Race is undeniably felt on a social level, but biologically the concept doesn't hold up. This discrepancy is illustrated in a new exhibit at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, "RACE: Are We So Different?" A traveling project of the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota, the exhibit explores race from personal, scientific and historical perspectives. Lead curator Yolanda Moses, an anthropologist and the vice provost at the University of California, Riverside, talked to The Root about just how laughably illusory and profoundly nonexistent race is.
