ANTH 1003 FALL 2023 Concepts you should be able to explain  The normative scientific process  Basic tenets of evolutionary theory  What sources (fields) did Darwin and Wallace draw on when developing the theory of evolution?  Do you understand the difference between gene, allele, genotype, and phenotype?  Examples of dominant and recessive traits discussed in class  Examples of X-linked traits discussed in class  Explain the differences between mitosis and meiosis  Chargoff’s rule  Differences between mitosis and meiosis  Differences between transcription and translation  Differences between DNA and RNA  Examples of positive, negative, and balancing selection discussedin class  Evolution of human pigmentation variation  Origins of racial taxonomies  Impact of scientific racisms  Misconceptions about racial variation  How do we think that lactase persistence evolved in humans? Why is this important?  Why is the frequency of the sickle cell allele so high in certain regions of the world?  How has the global distribution of human skin color been influenced by natural selection?  Why do most anthropologists argue that the human species cannot be divided into a distinct number of biologically defined races? What evidence do they draw on to support that argument? What does it mean when we say that race is a socially-constructed category? Why can race as a socially-constructed category still have biological consequences?
