1. Exam #3 W 12/5 at 7-8:30pm 9am class in ETC 2.108 and noon class in ECJ 1.202 Review T 12/4 at 5pm in WRW 102 Homework #4 due now

2. Evolution: A species’ genetic component changes as the individuals reproduce. These changes are based on how the DNA changes and who reproduces.

3. How are we related, and where did we come from?

4. The earth is covered in H. sapiens, but it wasn’t always.

5. When did these migrations take place?

6. DNA is passed from generation to generation, and therefore can tell us about relationships between individuals.

7. Mitochondrial DNA comparisons can be used to trace ancestry:

8. Human DNA is divided into 46 chromosomes (23 pairs)

9. X 23 in humans X 23 in humans X 23 in humans Each of us are a combination of DNA from mom and dad.

10. Mom provides 50.000275% and Dad provides 49.999825% of DNA to offspring. … because Mom provides 100% of mitochondrial DNA

11. Non-Coding DNA is used for comparisons between individuals

12. Fig 1 and 4 As DNA is passed on mutations take place

13. Fig 4

14. By determining the average time between mutations, we can estimate the time of the last common ancestor.

15. Fig 4 The mutation rate in human mtDNA is one nucleotide change per 20,000 years. OR A difference of one nucleotide between two people indicates a common relative 10,000 years ago.

16. When did these migrations take place?

17. Multiregional hypothesis “Out of Africa” hypothesis Two hypotheses about the origin of H. sapiens

24. There is no genetic definition of race.

27. Multiregional hypothesis: disproved by mtDNA data “Out of Africa” hypothesis: disproved by other DNA data Two hypotheses about the origin of H. sapiens

28. 7 Daughters of Eve, fig. 2 From Science v298 12/20/02 pg 2381 93-95% of genetic variation within population. 3-5% of genetic variation occurs between populations. Relationships of different people using mtDNA.

29. Race has no genetic definition.

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

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

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

48. I like orange.Hook em’.Acie Law is awesome. Go Horns.Kevin Durant is awesome. I like Maroon. Gig em’. Go Aggies. When alternate coalition membership information is introduced, race is ignored.

49. 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.
