FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGY AND THE CONCEPT OF
RACE: IF RACES DON’T EXIST, WHY ARE FORENSIC
ANTHROPOLOGISTS SO GOOD AT IDENTIFYING THEM?
NORMAN J. SAUER
Department of Anthropology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, U.S.A.
Abstract-Most anthropologists have abandoned the concept of race as a research tool and as a valid
representation of human biological diversity. Yet, race identification continues to be one of the central
foci of forensic anthropological casework and research. It is maintained in this paper that the successful
assignment of race to a skeletal specimen is not a vindication of the race concept, but rather a prediction
that an individual, while alive was assigned to a particular socially constructed ‘racial’ category. A
specimen may display features that point to African ancestry. In this country that person is likely to have
been labeled Black regardless of whether or not such a race actually exists in nature.
Key words-forensic anthropology, race, race identification, human variation
Several years ago, I was approached by the Michigan
State Police for assistance with the identification of a
set of decomposed human remains. The specimen,
obviously human, was discovered in a wooded area
by hunters, reported to police and transported to a
morgue at a local hospital. After a standard anthro-
pological evaluation of the material I concluded that
the remains represented a Black female, who was
18-23 years old at death and between 5’2” and 5’6”.
The condition of the remains suggested that depo-
sition occurred between 6 weeks and 6 months before
discovery. That information was reported to the
Investigative Resources Division of the State Police
who matched it against Missing person records. In a
few weeks time the remains were positively identified
as representing a Black female, who was 5’3” tall and
19 years of age when she disappeared about 3 months
earlier.
For many anthropologists there currently exists
a dilemma. While most have rejected the traditional
Western notion of race, as bounded, identifiable
biological groups and have renounced its use as
harmful, the race concept as it is understood by
the public continues to be one of the central
foci of forensic anthropological research and
application. Does the fact that forensic anthropolo-
gists are able to correctly guess the race of a subject
from skeletal remains in any way validate the
concept?
THE NON-EXISTENCE OF RACES
In the 1960s C. Loting Brace and Frank Living-
stone presented arguments for the nonexistence of
human races [l, 21. Extending a debate that began a
decade earlier in zoology [I, 31, they argued that the
discordance of traits made defining races on the basis
of more than one or two characters impossible. Since
no human biologist would support such limited
criteria for d.
This material helps a reader understand meaning of theory in social science, precursors for the development of theory in social science fields like anthropology. Moreover, social science students learn a lot from this material. Thus read and take a lessons?!
No one has influenced the entire world with "scientific" support for atheism, eugenics, racism and white supremacy more than Charles Darwin! It's time to dethrone him in science and in education.
Besides, his main ideas on evolution have been proven false: Absolutely no fossils to support gradual evolution between kinds of animals and molecular biology and DNA code science conclusively prove that random chance mutations could never have produced the massive complexity of life we now know exists even in one cell. Please challenge his ideas in your scientific and educational commmuities.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.

eugenics and statistics
1. eugenics & statistics [in quotes]
Christian P. Robert
U. Paris Dauphine PSL & Warwick U. & CREST
ENSAE
[Mostly based on Kevles’ In the Name of Eugenics
(1984) and with further cut&paste from Wikipedia]
2. Dedicated to the memory of Gertrude Mac´e (? – 1988),
sterilized by the Nazis for having a baby with a French
prisonner of war, with whom they were eventually re-
united after the war.
3. Origins

natural (?) consequence of Darwin’s theory of
evolution
high of European imperialism and
nationalisms

