3. There is no genetic definition of race.

4. Humans have been constantly moving and migrating. Any geographic location contains people with DNA from many different other areas...

5. The nervous system allows us to perceive the environment while the brain integrates the incoming signals to determine an appropriate response.

6. Input to brain is filtered. What are you paying attention to?

7. Active seeking of info versus Subconscious scanning for threats Are we evolutionarily adapted to detect certain threats?

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.
