    Abstract

    Numerous controversies and misunderstandings surround the study of human biological variation. It is agued in this paper that terminological clarification could result in a better understanding of several important issues within this field of research. Following on the work of George Fredrickson, the terms "racialism" and "racism" are defined and a new phrase - "racial hierarchism" - is introduced and defined.
