Examples

“But socially, raciation is one of the most debated and important issues of modern times.”
“European experiences and concerns that there was a serious failure to appreciate the extent to which inequalities conditioned by biologically informed geographical raciations differed from inequalities that could be appropriately understood through the concepts of an ethnicity localized to groups of various lines of European descent.”
“At the outset it should, perhaps, be made clear that I believe, with most biologists, that evolutionary factors, similar to those that have been operative in producing raciation in other animal species, have also been operative in the human species -- but with a significant added difference, namely, the consequences which have resulted from man's entry into that unique zone of adaptation in which he excels beyone all other creatures, namely culture, that is to say, the man-made part of the environment.”
