Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

Chose it through the list of C articles provide, then chose Anthropology because I major in it. It is rated C, so that isn't great. Anthropology has a questionable start and I feel like this article doesn't give acknowledgement to that.

It commented on the white male centric view, or at least the male view and trying to reduce the male bias found in a lot of anthropological research, especially from the beginning. In the part about medical anthropology, I feel like there are some missing aspects, maybe intentional? The only time they touch on it is one sentence under the ethics that the discipline grew out of colonialism. There is so much more racist issues underlying with the start of anthropology so that is missing information.

The source links worked and appear to be from a variety of sources.
