Miah Ayers · Answer 1

The best answer is "socially constructed"

Race is a social construct in that it is a distinction that had been invented by society. Grouping people by one's skin color or other physical features associated with race do not have a strong basis in real biology, because race does not differentiate humans beyond these superficial traits. General differences in beliefs, values, and aptitudes among races are the result of a human culture that groups people by their perceived race.
