Also, there is the study of genotypes. This would be cultural and physical characteristics together. They can give us insight into how certain people with similar characteristics will behave under certain environmental conditions. A genotype might be a Norwegian propensity for blonde blue eyes and large bone structure. Under certain clinical conditions, this information might be useful. As a general concept applied to all aspects of culture including what constitutes "racism", maybe not so helpful.

I think there is a built-in tendency toward "racism", "violence" or "addiction" but as homo sapiens, we might have been biologically equipped to deal with their negative aspects.

Just an opinion. Can't verify it scientifically.
