Explain how we know that there are NO races, or biological subspecies, in modern humans. In your answer be sure to compare and contrast scientific concepts of race and socially constructed concepts of race. You must use at least 2 of the following terms in your essay Fst, cline, skin reflectance Refer to craniometric data, genetic data, or patterns of disease. And finally, give examples of why we continue to use simplistic racial categories for humanity when we know they are inaccurate.

Is “Race” a valid biological way to categorize modern humans? Why or why not? How many biological races of humans are there in the world today? Populations of people in any given world region often share more phenotypic characteristics with each other than they do with people in populations in other world regions. Explain how evolutionary forces contributed to this phenomenon.
Do you think that H. naledi and H. neanderthalensis were deliberately burying their dead? Why or why not? Be sure to discuss both Archaic Humans and to mention specific examples from the assigned reading and video. However, be sure to write in your own words – do not cite from the text/video. Be as specific as possible and defend your answer. Claims that Homo naledi buried their dead could alter our understanding of human evolution:https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2023/june/claims-homo-naledi-buried-their-dead-alterour-understanding-human-evolution.html. Could Neanderthals Use Symbolism?:https://www.pbs.org/video/what-if-neandertals-buried-their-dead-9zrsdj/
In studying recent fossils of the genus Homo, such as Cro-Magnon,biologists have determined that modern humans have not undergonemuch biological evolution in the past 50,000 years. Rather, culturalanthropologists argue that cultural evolution has been far moreimportant than biological evolution in the recent history of modernhumans. What do they mean by this? Support your argument withsome examples.
Modern humans crossed a landbridge from Asia into North America during a glacial period about 20,000 years ago and were the first hominins to occupy the region. Group of answer choices True False
In your own words, describe the technological innovations and cultural developments that characterized early human societies. How do these differ from archaic humans and early hominins, such as Australopithecines? Minimum of 3 sentences.
Are humans still evolving as species? Please think about the story of human evolution uncovered through genetic studies, and possible evidence that the evolution of our species continues. (essay type preferably 1100 words or more if possible..used as basis for academic research)
Why isn't race a meaningful concept, in terms of biology?
If phenotype is a proxy for genotype, then why do you think that paleoanthropologists erroneously designated Neandertalensis as a separate species prior to the accessibility of DNA analysis? What were they comparing them to when they were lumping or splitting fossils taxonomically and why would these reference populations provide the bias resulting in such a confounding factor in their assessments?
The culturally constructed concept of “race” holds little value in scientific biological contexts because... Group of answer choices cultural explanations of human variation do not withstand the scientific method there is more genetic variation within groups than between them of the dichotomy between biological and cultural perspectives of race there is no such thing as race race has been continuously used to oppress categorized groups
Which of these species is most likely to share the greatest percentage of DNA with your human professor? a. Australopithecus afarensis b. Homo erectus c. Australopithecus sediba d. Ardipithecus ramidus
Only when extensive genetic data became available were scientists able to definitively resolve the relationship between humans, chimpanzees and gorillas. Explain why the relationship between these three species was a particularly difficult challenge to solve. Important point. Explain why the relationship between these three species was a particularly difficult challenge to solve?? I don't really see that in your answer. I posted this question 3 times but answer given me wrong.
