Summary
Shreeve points out that it is very difficult to define the word “race”. He writes whether or not the word race should be used in scientific fields. He says the classifications of people are changeable and subjective. Race seems to be useful for organizing data. He uses the example which shows that race is used in police work for investigation. He also shows medical research which based on race as an example.
Reaction
Shreeve introduces many viewpoints of different anthropologists or scientists. By showing various aspects of race, Shreeve askes us “What do you think about race? ”. It was difficult for me to know what Shreeve’s opinion exactly was in this article. However, it seems that Shreeve thinks the meaning of race depends on the situation or person. That’s why we should not be ignorant about the issue of race.
