I don’t think so at all, I just think he’s saying that races are groups that have probablistic groupings of certain genetic traits, which is an arbitrary division that is used in epidemiology and other sorts of scientific inquiry, but it’s not an objective criteria, just a useful taxonomy.

In epidemiology, for example, you define a ‘race’ by a group of genetic predispositions to various diseases.

Then it’s a not-so-bright muddying of waters since we were not talking about race in epidemiological context.
Science also can differentiate between males and females (and cases in between), but that doesn’t tell us much about gender.
