Types of Sympatric Isolation

A

Q

Reproductive Isolation and Separation

Examples

A
  • Salamanders in California are same species but different subspecies
  • Need to be polymorphic in gene pool for subspecies
  • May become sep species with time and more genetic variation

Q

Reproductive Isolation and Separation

Subspecies Criteria

A
  1. Polymorphic
  2. Geo Isolation but can interbreed

Q

Evolution of Skin Color

Old Theory

A
  • Started with chimps wit hwhite skin
  • From Persistance Hunting, Sweating, and less hair, there was more need for melanin
  • Problem: Cancer comes too late for evolution

Q

Evolution of Skin Color

New Theory

A
  • Because UV destroys Folate and Folic Acid, needs to increase melanin for dark skin
  • Since UV needed for Vitamin D production
    1. Vitamin D needed for calcium absorption
    2. Decerased Vitamin D ==> Rickets
    3. As go away from equator:Decreased melanin for Vitamin D
  • Balance between Vitamin D and Folate

24
Q

Bias

Actor-Observer bias

A
  • External affect us
  • Internal affect others
25
Q

Bias

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

A
  • Treat someone based on bias which leads to proving bias
26
Q

Bias

How different societies view success and failure

A
  • Individualistic: Success = Internal vs Failure = External
  • Collectivisitic: Success = External vs Failure = Internal
27
Q

Racism

Ideological(Explicit) vs Implicit

A
  • Nazis/KKK vs Unconcious
28
Q

Problems with IAT

David Amodio and Patricia Devine

A
  1. Testing with Trivia and what parts they take
  2. How close they sit to a partners chair based on name sound
29
Q

Problems with IAT

Phyiscian Implicit Bias

A
  • Black recieve less analgesia b/c can tolerate less pain
  • White more treatment
30
Q

Evolutionary Causes for Implicit Bias

Group Reasons

A
  • Outgroup Bias
  • Reduced with religion which makes more people ingroup
31
Q

Evolutionary Causes for Implicit Bias

Brain Reasons

A
  • amygdala: Lights up with racial bias
  • Non-stressful conditions = ventromedial PFC dampening
  • Stressful = hypothalamus and amygdala activation
32
Q

Evolutionary Causes for Implicit Bias

Tania Singer

A
  • Mirror neurons when other people get hurt
  • in the Anterior Singulate Cortex
33
Q

Defining Race

Biology vs Societal

From Smith

A
  • Bio = Similar
  • Soc = Difference ==> judgement/stereotypes==> power
    • also equal action of percieving others
34
Q

Male vs Female Ethics

Sex

A

Biology at Birth

35
Q

Male vs Female Ethics

Sexuality

A
  • Psychiology
  • Masculine / Feminine
36

Q

Biological Separation of Males and Females

Wolffian Ducts

A
  • Dev with Testosterone @ 6 weeks
40
Q

Biological Separation of Males and Females

A
  • Dev without Testosterone @ 6 weeks
41
Q

Biological Separation of Males and Females

Y-chromosome

A
  • < 74 genes
  • Determine increased height and bone length
  • SRY gene
42
Q

Biological Separation of Males and Females

SRY gene

A
  • Transcription Factor
  • Leads to production of Testosterone, anti-müllerian hormone (Internal Structures)
  • Test ==> 5alpha-Reduction==> dihydrogentestosterone (External)
43
Q

Biological Separation of Males and Females

  • Swyer: No SRY
    • Tall but really small uterus and infertile
  • XX male: XX and SRY
    • Male/ Ambiguous External Appearance: male gender role
    • Sterile(azoospermia)
  • XY Androgen Insensitivity(AIS): No binding of Test
    • External = female
    • Psych = female
    • Tall, thin, no uterus

48
Q

Male vs Female Brain Comparisons

Hormone effect on sep brains

A
  • Second wave of Testosterone ==> Male brain
49
Q

Homosexuality

How Homosexual males different from Hetero males

A
  • Have cell clusters in hypothalamus≈ hetero women
  • Have male pheremone receptors
  • Caused by many genes
  • More male older siblings ==> increased chance of homosexuality
50
Q

Heritability

Purely Genetic Syndromes

A
  • Down: Extra trisome(chromosome)
  • Klinefelter: XXY(appear male but masks male effects)
51
Q

Heritability

Definition

A
  • Proportion of variation among individuals in population due to genetic causes
  • Calculated by Heritability Coefficient
  • Abstract and Population Concepts: math and not about individuals
52
Q

Heritability

MAO-A

A
  • Warrior Gene
  • Increased = less agression in men and vice versa in women
53
Q

Heritability

Seratonin

A
  • Balance Critical
  • Too much = anxiety; Too little = agressive
  • Short-form==> Agression
54
Q

Heritability

Phenylketonuria(PKU)

A
  • Couldn’t break down Phenylalanine ==> neurotoxicity
  • Can alter by decreasing Phen in diet==> healthier babies
55
Q

Gay Marriage

Past Cases

A
  • 1986: Bowers v. Hardwick: State decision
  • 1996: Romer v. Evans: Colorado couldn’t descriminate
  • 2003: Lawrence v. Texas: Complete SCOTUS overturning(no state control)
  • 2013: US v. Windsor & Hollingsworth v. Perry: 0 talk about marriage
56
Q

Gay Marriage

Obergefell v. Hodges

2015

A
  • Gay marriage legal
  • 4 principles
    1. Personal Choice and Autonomy: Loving
    2. Marriage Contraceptions(Intimate Associations): Griswold
    3. Purpose of Marriage(safeguards children and family): Windsor
    4. Marriage = keystone of nation’s social order: Maynard
57
Q

Gay Marriage

Majority vs Dissenting Opinion

A
  • Kennedy: Lawfully expressing identity
  • Roberts: SCOTUS ≠ Leg ==> 0 role in case
