Genetik ett ideologiskt slagfält under 2007?

John Hawks gör 10 förutsägelser för det nya året inom genetik och antropologi, där dessa två kan ge svallvågor långt utanför den akademiska världen:

5. Evidence of recent selection will be found for several Y chromosome genes. Wishful thinking or prediction for the next year? You decide!

7. "Population cluster" will become the new "race". This one is debatable, but enough papers on multi-ethnic SNPs have used the term this year, that I think it is emerging as the replacement for the race concept for a certain class of geneticists. I expect it will continue -- "cluster" has such a neutral computer-program-centric connotation, that people like to use it.
