Document Summary
Feb 15, 2012 ant204h1s - appropriating genomes: genetic anthropology. No race: no consistent patterns of genes across the human genome exist to distinguish one race from another. Ethnicity: generations in same geographic region: some alleles in common, but no allele will be found in all members of one population and in no members of any other. There is more genetic variation within races" than exists between them. The genographic project, a global 5-year research initiative launched by national geographic and ibm, will trace the migratory history of the human species. The dotted white line in the north is the ice cap at the peak of the ice age. Genome: total collection of genes in a species. Most based on dna samples taken from 1000 0 indigenous people globally. Current efforst to generate larger or more detailed database: genographic project, hapmap, human genome diversity project.
