Now, the definition of race can vary, as explained in the first link. But genes do control skin tone and other appearances, and some definitions of race are based on that. Despite those definitions being rather arbitrary.

I think the fact that the definition of "race" changes and the blurred lines between "races" shows that the idea isn't scientific, but rather social.

The genetic factors are of course based in science, but "race" IMO, is a socially contrived division.
