Understanding Race

Race: no gene has substantiated it and no scientist has quantified it, yet it continues to polarize the world’s populations like no other concept. This compelling program examines the history and power of the artificial distinction called "race," viewing it within historical, scientific, and cultural contexts. Topics include the anthropological unity of Homo sapiens; sanctioned discrimination, such as segregation; cultural biases based on racial stereotypes; and the underlying humanity that inextricably links us all. A Discovery Channel Production. (52 minutes)
