PDF-(BOOK)-Race?: Debunking a Scientific Myth: Texas A&M University Anthropology Series

Race has provided the rationale and excuse for some of the worst atrocities in human history Yet according to many biologists physical anthropologists and geneticists there is no valid scientific justification for the concept of race To be more precise although there is clearly some physical basis for the variations that underlie perceptions of race clear boundaries among races remain highly elusive from a purely biological standpoint Differences among human populations that people intuitively view as racial are not only superficial but are also of astonishingly recent origin In this intriguing and highly accessible book physical anthropologist Ian Tattersall and geneticist Rob DeSalle both senior scholars from the American Museum of Natural History explain what human races actually areand are notand place them within the wider perspective of natural diversity They explain that the relative isolation of local populations of the newly evolved human species during the last Ice Agewhen Homo sapiens was spreading across the world from an African point of originhas now begun to reverse itself as differentiated human populations come back into contact and interbreed Indeed the authors suggest that all of the variety seen outside of Africa seems to have both accumulated and started reintegrating within only the last 50000 or 60000 yearsthe blink of an eye from an evolutionary perspective The overarching message of RACE DEBUNKING A SCIENTIFIC MYTH is that scientifically speaking there is nothing special about racial variation within the human species These distinctions result from the working of entirely mundane evolutionary processes such as those encountered in other organismsRUNNING TIME 11hrs and 55mins2011 Ian Tattersall and Rob DeSalle P2017 Redwood Audiobooks.

It applies diverse theoretical approaches to race, ethnicity and identity to historical and contemporary ethnographic contexts. As well as examining the way in which racial and ethnic identities have been constructed across time and space, the course interrogates these constructions with specific reference to: the development of anthropology; slavery and colonialism; scientific racism; postcolonial political regimes; postcolonial feminism; conflict and genocide; identity-based mass violence; .

Paleoindians first arrived in Texas more than eleven thousand years ago, although relatively few sites of such early peoples have been discovered. Texas has a substantial post-Paleoindian record, however, and there are more than fifty thousand prehistoric archaeological sites identified across the state. This comprehensive volume explores in detail the varied experience of native peoples who lived on this land in prehistoric times. Chapters on each of the regions offer cutting-edge research, the culmination of years of work by dozens of the most knowledgeable experts.Based on the archaeological record, the discussion of the earliest inhabitants includes a reclassification of all known Paleoindian projectile point types and establishes a chronology for the various occupations. The archaeological data from across the state of Texas also allow authors to trace technological changes over time, the development of intensive fishing and shellfish collecting, funerary customs and the belief systems they represented, long-term changes in settlement mobility and character, landscape use, and the eventual development of agricultural societies. The studies bring the prehistory of Texas Indians all the way up through the Late Prehistoric period (ca. a.d. 700–1600).The extensively illustrated chapters are broadly cultural-historical in nature but stay strongly focused on important current research problems. Taken together, they present careful and exhaustive considerations of the full archaeological (and paleoenvironmental) record of Texas.   Week 9:. By Mackenzie and Emily. Michael Banton, .
