Race" is a term that is still used among biologists today, but in a very different context than a century ago. Based on what you have learned so far, how would you describe the difference between a trait that is genetically inherited and a racialized trait? How does each type of trait relate to common assumptions about race outside of science? To general biological principles? Can you tell if Dr. Newland thinks that race is defined more by biology or by social context? Explain your reasoning.

All of the following statements support the hypothesis that humans cannot be classified into biological races except: A. There is more genetic diversity within a racial group than average differences between racial groups; B. Alleles that are common in one population in a racial group may be uncommon in other populations of the same race; C. Geneticists can use particular SNP alleles to identify the ancestral group(s) of any individual human; D. There are no alleles found in all members of a given racial group; E. There is genetic evidence of mixing among human populations occurring thousands of years ago until the present.
Match the key point in the history of racial classification systems with the individual responsible. There are more individuals than there are key points. You will not use all the names. Created a highly influential racial classification system based on human physical morphology. Collected and measured hundreds of human skulls and ranked the brain capacity of various "races" One of the first scientists to argue against the concept of biological/scientific races and proposed that race was a social construct Famous for his quote: "There are no races, only clines."
