Her theory uses theory from cladistics — a systematic school founded by entomologist Willi Hennig in 1950 — to define human races genealogically as cladistic subspecies. In this paper I will argue that despite its promise as a biological definition of human races, Andreasen's CRC is unconvincing. In particular, I will show that the central problem of the CRC is its attempt to apply cladistics below the species level. In other words, there...
