President #Tilghman is now taking questions from the audience. Tune in here: http://www.princeton.edu/live/
#tilghman: quoting MLK, "'Darkness cannot drive darkness; only light can do that.' At Princeton we are in the business of generating light."
#tilghman: "how we proceed in this new era, and whether for good or for ill, are now up to all of us, scientist and non-scientist alike."
#tilghman: quoting Maynard Olson, "fearful science is typically bad science."
#tilghman: making prognostications of genetic make-up based on physical characteristics is imprecise at best
#tilghman: the proxies we use to define race are not irrelevant, but classification at the level of the genome needs to be much more nuanced
#tilghman: the classic view of race -- skin color and facial structure -- breaks down when genetic distinctions are analyzed.
(Download the presentation slides for President #Tilghman's lecture here: http://www.princeton.edu/live/2010/BaldwinLectureSlides2010.pdf)
#tilghman: due to the small number of humans emigrating from Africa 50,000 years ago, the most genetic variation appears in Africans.
#tilghman: differences between individuals are significantly greater than differences between groups.
