+Racial theory examines frameworks that categorize human populations based on perceived biological or cultural traits, often asserting inherent differences. Historically, these theories have underpinned concepts like [Racial Hierarchy](/wiki/racial_hierarchy) and justified [Discrimination](/wiki/discrimination). Contemporary understanding largely views race as a social construct, rather than a biological one.
