deoxyribonucleic acid

after the first few sentences, I knew I was going to have a problem with this article. almost every one we have read so far is so factual with fancy italicized words like Australopithecus and blaming humans for all the problems with the earth, and not that the blame isn't correctly pointed, but what are these authors doing about fixing these problems besides writing 10 plus page pieces about saving the planet that are being printed in books, half of which will probably never be read, on paper...made from TREES. talk about waste.

so, i basically just skimmed through the rest of the article looking for interesting words to pop out at me. i think HapMap was my favorite, even though i still don't really know what it is, other than it has to do with the study done by former "fossil guy" Hawks. and ok, why Swedes and Asian Americans the two that get to lack the mutation? I mean, its not like they share ancestors or anything. oh and then my favorite....Darwin; the evolution god of natural selection. i really like the idea of it even though i think it's a total cop out to get out of saying that we really don't know everything about DNA, which for me just brought back thoughts of writing out the different strands in 10th grade biology. really, i think when we begin to talk about DNA and genes, we forget that it's actually stuff happening inside of us, humans, and not just some experimental test subject. it's pretty personal.
