Lecture #21—Understanding
Modern Human Variation
Moving Past Eugenics
The Emerging Evolutionary Perspective
• WWII happened
– The consequences of eugenics-based policies.
• Darwin + Modes of Inheritance = Adaptation to
Local Conditions
– Our knowledge of evolution and biology was
expanding dramatically
• Humans are polytypic
– local populations that vary in the expression of more
than one trait
– even within human populations there is a great deal
of variation in the expression of traits
The Modern Perspective
• Genetics
– Emphasis on phenotype too superficial
– Races are not fixed biological entities with all individuals
conforming to a certain type
– Significant variation within populations
• Phenotypic variation exists and roughly corresponds to
geographical distribution
• But, need to ask some important questionswhat
does this variation mean? what is its origin?
– Adaptive significance? Genetic drift? Gene flow between
populations?
The Modern Perspective
• There is more variation within populations of
humans than there is between populations of
humans
• Gene flow—there has always been interbreeding
• Modern humans are less genetically variable than
all other species
– Recent African origins
• Traits used to define race are polygenic
– Continuous range of variation
Moving from Race to Adaptive Significance
of Variation
• Human variation is the result of adaptations to
environmental conditions and gene flow
• As human populations migrated to settle
different parts of the world, they adapted to
local conditions but gene flow is always a part
of human populations

The Adaptive Significance of Skin Color

traits
• Populations with the greatest amount of
pigmentation are found in the tropics.
• Populations with lighter skin color are
associated with more northern latitudes.

How to Make a National Cuisine:
Cookbooks in Contemporary India
ARJUN APPADURAI
University of Pennsylvania
Cookbooks, which usually belong to the humble literature of complex civi-
lizations, tell unusual cultural tales. They combine the sturdy pragmatic vir-
tues of all manuals with the vicarious pleasures of the literature of the senses.
They reflect shifts in the boundaries of edibility, the proprieties of the culinary
process, the logic of meals, the exigencies of the household budget, the
vagaries of the market, and the structure of domestic ideologies. The exis-
tence of cookbooks presupposes not only some degree of literacy, but often an
effort on the part of some variety of specialist to standardize the regime of the

Food systems, food security and environmental changeIIED
This is a presentation given by Dr John Ingram of Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute (ECI) to a Critical Theme organised by the International Institute for Environment and Development on 12 February 2015.
Dr Ingram leads the Environmental Change Institute's Food Systems Research and Training Programme, which aims to increase understanding of the interactions between food security and environmental change. The programme's research products have been adopted by national and international organisations, including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the UK and Dutch governments.
In his presentation, Ingram looked at food system activities and 'planetary boundaries' – the safe operating space for humanity with respect to the earth's biophysical systems. If these planetary boundaries are crossed, then important subsystems, such as a monsoon system, could shift into a new state. Such shifts could have damaging consequences, including undermining the environmental conditions and the natural resource base on which our food security depends.
IIED hosts Critical Themes meetings to explore new ideas, introduce new research and broaden the knowledge of its staff.

Ethnic Food of Cross-Culture Adaptation What role .docxjoyjonna282
Ethnic Food of Cross-Culture Adaptation
What role does food play in society? Haiming Liu and Lianlian Lin point out the role in the Journal of Asian American Studies, “Food is an expression of ethnic resilience” (150). With regard to food, it means ethnic food in other countries tries to balance between adaptations and authenticity. Chinese food in America and KFC in overseas countries are controversial due to authenticity. Chinese food in America is not as pure as in China, the changing of ingredients and structure of meals which can interpreted as Americanization. Also, KFC branches in oversea countries offer different food to meet the local people’s taste. Some argue that the adaptation of ethnic food harms authenticity, even the ethnic food would totally mix with other culture’s food. However, ethnic food does not lose its authenticity, but adapts to local cultures.
Chinese food does change a lot to cater the local people’s taste. After a Qing government official, Li Hongzhang, visited the U.S.A in late 1800s, he changed the popularity of Chinese food by bringing his favorite food called “chopsuey”. Rapidly, chopsuey houses attracted many New Yorkers and out-of-town guests. Post-1965 Chinese immigrants become more diverse than the old generation. New immigrants brought the new taste such as Hunan, Mandarin, and Szechwan variations of Chinese cuisines to serve Chinese clients in Chinatown. For the American people, eating Chinese food is not only the exotic experience, they treat it as a weekly routine and a Christmas tradition. Chinese food in America is so popular because it meets Americans’ taste, but that does not mean Chinese food has lost its authenticity.
Even though American people appreciate Chinese food, what they are eating is the Americanized Chinese food. According to Lu and Fine’s article “The Presentation of Ethnic Authenticity”, the traditional Chinese food “is prevented by social, cultural, and economic constraints of the market” (540). Because of these constraints, Chinese food had to change the ingredients, cooking process and structure of meals. To meet American tastes, many restaurants change the ingredients of the cuisine. For example, the authentic Chinese food uses wax gourd and fresh bamboo roots instead of broccoli and green peppers which largely used in America. Although some vegetables are available in America, the cost is higher than American vegetables. The structure of meals is also altered. According to Liu and Lin’s investigation, they point out a totally different meal format from the food in China, “Tea was offered as a free soft drink, soup was served at the beginning rather than the end of the meal and the fortune cookie was invented as a free dessert delivered with the bill” (150). In facts, in China, soup is served at the end of the meal and tea is not often seen in restaurants. From the American people’s point of view, the most representational of Chinese food, fortune cookies are an American ...

This presentation attempts to introduce some of the major aspects of the linguistic situation in the United States. The first Part outlines significant moments in the development of the English language. It also sheds light on some of the consequences of this development on minority languages. The second part offers an overall picture of the language policies adopted in the United States.
With the advent of Internet technologies, online communities have proliferated over the last three decades. People from dispersed locations are constantly coming together on virtual spots and are enabled by a wide range of software technologies to share common interests and concerns. With early emergent examples, online communities have received intensive study across various academic disciplines. This presentation aims at introducing the basic framework for understanding the specificities of online communities. The first section tries to construct an understanding of these communities by analysing their components. The second section exposes some of the influence spheres of this new virtual space. electronic media

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Artistic creations
“Food and film inherit traditions with a broad range of values.
Large- scale industry proliferation of social pabulum has come
to dominate in both. Perennially renewed resistance to this
domination, however, thrives in both food culture and film
culture. The hallmark in either case is dedication to exquisite
creations within the dedicated practice of an art.” P. 265
“What slow films has in common with slow food is the
prevailing presence of care, care for the making of food, care
for the making of the films, but foremost for the one for whom
it is meant, who will in turn will be ready for the receipt of the
gift. In stark contrast, industrial food and industrial film find
value strictly in terms of the exchange of price for
commodity.” P275

14. Evaluation
The use of fast food in a movie is not necessarily a
sign of complicity and consolidation of the
dominant consumptive habits
Not all Hollywood adaptations are by necessity
driven by an intentional marketing for the capitalist
values.
The construct of slow food may not keep the same
defining boundaries across different cultures.
