> None of what you've said disproves the fact that it is possible to estimate race.

My 3rd sentence does exactly that.

"How can one do that when there is no formal taxonomy?"

Estimating race obviously does not require a formal taxonomy of race. Why would you think it does?
If there is no formal system of races (only stereotypes based on the whims of the stereotyper), then there is no race to estimate.

If there is no race to estimate, why do you think you can?
