1. Exam #1 F 2/12 Q&A Th 2/11 from 5-7pm in PAI 3.02
Is racism genetic?

2. When did these migrations take place?

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

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

5. 1 difference in DNA nucleotides = a common ancestor ~10,000 years ago.
By determining the average time between mutations, we can estimate the time of the last common ancestor.
1 difference in DNA nucleotides = a common ancestor ~10,000 years ago.

Go Horns.

31. 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.

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