Genetic Genealogy

/in /by

Identification of which of the subfields of anthropology your topic falls into and how you know;
Clearly defined anthropological framework for your topic using the discipline’s concepts,
theories, and terminology throughout your paper (aim for at least 6-8 specific
mentions/explanations/uses);
Discussion of what “social responsibility” looks like as an anthropologist within the context of
your selected topic;
At least one use of statistical data to support your research; and,
At least 3 academic references and citations from reputable sources like academic journals.
Your textbook may count for one.
I encourage you to check with me about topics if you are unsure – specific is good and will likely make writing your paper much easier! For example, if you are interested in doing your paper on genocide, select a specific incident to explore like the genocide that occurred in Rwanda. If you
are interested in genetic genealogy, you might want to look at how this approach is being used
by forensic anthropologists to solve cold-case crimes.
