THE ANTHROPOCENE…
• For hundreds of thousands of years humans have been shaping and managing the world, and recently we’re doing it with increasing speed, influence, and zeal.
• The human imprint on the global environment has now become so large and active that it rivals some of the great forces of Nature in its impact on the functioning of the Earth system” -Stefan et al. 2011
• “a kind of hybrid Earth, of nature injected with human will, however responsibly or irresponsibly that will may have been exercised” -Hamilton and Grinevald 2015

SCIENCE VS HUMANITIES?
• CP Snow and the “two cultures”
• Ways of knowing, reductionism and complexities
• Universities and Institutional structures
• Disciplinary “boundaries”
• Publication processes and funding structures
• Serious conflicts real and ideological
• Places of non-overlap?
• Lack of imagination?

LOCALES/CONTEXTS FOR MOVING TOWARDS ENHANCED ENGAGEMENT
• Being and Becoming Human in the Anthropocene and “seeing the elephant”
• History
• Environments and Ecologies
• Race and Racism
• Immigration and Identity
• Inequality and Health
• Human Nature(s) and Human Future(s)

THREE BRIEF EXAMPLES
• Contemporary Evolutionary Theory (EES) and understanding humans
• Race, racism and inequality
• From “genetics” to epigenetics and beyond

MOVING AWAY FROM SINGLE EVENTS TO A SYSTEMS APPROACH
![Page 14: Beyond boundaries: interlacing evolution, epigenetics ...€¦ · BEYOND BOUNDARIES: INTERLACING EVOLUTION, EPIGENETICS, CREATIVITY AND DIVERSITY IN UNDERSTANDING BEING AND BECOMING](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051606/601bd12cf1817d589e0f2db8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
THE EXTENDED EVOLUTIONARY SYNTHESIS
• Mutation introduces genetic variation which in interaction with epigenetic and developmental processes produces biological variation in organisms, which may be passed from generation to generation
• Natural Selection shapes variation in response to specific constraints and pressures in the environment (sensu lato) and Gene flow and Genetic Drift structure the distribution and patterns (landscape) of that variation
• Dynamic organism-environment interaction can result in niche construction which can change/shape the patterns, foci, and intensity of natural selection and creates ecological inheritance
• Phenotypic plasticity, developmental plasticity/reactivity, & acquisition of non-genetically induced features (via Neo-Lamarckian processes) all can play substantive roles in the patterns and production of variation
• Multiple pathways of inheritance (genetic, epigenetic, behavioral and symbolic) can affect evolutionary processes
![Page 15: Beyond boundaries: interlacing evolution, epigenetics ...€¦ · BEYOND BOUNDARIES: INTERLACING EVOLUTION, EPIGENETICS, CREATIVITY AND DIVERSITY IN UNDERSTANDING BEING AND BECOMING](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051606/601bd12cf1817d589e0f2db8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
NATURAL SELECTION IS NOT THE ONLY ARCHITECT OF FUNCTION… NOR IS EVOLUTIONARY CHANGE
NECESSARILY RANDOM
• Traditional (Neo-Darwinian) • Natural Selection targeted to genes or individuals
• Gene flow
• Genetic Drift
• Contemporary (Extended Synthesis) • Natural selection
• Flow of variation
• Drift of variation
• Epigenetic inheritance
• Behavioral and symbolic inheritance
• Niche construction and ecological inheritance- restructuring the context in which variance occurs

BLACK AND WHITE?
• Melanocytes, melanin and UV light

HUMAN GENETICS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THIS…
“European”
“Asian” “African”
![Page 32: Beyond boundaries: interlacing evolution, epigenetics ...€¦ · BEYOND BOUNDARIES: INTERLACING EVOLUTION, EPIGENETICS, CREATIVITY AND DIVERSITY IN UNDERSTANDING BEING AND BECOMING](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051606/601bd12cf1817d589e0f2db8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
THIS IS WHAT HUMAN GENETIC VARIATION LOOKS LIKE
Variation w/in African populations
Variation in populations Outside of Africa

IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE THAT BIOLOGY DIVIDES HUMANS INTO 3-5 MEASURABLE UNITS?
NO • Africa, Asia and Europe?-nope
• Black, White, Yellow, Red?-nope
• Caucasoid, Mongoid and Negroid?-nope
• Causasian, Eurasian, Melanesian, Austronesian, Nilotic,
and on and on- nope

BUT….:
• Humans do vary in biology and ability--we are not all the same
• We can tell populations apart based on some biological characteristics
• populations have variable assemblages of traits relative to other populations-migration, mating, history, environmental variables, etc….

RACE
Experience
Development
Education Economics
Bio-History
Physiology
Health
Political context
Social history
Ethnicity
In our society “Race” is a shorthand for the interaction of a multitude of factors,
It is not a stand-alone category, unit, or entity, nor is it static… but it is very real
![Page 37: Beyond boundaries: interlacing evolution, epigenetics ...€¦ · BEYOND BOUNDARIES: INTERLACING EVOLUTION, EPIGENETICS, CREATIVITY AND DIVERSITY IN UNDERSTANDING BEING AND BECOMING](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051606/601bd12cf1817d589e0f2db8/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
RACE MATTERS
• In tests of housing markets conducted by the US department of Housing and Urban Development Black and Hispanic potential renters and buyers are discriminated against (relative to whites) nearly 25% of the time
• the median usual weekly earnings of full-time wage and salary workers were $601 for blacks and $541 for Hispanics, compared with $880 for Asians and $757 for whites.
• The 2011 infant mortality rate per 1000 births USA average 6.39, for whites 5.29, for blacks 12.4, for hispanics 5.33
• Percentage of groups without health insurance pre 2013, USA average 17.2%, whites 12.2%, blacks 20.9%, hispanics 33.5%, (other primarily asian) 17.7%
• -The 2009 net worth of households in the USA:
white: $113,149, black: $5677, and hispanic: $6325

SO WHAT?
“Race” as we use the term and classification is not a reflection of biological groups
Therefore
Patterned differences that occur between what we call “Races” are not caused by inherent biological differences in these “Races”
They are due to social, historical, political, economic, and experiential contexts and…
Are changeable
