The Myth of Race

I watched the video "The Myth of Race: Debunked", and had to rewatch it because I wanted to make sure I had heard/read correctly. To hear that there were no scientific indicators of race in DNA is astonishing. Why is this not more widely known? How does this impact our societal need to categorize ourselves and others, specifically to feel a sense of belonging? I think if this mindset were more prevalent in society, and for a prolonged period of time, we might be more prone to see people as individuals first, and then what groups they identify with after.
