructs" are claptrap that came about from nihilist "post-modernists," and "critical theory" lunatics and agitators seeking to attack and disrupt western society.
