Race and Human Diversity is a comprehensive introduction to the study of human diversity, encompassing both its biological and cultural aspects. In this text, Robert L. Anemone delves into the biological foundations of human differences, exploring how humans have biologically and culturally adapted to diverse environments throughout history. The book discusses the historical development of the race concept, evolutionary theories, human genetics, and the intricate connections between racial classifications and racism. It encourages students to critically examine the biological basis of race but also recognizes it as a social construct with profound implications for individuals' and populations' lived experiences.
This second edition of Race and Human Diversity has undergone a thorough revision, incorporating new material on human genetic diversity, developmental plasticity, and epigenetics. It also provides expanded coverage of topics such as the history of eugenics, race in US history, citizenship and migration, affirmative action, and white privilege and the burden of race. The book is designed to be accessible to undergraduate students with no prior knowledge of genetics or statistics, making it an essential text for courses on race or human diversity.
