02/02/2008: "Race is not visual"
For most of her life, Georgia State doctoral student Erin Harper thought of herself as African-American with French ancestry.
But through a DNA analysis project in her biopsychology class last spring, Harper learned her ancestors traveled out of east Africa, through Asia and over the Bering land bridge to what is now North America, a lineage often carried by Eskimos.
"What this project says is, `Race doesn't exist,'" [Decker] said. "Any observable differences between us are climatic adaptations. We all have the same emotions, thoughts and decision-making processes."
[ No, what it proves is that race in mixed-race people cannot be determined by looking at skin color! ]
