Finally, a complete [good] Populations Genetics class/lecture on UA-cam. Many thanks Dr. Jorde's voice makes me think of Frank Zappa, and that is a compliment. Thanks again.
The question "how useful is the concept of race" is not something population geneticists necessarily have any better knowledge of than anyone else, until genetic knowledge reaches the level seen on Star Trek.
Actually, the more complex a trait, the better a predictor your racial category will be, all else being equal. The video poster is going back and forth. Humans cluster typologically at the whole-genome. The tremendous overlap is at the individual loci level.
"Self-identified race can be misleading (gives anecdote)" That's fine, but it usually isn't: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1196372/ - 99.86% correspondence between self-identified race and best-fit cluster based on 326 loci when K was preselected to match the number of folk races.

+Fringe Elements Thanks for the link.
