Hi fellows. I was reading a text , and i faced this sentence."In a very real sense , race is a distinction created by culture not biology"
I dont understand the meaning of the phrase " in a very real sense"

But here, does it mean sth like definitely or absolutely? Or predominantly
Thank you for reading this??
