@ Go online to the American Association of Physical Anthropology website (http://www.physanth.org) and choose the “Position statements” link. Briefly outline the main points of their position on the biological aspects of race.
@ Go online and search for “clinal
variation.” How many examples of the clinal
distribution of genotypes and/or phenotypes can you find?
