“…Socio-economic factors have attracted considerable attention and have hindered elucidation of the race factor, in that apparent racial differences in birth weight have been attributed to some concomitant social variable (e.g. Crump, Horton, Matsuoka, & Ryan, 1957;Salber & Bradshaw, 1951). Naylor & Myrianthopoulos (1967) observed some effect on birth weight according to whether birth was urban or rural, the occupation of husband, family income, degree of education of mother, religion, and several other factors.…”

Much of our understanding of the biological differences between races has come with the development of human genetics. Surveys have established the frequencies of genetic characters known to be under the control of single genes and independent of environmental modification; comparisons of these frequencies in different populations have led to the resolution of many of the earlier outstanding problems of affinities between races and, with the support of experimental and associated investigations, to the identification and measurement of the processes that have given rise to race formation. With this information we can begin to appreciate the extent to which apparent differences are due to racial heritage and to environmental influences.
