Jonathan Marks is a biological anthropologist at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Born in 1955, he studied at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and took graduate degrees in genetics and anthropology from the University of Arizona, completing his doctorate in 1984. He did post-doctoral research in the genetics department at UC-Davis from 1984-1987, then taught at Yale for 10 years and Berkeley for 3, before settling in Charlotte where he now lectures at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
His published works include Evolutionary Anthropology (1991, with Edward Staski), Human Biodiversity (1995), and What It Means to be 98% Chimpanzee (2002), and many scholarly articles and essays. He is an outspoken critic of what he considers to be scientific racism, and has prominently argued against the idea of a genetic basis "race", though he believes that so-called racial categories do have some value to the science of forensic anthropology.
