In the U.S., many states passed laws against miscegenation, or marriage between individuals of different races. What

genetically based arguments would you use in support or opposition to such laws?


Background:Given
the very low levels of genetic variation present in the human genome and its
distribution, is there any reason to divide our species into races? At present, the vast majority
of geneticists would answer no to that question and agree that there is currently no genetic
basis for subdividing our species into racial groups
