I'm not aware of a simple, accessible guide to the history of science regarding race. The AAA Statement on "Race" seems to disagree with me, claiming that the concept of "race" was based on bad philosophy and political motivations instead of bad science.
I disagree with him on the proper stance to take on the word "race", but I doubt our disagreement goes any deeper than that. At the end of the day, my feeling on the matter probably does have more to do with politics than linguistics.
