1:Race, Racism, Human Variation

Essay Assignment

The purpose of this paper is to further understanding of issues of race, racism, and human variation. You should be able to discuss race, racism, and human variation from an anthropological perspective, use anthropological sources, use library resources and turn in a finished product that utilizes concepts discussed in class and course readings.

Topics – pick ONE
1. Select either an isolated but relatively “homogeneous” population (Eg. Hutterites or Amish) or an island population such as Pitcairn, Tristan da Cunha, The Faroes or any other that interests you and describe the biological variation found within this population. What are the origins of the inhabitants? What sorts of diseases do they have? What is known of their genetics?
2. Select a nation that had eugenics laws on the books in the 20th century. What were the nature of these laws? When were they finally removed and what social triggers were pulled to get them removed?
3. Pick a population from any part of the globe and describe the frequency and distribution of any disease of your choice within that population. How do differences related to race, culture, or ethnicity affect the distribution of the disease? Some possibilities are Huntington’s chorea in England, Tay Sachs among Ashkenazim Jews, sickle cell anemia in African populations, Thalassemia in Mediterranean populations.
4. What is the malaria hypothesis? What is the origin of sickle cell hemoglobin in West Africa? Is HbS spreading or receding in distribution? What is the relationship between HbS and HbC?
5. Describe race relations in Los Angeles today. What is the nature of the data that has been collected? How are such data and information gathered? What sorts of statistics are utilized in the analysis of the data? Are there any problems in the data collection and analysis that you can see?
6. What is the distribution of AIDS in America by race/ethnicity? Are there social explanations that can account for differences in prevalence by race and ethnicity?
