The term '''race''' or '''racial group''' refers to dividing the [[human]] [[species]] into groups. The most widely used human racial types are those based on visual [[Trait (biology)|traits]] (such as [[human skin color|skin color]], [[cranium|cranial]], [[face|facial features]], or [[hair|type of hair]]).<ref>Bamshad, Michael and Steve E.
