The Biology of Race

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1972
We find ourselves getting increasingly entangled between two extreme positions on the subject of race: one emphasizing the determination by heredity of behavior, ability, and physical appearance, and the other stressing environmental influences, sometimes to the point of denying that races exist.

2016
Abstract This chapter reminds us that, amid the surge of interest in eugenics, were the ‘countervailing’ voices of writers such as Mona Caird, William James, and the anthropologist Franz Boas. These thinkers contested biological and racial determinism’s apparent hegemony, even while many of their contemporaries like Ibsen, Hardy, and ...

Refiguring “Race”: Epidemiology, Racialized Biology, and Biological Expressions of Race Relations

International Journal of Health Services, 2000
Given growing appreciation of how race/ethnicity is a social, not biological, construct, some epidemiologists are proposing that studies omit data on “race” and instead collect better socioeconomic data. This suggestion, however, ignores a growing body of evidence on how noneconomic as well as economic aspects of racial discrimination are embodied and

Race, Biology, and Health Care: Reassessing a Relationship

Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, 1990
Recent reports reaffirm huge disparities in the health of blacks compared to other Americans. These disparities persist in part because of the current attempt by health policy makers to frame racially based health differences in non-racial terms. Yet an historical analysis shows that since ancient times, blacks have been the victims of racism in the ...

The Biology of Race: Searching for No Overlap

Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, 2014
With the rise of molecular genetics and the cornucopia of techniques it provides, a number of biomedical researchers in both the public and private sectors have turned to the human genome to search for variations among the world’s populations, with the purpose of tracing human evolution and migration patterns and predicting genetic disorders.
