Visit the website called "RACE: Are We So Different?" (a product of the American Anthropological Association) (http://www.understandingrace.org/humvar/index.html). Explore all of the activities on human variation found on this page and then take the "Human Variation Quiz" to test your knowledge of race and human variation.
- How did you do on the quiz? If you missed some questions, can you characterize the area(s) where you tended to answer incorrectly?
- How does the activity titled the "Human Spectrum" relate to the text? Discussion of clines?
- Why are natives of Alaska and Canada not pale-skinned, given that they live in places where there are long periods of darkness every year?
- Can scientists determine a person's race by looking at his or her DNA?
- What have we learned about DNA from the Human Genome Project?
