Antrhopology Stuff

[karenmeal 0]

For my anthropology class I have to do a survey of people. I've got a lot of folks from the DZ but need about 15 more people to answer a few simple questions.

The questions are: Gender, Age, your race, how many races you think that there are and to name all (or just a few) of those races.

Make sense?

Thankyou for helping me out everyone! If you want to just reply with a total BS response that is fine too. Just need to fill in some blanks.

Have a good beer evening.

Isn't anyone bored enough to help a fellow skydiver out? Pretty Please, there is not a right or a wrong answer its just a kinda statistical thing. Or you can pm me your response if you wish.

Shouldn't you be studying for finals, young lady? Okay, I'll bite. Just one, and human. I'm 34. And human. (mostly)

I am male, I am 40 years old. I am a human. There is one human race surviving today, although there were more back 50,000 to 100,000 years ago.

Gender -- female
Age -- 50
Race -- well, this is anthropology, not sociology, so you'd have to define race to me first.

Sociology, you'd be looking at how we define race, but my memory is that anthro is closer to the study of the physical. We're not being very helpful, are we?

First, there is no right or wrong answer. As you have probably noticed over the years, this is something that nobody can agree on! Surveys and things like the census are constantly changing the racial categories to disclude some groups and include others.
So the question is, how in your own little world, do you personally define race? Is it skin color, eye shape, hair texture, country of origin, religion.. ? This is just to see what your gut feeling of what constitutes a race is. Even looking in webster's dictionary you won't recieve a concrete definition of what constitutes a race. In my dictionary, included in the definition of race is a brief description of the many different and sometimes contrasting ways that the term race is used.

Anyways.. thanks again everyone for helping me out!
