Dr. C. Loring Brace
An antagonist's perspective
Dr. George W. Gill
A proponent's perspective
The concept of race is one of the most intellectually and emotionally charged
subjects, not only in society but in science as well. NOVA Online asked
two leading anthropologists, Dr. Loring Brace of
the University of Michigan and Dr. George Gill of
the University of Wyoming, who fall on either side of the debate about whether
race exists, to state their points of view. Interestingly, while these two
researchers differ radically in how they define race, they readily joined
together -- along with six other top anthropologists -- to file suit against
the federal government for the right to study Kennewick Man (see Claims for the Remains).
