Document Summary
Today"s lecture will be covered on wednesday"s exam. Distance=difference: skin color is determined by the amount of melanin in your skin and is genetically determined. Mathematically possible, but very weak, we don"t see it often. The self-interested trait, the selfish person who hoards the food, will always have the advantage in social interactions. The banding pattern on human chromosome 2 matches chromosomes 16 and 18 in the chimp genome: chimpanzee genome was sequenced in 2005, 98% of the human genome is identical to the chimpanzee genome. An extremely small number of differences make us different species, only 2% genetic differences. Current question: how much replacement of other hominins, versus assimilation : very recently, the entire neanderthal genome has been stitched together, now we can ask this question, was there ever any interbreeding between. They did interbreed (very few times, maybe a handful), but the signature of interbreeding only shows up among asian and.
