Resumen
Son examinados los intentos pasados y presentes de clasificar y caracterizar a la variabilidad biológica humana, clasificar y caracterizar a la variabilidad biológica humana, considerando el concepto de raza, los problemas de identi- ficación étnica, el matrimonio selectivo basado en la etni- cidad, y la historia genética. En relación con la última, se hace una revisión de los métodos disponibles actualmente para la cuantificación de la mezcla y de los estudios pre- vios enfocados en la caracterización de la contribuciones parentales de origen continental a las poblaciones atinoamericanas, con énfasis en las evaluaciones globales de los acervos genéticos de de Brasil y Costa Rica. Final- mente, se considera el tema del racismo y la discrimina- ción, incluyendo la relación entre los derechos humanos y las acciones afirmativas. El derecho a iguales oportunida- des debe ser estrictamente respetado. La inequidad bioló- gica no tiene nada que ver con el principio ético de que la posición de cualquiera en una sociedad dada debe ser un re- flejo exacto de sus habilidades individuales.
