What Should We Teach about the concept of Race
The decline of race in American physical anthropology
This paper is a review of how and why the race concept has changed in the United States during the 20th century. In the 19th century the concept of race provided the unchallenged folk taxonomy and the prevailing scientific paradigm for placing human biological and cultural variation into categories called races. At the height of the eugenic and anti-immigration movement of the early decades of the 20th century, Boas and his students began the cri…
Perishing Paradigm
Authors of three studies (Leonard Lieberman, Blaine W. Stevenson, Larry T. Reynolds, and Matt Cartmill) agree that the concept of race has approached its lowest level of acceptance in a century. However, one of the studies (that of Cartmill) seems to show no significant change from 1965 to 1996. We analyze this paradox in terms of possible differences in the populations studied.

Statistical microcomputing
With the introduction of the microcomputer, sophisticated statistical computing can now be done at a person's desk. However, since the microcomputing environment is a subset of the mainframe environment, there exist limitations to statistical microcomputing, such as precision and processing efficiency. However, the microcomputer does offer advantages for statistical computing if the statistical software for microcomputers exhibits certain charact…
Microcomputers in Anthropological Research
This article examines the potential offered by microcomputer technology to radically improve the effectiveness and productivity of team field research in anthropology. Microcomputers can offer in situ storage, retrieval, and analysis of field data and information. A microcomputer system may function as both a stand alone device and as a terminal to a mainframe, time sharing computer. Drawing from pilot projects using microcomputers, the various d…
