You would need to watch a 57 minute documentary (I will send the link) and answer 3 questions given by my professor in a 2 page (double spaced) essay response.
- According to the documentary, "Race the Power of an Illusion", scientists are part of their social context. How was scientific data informed by the society in which these scientists lived in?
- Who was Fredrick Hoffman and what is the "extinction thesis"? How did the extinction thesis impact societal beliefs and social laws?
- Where you surprised by the high school students' DNA results? Why or why not? If "blood" is not the better indicator of human variation then what is according to the documentary? What explains human variation?
