Our department is adopting a 2-semester core course for entering grad students, 1 semester of grad evolution, 1 semester of ecology. I'd love to see what other depts are doing with equivalent EEB grad core courses, so if you teach one & are willing to share a syllabus & reading list please LMK

Perfect multispecies collaboration example! 😂

Maybe worth highlighting that the people in this article identified through genetic ancestry testing very recent ancestors that in most cases met the social/legal criteria for citizenship in different countries. Your DNA doesn’t define your identity/belonging. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Today, we’re very similar to each other. Even the most different people are at most maybe 200,000 years separated, with little gene flow,” Reich said. “But 70,000 years ago, there were at least five groups far more different from each other than any groups living today.”

The thing about living in a human society is you either decide that everyone (except those for whom it would be medically dangerous) has to take VACCINES into their bodies or everyone (with no exceptions at all) has to take VIRULENT PATHOGENS in from those around them and, look, the first is better.
