20. Is Race Necessarily a Defining Characteristic? Can race be erased? Coalitional computation and social categorization (December 18, 2001) PNAS vol. 98 no. 26 pg 15387–15392 Robert Kurzban, John Tooby, and Leda Cosmides http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/98/26/15387 http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/98/26/15387

21. My birthday is in April. My birthday is in June. My birthday is in August. My birthday is in January. My birthday is in July. My birthday is in October. My birthday is in May. My birthday is in February. Can race be erased? Coalitional computation and social categorization (December 18, 2001) PNAS vol. 98 no. 26 pg 15387–15392 Random Statements

22. I like orange.Hook em’.I like to wear overalls. Go Horns.I like to wear chaps. I like Maroon. Gig em’. Go Aggies. Can race be erased? Coalitional computation and social categorization (December 18, 2001) PNAS vol. 98 no. 26 pg 15387–15392 Coalition Membership

23. I like orange.Hook em’.I like to wear overalls. Go Horns. I like to wear chaps. I like Maroon. Gig em’. Go Aggies. When alternate coalition membership information is introduced, race is ignored.

24. Despite a lifetime's experience of race as a predictor of social alliance, less than 4 min of exposure to an alternate social world was enough to deflate the tendency to categorize by race. These results suggest that racism may be a volatile and eradicable construct that persists only so long as it is actively maintained through being linked to parallel systems of social alliance.

25. Humans are highly skilled at grouping objects (like people). How we group people is largely determined by our environment.

26. What makes us who we are? Nature, and Nurture Based on “Nature via Nurture” by Matt Ridley (2003)

27. 23 pairs of human chromosomes ½ of each pair is from mom and the other ½ from dad.

28. Protein Genes code for proteins. Cells function because of proteins. Organisms are collections of cells. CB 5.26

29. Protein The connection between genes and traits is rarely direct. What influences traits? Nature or Nurture? CB 5.26

30. Nurture Imprinting: exposure to movement (environment) sets “mother”

31. Nature X/Y chromosomes in humans: genes = traits XY XX

32. Twin studies have been used to determine the heritability of various traits.
