Humane Genetics Curriculum (HGC) Student Materials Lesson 8
Abstract
In this lesson of the Humane Genetics Curriculum (HGC), students figure out: Genes can be a cause of variation within a group if all group members experience the same environment. But, because different races experience different environments, and because racial disparities change across environments, we should be skeptical of anyone who claims that racial disparities boil down to genes alone.
