ANTH 4313 - Race and Human Variation

Three credit hours.

This course explores the role of genetics, evolution, and adaptation in producing modern human biological variation. It will also focus on how this variation is/was interpreted around the world in general and in modern and historic North America in particular. We will explore the fallacy of biological race and the simultaneous importance of the cultural concept of race.
