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).
