ANTH 416 - Race, Racism, and Human Variation in Global Perspective

FC SSCI CD

4 credits
The belief that the inborn characteristics of groups of people are responsible for differences in achievement, among other things, between them is present in one form or another in every society. In this seminar we will use a four-fields approach (biological and cultural) to examine both the underlying patterns of human biological variation as well as the varied manifestations of race and racism today. Case studies will be drawn from across the globe.
