Before watching the film I did not think biology had anything to do with racism. I believe scientist tried to prove that race was biological in order to justify the actions against the non-white race. I had never really thought about where race had come from but was surprised‚ but not hard to believe‚ to hear in the film that race was created by humans to describe social and cultural differences.

In biology and ecology‚ extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon)‚ normally a species.

Because a species’ potential range may be very large‚ determining this moment is difficult‚ and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa‚ where a species
