Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Discoveries in new genetic technology, such as DNA ancestry tests, enable individuals to explore their genetic heritage, which can reveal the diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds of their ancestors. This technology does not support the concept of "biological purity" in racial groups (A), as it often reveals a complex mix of ancestries. It also does not establish race as irrelevant to cultural differences (C) or suggest that biological history is more significant than cultural history in determining racial identity (D).
