While historically, <u>pseudoscientific </u>theories of race were preferred, modern explanations of race mostly focus on <u>cultural elements</u>.
A race is a division of people into social or physical groupings that are typically seen as separate within a particular civilization. The 1500s saw the phrase become widely used to describe a variety of social groupings, particularly those distinguished by deep familial ties.
The phrase first applied to bodily (phenotypical) characteristics in the 17th century, and then to national loyalties. According to contemporary research, race is a social construct, an identity that is determined by socially constructed standards. Race does not have a physical or biological significance that is intrinsic, while being partially based on physical similarities between groups.

The bathing traditions across the world differ from one another, and there's always a good reason behind it.
Western Europe's bathing tradition is pretty much in the sense of avoiding the bathing as much as possible. People were going for months without bathing. The reason behind that were the diseases, such as the plague, and it was well known that the less hygienic someone is, the lesser the chances of getting a disease because the body will be more resistant.
In Japan, the bathing tradition was seen as a must, as the Japanese had in their culture that they should always be clean, smell nicely, but also it was an act of purifying. So the bathing in Japan, very often with nice smelling plants, was a common thing.
In Southeast Asia, people very bathing constantly, mostly in the rivers and lakes. The reason for that was neither beauty and prestige, nor threat of diseases, but it was practical. The region is hot, the humidity high, so people were and still are bathing multiple times during the day in order to cool off.
