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."

"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.

Scientists have found that the human species: Can be divided into distinct racial types. Has less variation between populations from different geographic regions than those of other species (e.g., chimps) Contains races, some of which have been proven to be superior to others. Is made up of three separate types, Indian, European, African. Shows a high degree of genetic difference between races.

Why do anthropologists typically reject the concept of 'race as useful for discussing human variation? Select one: a. Because humans do not vary in ways that are linked to geography but only in cultural ways. b. The word 'race' is politicized, so it's politically correct to avoid it in academic settings. c. Because 'race' is an insulting way to talk about the differences between ethnic groups. d. Because anthropologists do not recognize human biological variation. e. Race implies that groups of humans are geographically and genetically isolated when, in fact, human gene flow is too great.
