==Other Literatures that Capture Multidimensionality== Literature on colorism or phenotype inequalities and discrimination can serve as an example. It looks at the variation of experience within categories as well as between them. Like colorism, race is very complex, hard to identify sources of racialized outcomes, and requires more than just one monolithic label (1327). Genetic admixture studies in population genetics and health research is also a good example of multidimensionality. This is done by testing geographically isolated populations and then using computer estimation to identify genetic variants that differ across populations being analysed. This type of analysis relies on existing social understandings of what these populations are to identify the genetic markers that differ most between them. ''Genetic measures of ancestry, are not objectively natural but rather are affected by other dimensions of race''. For health implications the vast majority of racial health disparities are explained by environmental rather than genetic causes (1328).
