Link: RACE - A SCHOLARS' PREVIEW - HOME.
Race is a powerful concept...
... that shapes how one sees others and is seen by others, yet the public poorly understands what race is and inherent assumptions and misconceptions about race affect scientific and scholarly research. To clarify what race is and what race isn’t, the American Anthropological Association (AAA), with its sections, members and other science and humanities organizations, is developing an integrated, comprehensive and learner-focused, interactive educational program on Understanding Race and Human Variation.
Looking through two lenses, the sciences and humanities, the RACE
Project will help individuals understand the origins and manifestations
of race and racism in everyday life, and come to their own conclusion
that human variation is a part of nature and that race is not
inevitable nor a part of nature but a dynamic and sometimes harmful
cultural construct.
RACE es un proyecto de la Asociacion Americana de Antropologia que saldra al publico en el 2007 y promete aclarar muchas de las concepciones erroneas que tenemos acerca de "Raza" como un determinante biologico. Uno de los puntos a destacar en este estudio es el hecho de que con el decubrimiento de el ADN como molecula genetica y su estudio, se ha concluido que existe mas variacion entre miembros de una misma "Raza" que entre miembros de diferentes "Razas", el termino "Raza" entonces, es un constructo cultural mas que un factor biologico real.
