UNM Anthropologists Heather Edgar and Keith Huntley talk with Karen Wentworth about their articles in the new issue of the American Journal of Physical Anthropology. This is a special issue about race and how anthropologists regard race from a scientific viewpoint.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the central goal of American physical anthropology was to use biological characteristics to classify humans into races. Over the next several decades, anthropological research was used to provide a “scientific” justification for racist public policies, resulting in Jim Crow laws, eugenics and genocide. Today some anthropologists question whether race is an accurate way to discuss human variation.
