choice 1: Race, Genetics, and Medicine
The Atlantic published an article that delves into the study of genetics and race. The article, written by a graduate student in anthropology, looks at how race is related to medical outcomes. For example, white Americans on average live several years longer than African Americans. While medical researchers have pursued a biological explanation, the writer proposes a cultural explanation instead. This discussion topic will examine this well-written and fascinating article.
