Biological Science
Anthropology 1020-005 Human Origins
For this course I needed to discuss the concept of Race. Define it from a Biological and Social perspective. Give a historical overview of how the definition of race has been used and how it has changed through time. Critically evaluate the merits of a biological concept of race, ( is there one) and the ethical concerns in categorizing populations by race.

Reflection
This was an interesting topic to explore.. It was not an easy topic nor is it even still and easy topic to understand. I knew that it was a hot button issue , that there are so many different ways to look at the topic of race. I was knew that the topic of Race was misleading but it wasn't until I took this class that I realized just how misleading it was. I was able to do some really good research. that helped my understand it better. And that there are others that are trying to move away from a Race description of our human family. We are so much more that the color of our hair or eyes or even skin, and we really haven't been around long enough or isolated enough to be separated into categories of race
