Secondary products revolution - using animals parts and functions (i. e. cow hide) Lactose is not well tolerated (esp. in east asian"s and native/africans americans) Changes in gene frequencies from one generations to the next. Note: deme = a reproductive/breeding population (change over the short term) Occurs over hundreds and thousands of years. Ancient dna (adna)- used in some cases, if not decayed. Greater adaptability fir a competitor species (subspecies) Mapping out various genes on various loci. Genetic engineering: genetically modified foods/organisms (gm/gmo, splicing dna occurs where they place bits in other organisms ( best bits , can make certain species hardier. This could possibly swamp the natural gene pool of certain organisms. Corporations have legal rights over certain species w/ particular genes: cloning of sheep/humans (ethical issues?) Patterned phenotypic variation within a species (often skin color) There are landmarks for measuring midorbital or interorbital breadths: e. g.
