DESCRIPTION:In the early 1950s\, the blood group results of more than half
  a million people were collected at a new centre at London's Royal Anthrop
 ological Institute. Jenny's talk will be about how blood groups were given
 \nanthropological meaning. Focusing on the director of this new centre\, A
 rthur Mourant\, she will discuss how blood was collected from populations 
 around the world\, stored\, transported and tested\, and how blood groups 
 were made into genetic data and integrated into textual and graphical repr
 esentations of human history and race.