fin de si`ecle pessimism on society’s decline
State socialism ideals / fear of proletarian
socialism
4. Darwin on races
“The various races, when carefully compared and mea-
sured, differ much from each other — as in the texture
of hair, the relative proportions of all parts of the body,
the capacity of the lungs, the form and capacity of the
skull, and even the convolutions of the brain (...) The
races differ also in constitution, in acclimatization and
in liability to certain diseases. Their mental charac-
teristics are likewise very distinct; chiefly as it would
appear in their emotion, but partly in their intellectual
faculties.” (C. Darwin, The Descent of Man, Chapter
VII).
5. Darwin on races
“It is surprising how soon a want of
care, or care wrongly directed, leads
to the degeneration of a domestic
race; but excepting in the case of
man himself, hardly any one is so
ignorant as to allow his worst an-
imals to breed.” (C. Darwin, ibid.,
Volume 1, page 168).
6. Fashionable eugenism
“British eugenics was marked by an hostility decidedly
more of class than race.” D. Kevles, ibid.
Support of most members of UK and US intellectual elite and
establishment like
F.D. Roosevelt and W. Churchill (vice-president of the first
International Eugenics Conference)
B. Shaw: “some of us are driven to prescribe the lethal
chamber as the solution”
J.M. Keynes (director of the British Eugenics Society from
1937 to 1944)
W. Beveridge, W.E.B. Du Bois, F. Nightingale, A. Huxley,
V. Woolf, T.S. Eliot, and D.H. Lawrence
7. Fashionable eugenism
and much fewer opponents
H.G. Wells moved from eugenism (1901) to anti-eugenism:
“Mankind from the point of view of a biologist is an animal
species in a state of arrested differentiation and possible
admixture.” (1921)
G.K. Chesterton: “the essence of Nazi Nationalism is to
preserve the purity of a race in a continent where all races
are impure”
Catholic authorities quickly rejected eugenism for many
reasons (from South Mediterranean and mostly catholic
immigrants being considered as “inferior” in the US, to
doctrinal opposition to birth control, incl. sterilisation, to
scientific against divine intervention, and to the theory of
evolution)
8. Positive consequences of eugenics
birth control development and legalisation
sexual education and child welfare
reproductive rights, incl. abortion
pre-natal and pre-nuptial health examinations
prevention of heritable diseases
artificial procreation
human genetics
9. Human genetic variations [D. Church, Nature 28
May 2020]
“What do the differences between each per-
son’s genetic code mean for their individ-
ual development and health? Several fac-
tors have hampered researchers’ ability to
answer this question.”
“First, understanding genetic variation requires
analysing huge numbers of sequences, because we carry
many rare variants. Most of these have no effect, with
just a few causing genetic diseases.”
10. Human genetic variations [D. Church, Nature 28
May 2020]
“Second, most of our understanding of ge-
netic variation has come from studying
single nucleotide variants, but structural
variants can have a larger impact on phys-
iological traits, and are major contributors
to disease.”
“Third, we lack an understanding of variation outside
protein-coding sequences.”
11. Annals of Eugenics
created by K. Pearson in 1925 for the
study of “agencies under social control
that may improve or impair the racial
qualities of future generations,
physically or mentally.”

supported by the Francis Galton Laboratory for National
Eugenics, UCL

papers by Pearson and Elderton)
12. Annals of Eugenics (till 1951)
“The papers in the Annals’ early years were concerned
with ordinary aspects of inheritance in humans. What
they were reporting was science of high quality. But the
science was used by scientists, physicians, and policy
makers, to impose a particular Darwinian view of so-
cial responsibility that led them to incarcerate, sterilize,
experiment on people, or even to exterminate them.” K.

17. Haldane and eugenics
proponent then opponent to (mainstream) eugenism,
supported human cloning (whom he christened) and
artificial breeding of individuals,
devised the name and concept of ectogenesis as a tool for
creating “better” individuals,
“[mental defect is] often not certified among the rich,
although a glance at the press will convince anyone that
they include a number of persons who satisfy the legal
criterion of imbecility (...) any [sterilization] legislation
which does not purport to apply, and is not actually ap-
plied to all social classes alike, will probably be unjustly
applied to the poor.” (J.B.S. Haldane, Nature, 1937)
