In this class, we’ve learned that human variation exists. What about race? While there are social and cultural consequences of racial classifications, it is clear there is no real, biological basis for racial categories. However, many people continue to believe there is a biological distinction among people of different ancestry. This view is often promoted by overtly racist groups.

How good of a job does our culture do of countering this false information with a better, more scientifically informed perspective? Many people already have a nuanced understanding of this topic and/or strong opinions, so please make sure you are using information from our class in your post. Address the following questions (or add in a perspective of your own) in an original post of at least 250 words and a response post to another student.

Does our culture reinforce or keep alive the idea that there are biological differences among races or does it actively oppose this idea? Try to be as specific as possible.

What are the differences between cultural and biological views of race and ancestry?

Why is it impossible to use biology to consistently sort people into races?

A member of the public tells you they are very scared and upset because they heard news reports that many individuals from Ohio are currently traveling to known Zika infected areas. They tell you they know that Zika infected larvae will get into people’s luggage or clothing and when they travel back to Ohio it will cause a very deadly and contagious outbreak of Zika all over Ohio. Why isn’t anything being done about this immediately? * How would you respond to this concern (agree / disagree) and why would you take that stance? Use clear examples and back up your stance with 5 lines of evidence to support your stance.
