Surely culture holds a greater influence?

I think massively, yes, but the proposition here is that biology holds at least some weight.

Are you sure we are not introducing eugenics into the question?

Plausibly yes, which would be catastrophic.
What do we do with research into this area?

With regards to ethnicity, social outcomes have to be related to social experiences, therefore, they cannot be partially biologically caused

  • Biologically speaking, the main thing that separates us from each other is our skin colour. Scientists have affirmed that human beings are one human race
  • Therefore, if our differences are only skin deep, the social outcomes cannot be partially biologically caused.
  • Other factors, notably upbringing, income and culture will have more impact on social outcomes with reference to ethnic groups specifically.

I would dispute pretty much everything you say there. Melanin levels in the skin are one thing but genetics play a role in so many other things. For instance many diseases are far more prevalent in some ethnic groups. Take sickle-cell anaemia for instance. How would that not have at least some social outworking in the real world?
