The short answer is that "race" as a taxonomic classification predates the linkage between genotype and phenotype that even now is incompletely understood; hence there's a whole lot of intellectual garbage that is going to have to be culled from the field before it again becomes respectable.

It can be done - chemistry was eventually extracted from and divorced from alchemy, astronomy from astrology. But what to keep, and what to discard will be a decision process that will be hampered constantly by vestiges of racism and accusations of its further promotion. I wish the fellow luck.

Great comment. And, the Nazis set back genetic research a looooong time.
