Modern humans have only existed for about 200,000 years [1]. We originated in Africa and didn&#x27;t migrate outside the continent until about 75,000 years ago [2], which is a relatively short timespan in evolutionary terms. In a sense, then, we are all Africans.<p>And the concept of &quot;race&quot; as a way of categorising humans is now regarded by most scientists as a social construct [3]. That is, it doesn&#x27;t tell you anything fundamental about people.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Anatomically_modern_human" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Anatomically_modern_human</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Early_human_migrations#Exodus_from_Africa" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Early_human_migrations#Exodus_...</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Race_(human_categorization)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Race_(human_categorization)</a>
