There is no concept of race that, when applied to Homo sapiens, can find its extension in a group of evolutionarily differentiable lineages. Consequently, from a phylogenetic point of view, human races are fictions. However, 'human races' may function as predicates with some degree of epistemic relevance. These 'racial predicates' would specify certain physiognomic types, of relatively well-delimited extension, and with some dispositional content, which may be significant in different discussion contexts. Particularly when it is matter of identifying groups, and individuals, that may be in conditions of vulnerability, or that may become beneficiaries of affirmative action policies.
