Sustainable Development

13.4K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

What is Evolutionary History?

38.7K
Scientists record evolutionary history by analyzing fossil, morphological, and genetic data. The fossil record documents the history of life on Earth and provides evidence for evolution. However, both fossil and living organisms offer evidence that outlines Earth’s evolutionary history.

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

208
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Evolutionary Psychology

354
Evolutionary psychology explores the origins of human behavior and mental processes by framing them within the context of natural selection, a theory famously propounded by Charles Darwin. This field asserts that many behaviors common across human societies — ranging from instinctive fear reactions to complex social interactions — arose as evolutionary adaptations. These adaptations enhanced the survival and reproductive success of our ancestors, thereby becoming embedded in the...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.4K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioethics
  • Social Sciences

Background:

  • The American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) launched a year-long initiative in 2021 to address historical injustices.
  • The initiative was prompted by the 2020 social and racial reckonings.
  • Concerns were raised about the use of human genetics to justify racism and eugenics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To acknowledge and reckon with past injustices within the field of human genetics.
  • To examine the role of ASHG in perpetuating or failing to rebuke systemic harms.
  • To identify steps ASHG can take to address historical findings and promote equity.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive research and environmental scan was conducted.
  • Four expert panel meetings were held with diverse specialists.
  • A community dialogue was facilitated to gather input.

Main Results:

  • The report details how human genetics theories have been misused to support racism and eugenics.
  • It identifies specific instances of ASHG's role in fostering or failing to rebuke harms.
  • The findings underscore the need for systemic change within the field.

Conclusions:

  • ASHG must actively address its historical role in perpetuating injustice.
  • The Society is committed to implementing steps to promote equity and prevent future harms.
  • Reckoning with the past is crucial for advancing justice in human genetics.
