Document Summary
: race first began in us in around 1619 when the first ship of african slaves were brought by pilgrims that came on the mayflower( a ship that brought english called pilgrims to us). Even is a huge problem for the us today. :there is no agreed upon definition of the term race. Some argue that it is a biological, while others say it is cultural, and some argue that it is the combination of both; bicultural. The author of this books says that it is cultural or social concept not biological. : many anthropologist believe that biological race is nothing but a folk concept(an human imagination that arose when europeons searched the world and discovered new humans. Began when people move aorudn the the world and saw diff human diversity and became an an idea about the geographic patterning of human biological variations. Cultural differences (religion,language, nationality) has no role in biological race.
