'Biological reality': What genetics has taught us about race

[Ponietz]

3. The title is absolutely misleading and infers the opposite of what science has proven and the author writes

Race is a social construct without a scientific basis. The “biological reality” is that social constructs have biological implications, for example, in life expectancy.

From the article:

When scientists unveiled the first draft of the Human Genome Project 25 years ago, it seemed to deliver the final word on some antiquated myths about race. It provided definitive evidence that racial groupings have no biological basis. In fact, there is more genetic variation within racial groups than between them. Race, it showed, is a social construct.

and later:

What we now know is that there is more genetic diversity in people of recent African descent than in the rest of the world put together. Take two people, for example from Ethiopia and Namibia, and they will be more different to each other at a genetic level than either one of them is to a white European, or indeed a Japanese person, an Inuit or an Indian. This includes the genes that are involved in pigmentation.

So, going further, the question is: how to eliminate or ameliorate this most pernicious social construct? Or should the social construct be reinforced? In my opinion classifying a person as white, black, or whatever only reinforces the social construct.
