Partly correct. Of course, the SA article does point out that choosing a different set of markers gives a different breakdown. Still, there isn't a single set of markers listed that do not occur in all races. This isn't much of a problem as race is a social construct and is only correlated (rather than caused by) genetic markers.

Er, please excuse the interruption, but when you said:

I was immediately struck with the question, how do you know the difference between that which is correlated and that which is caused by?
