六级So what other variables could be used if the racial concept is thrown out? Yudell said scientists need to get more specific with their language, perhaps using terms like ancestry or population that might more precisely reflect the relationship between humans and their genes, on both the individual and population level.

那么，如果种族概念被抛弃，还有什么其他变量可以使用呢？尤德尔说，科学家需要更具体地使用他们的语言，也许可以使用诸如祖先或人口之类的术语，以便在个人和人口层面上更准确地反映人类与其基因之间的关系。
