One result of debates over the meaning and validity of the concept of <answer>race</answer> is that the current literature across different disciplines regarding human variation lacks consensus, though within some fields, such as some branches of anthropology, there is strong consensus. Some studies use the word <answer>race</answer> in its early essentialist taxonomic sense. Many others still use the term <answer>race</answer>, but use it to mean a population, clade, or haplogroup. Others eschew the concept of <answer>race</answer> altogether, and use the concept of population as a less problematic unit of analysis.
