Nah, it's a question I like to ask people, not dictionaries/encyclopedias. (beat.) Send a noteboard - 19/06/2010 03:28:00 PM
Conceptions of race, as well as specific ways of grouping races, vary by culture and over time, effectively functioning as folk taxonomies.


Because of that. [edit] Oh wait, I guess what they meant was conceptions of different races? That's not what I meant to say; I meant that what "race" means changes. I do get very different answers from different people, anyway.


But I guess your answer is "salient visual traits such as skin color, cranial or facial features and hair texture"?
