Subject: Re: Physical Appearance From: Lynn S Teague Date: August 01, 1999 What are commonly recognized as races are not mutually exclusive categories from the biological point of view. Scientifically races refer to attribute distributions within populations. Any one individual, or even family, might fall at the far end of the normal distribution for the "race" with respect to a particular attribute. The answer is that you can't know from a few traits what the physical history of a family is.
