Read this paragraph adapted from a chapter on race and ethnicity in a sociology textbook.

Which of the options signal the authors' negative view of European systems of racial classification? Select all that apply.

The term race took on its popular contemporary connotations in the eighteenth century, when European scientists began systematically to name and classify the plants and animals of the natural world. When they turned their attention to humanity, however, Europeans' false, misguided assumptions of their own superiority reduced their efforts to a fake "science" (Smedley 2007).
