[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] When the word race was used in the [i]GENETIC BREAKTHROUGH[/i] article, who was using it? The population geneticists or the journalist who wrote the article? I see population geneticists talking about geographic populations. I see a journalist dumbing it down writing about races. James Lupski uses "human genetics." Matthew Hurles uses "genetic differences." Stephen Scherer, Charles Lee, Mark Walport, Nigel Carter, none of them are quoted using the word race. Steve Connors, journalist, is the one who took the three regional identifiers, African, Asian, and European, and inferred the involvement of races rather than geographical populations. We need be careful when attributing words to a source. Does the source indeed use the word or concepts we ascribe to them? [/QB][/QUOTE]
