Attitudes of Serbian Biological Anthropologists Toward the Concept of Race
The status of the concept of race in modern biological anthropology is not clear. While in some countries (e.g. in the USA, Australia and most of Western Europe) the majority of biological anthropologists favour the nonracial approach to the study of human variation, in others (e.g., China and most of Eastern Europe), racial approach, both populational and typological, is still utilized. In addition to the fact that human variation is a complex s…

Attitudes of Australian Chiropractic Students towards Anatomy and Chemistry
Education of chiropractic students has traditionally been based on a good grounding in basic sciences. However, the place and significance of these disciplines in chiropractic education, as well as student, staff and clinician attitudes towards them have been rarely investigated. In this study, the attitudes of Macquarie University chiropractic students towards anatomy and chemistry were examined, using a modified version of the questionnaire pre…
Darwinian medicine and “race”
The relevance of the modern evolutionary theory for medical practice and research has been generally acknowledged. It is, however, still debated whether there is enough benefit to be gained from the evolutionary theory to justify its inclusion in the ever expanding medical curriculum. It is argued in this paper that in addition to the numerous benefits already explicated in other works, the inclusion of the evolutionary theory into the medical ed…
A Chiropractors’ Perception of the Role of Biological Race in Response to Treatment
In this paper we present a pilot survey focusing on the chiropractors’ views on possible racial differences in their patients’ response to treatment. A questionnaire was developed and validated through this study. Results of this - pilot survey - show that the majority of respondents did not see biological race as a significant factor in chiropractic treatment and response to it. Thus, one may hypothesise that the race concept in chiropractic mig…
A Chiropractors’ Perception of the Role of Biological Race in Response to Treatment
To review the impact on the health of women of legally induced abortion, this paper draws on the published abortion statistics of Great Britain and the Scandinavian countries to examine the consistency of the demographic pattern of legally induced abortion with the known epidemiology of medical conditions that are abortion related.The age distribution of women having abortions is modelled.The social gradient of abortion is considered.Trends in Pa…
Human Biological Variation in Anatomy Textbooks
Humans vary biologically at different levels: individually, according to sex, age and ancestry. The first three levels are usually competently accounted for in medical curriculum, but this does not seem to be the case with the fourth one. This study focuses on human biological variation due to differences in ancestry and the way it is dealt with in anatomy textbooks. It examines the treatment of human biological variation (ancestry) in current an…
Human Biological Variation in Anatomy Textbooks
Sixty at risk of coronary heart disease subjects in the age group of 40-60 years were selected from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana.The subjects were equally divided into three groups i.e.E 1, E 2 and C respectively.Flaxseed in powdered form was supplemented at the levels of 5 and 10 g to E 1 and E 2 groups respectively for a period of two months, while C group was not supplemented.The effects of flaxseed powder were studied on nutrient …

The history and composition of the Raymond A. Dart Collection of Human Skeletons at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa
The Raymond A. Dart Collection of Human Skeletons (Dart Collection) is housed in the School of Anatomical Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, and comprises one of the largest documented cadaver‐derived human skeletal assemblages in the world. This collection originated in the early 1920s as a result of the efforts of Raymond Dart and continues to grow. The skeletons included represent varied indigenous and…
Brief communication
Obtaining a bone sample for DNA analysis has traditionally been a destructive practice, which has resulted in reluctance on behalf of curators for skeletal collections to allow invasive testing. A novel minimally invasive bone sampling method for DNA analysis is presented here. This method uses a conventional hand drill wherein the bone sample is extracted from the intercondylar fossa of the femur; it does not interfere with any known anthropomet…
Current Views of European Anthropologists on Race
Significant differences in views on race (once a core anthropological concept) occur between scientists from different countries. In light of the ongoing race debate, we present the concept's current status in Europe. On three occasions in 2002–03, we surveyed European anthropologists' opinions toward the biological race concept. The participants were asked whether they agreed that there are biological races within the species Homo sapiens . A de…

The Status of the Race Concept in Contemporary Biological Anthropology
The race concept dominated the study of human biological variation for centuries. Prior to, and especially after, the Second World War, a number of anthropologists questioned the scientific value of the concept, initiating a debate over ‘the existence of human races’. Research suggests that the debate has still not been resolved, as significant differences exist among anthropologists from different countries and regions of the world. In some plac…
Teaching human variation
This paper examines the influence of education on students' attitudes to-wards the race concept. A questionnaire was distributed before and after a short teaching module on human variation. A significant shift in student position from undecided and racial towards non-racial was observed, thus confirming the importance of scientific education in shaping students' opinions
The alchemy of human variation
This paper examines the research on race determination conducted by Russian biochemist E.O. Manoiloff in the 1920s. Manoiloff claimed to have discovered a method which detected racial identity of an individual by a simple chemical reaction performed on a subject's blood sample. The method was published in one of the leading anthropological journals and it was not questioned for some time. It is obvious today that Manoiloff's claims were nothing s…

Becoming a hominid
The paper attempts to trace the first suggestions that the Australopithecus should be classified as a hominid. It would appear that the first classification of Australopithecus as a member of the family Hominidae is to be found in the works of the German anthropologist Paul Adloff and the American scientist Dudley J. Morton. Adloff.s and especially Morton.s views, although largely neglected at the time when they were first articulated, represent …
