ABSTRACT
The existence of between-group differences in the human species has been approached in several different ways. Racist anthropology is one in which group properties are attributed to individuals, and their worth judged accordingly. This violates biological principles and stands in opposition to our ethical values. Racial anthropology seeks to study biological differences among human groups. This study has been done using many criteria, but often the questions are put in the Linnaean framework: How many races are there and what are they?
