High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Social interpretations of race regard the common Western categorizations of people into different races, often with biologist tagging of particular racial attributes beyond mere anatomy, as more socially and culturally determined than based upon biology. Such interpretations are often deconstructionist and poststructuralist in that they critically analyze the historical construction and development of racial categories.Even as the idea of race was becoming a powerful organizing principle in many societies, the shortcomings of the concept were apparent. In the Old World, the gradual transition in appearances from one group to adjacent groups emphasized that one variety of mankind does so sensibly pass into the other, that you cannot mark out the limits between them, as Blumenbach observed in his writings on human variation.
