Races of people are very large, loosely defined groups of genetically similar people. Races differ by their look and in physical, mental and cultural aspects. This topic is nowadays forbidden to be discussed and researched in "[science](soyence.md)", however there exists a number of older research and some things are just obvious.
Most generally races are called by the color of their skin, i.e. White (Caucasian), Black (African), Yellow (Asian) and Brown (Indian). But the lines can be drawn in many ways, some go as far as calling different nations separate races (e.g. the Norwegian race, Russian race etc.).
There is a controversial 1994 book called *The Bell Curve* that deals with differences between races. An online resource with a lot of information is e.g. http://www.humanbiologicaldiversity.com/.
In relation to [technology](tech.md)/[math](math.md)/[science](science.md) it is useful to know the differences in intellect between different races, though cultural and other traits linked to races may also play a big role. It is important to keep in mind intelligence isn't one dimensional, it's one of the most complex and complicated concepts we can be dealing with (remember the famous Chimp test that revealed that chimpanzees greatly outperform humans at certain intellectual tasks). We can't simplify to a single measure such as [IQ](iq.md). Let intelligence here mean simply the ability to perform well in the area of our art. And of course, there are smart and stupid people in any race, the general statements we make are just about statistics and probabilities.
