ANTH 2229 – Anthropology of “Race” (formerly ANTH 3329)

(3 credits – TG) 3 hours lecture

This discussion-based course takes a critical examination of historical and modern anthropological perspectives on the biological term "race." Historically, race in a Biological Anthropology context examines the classification of modern human physical variation. Today, this context has expanded, including the impact of genetic variation, biological determinism of race and racial definitions of ancient human ancestors.
