| Relationships between race, ancestry, and genetics in humans have received much attention within and outside of the anthropology community, more recently with the undertaking of the AAA RACE project. The purpose of this survey is to learn what anthropologists know and think about this topic. We are also interested in what definition(s) or conception(s) of race are used by anthropologists. … For the purposes of this survey, unless otherwise stated, we have used the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) racial and ethnic categories; this usage may differ from popular referents. The OMB categories will allow us to compare results to existing empirical data. These categories are the basis of many popular perceptions of race. |
