Evolution Teaching

Heritability, the fraction of phenotypic variance attributable to the action of genes, is usually derived from a linear statistical partition of variance. In this paper we study a dichotomous phenotype whose transmission from parents to offspring depends on the parents’ phenotypes and the offspring’s genotype. Each individual is then represented as a phenogenotype. We derive expressions for each component of phenotypic variance and for covariances between relatives of various degrees. The resulting heritability estimates vary with the rates of phenotypic transmission as well as with the genetic contribution to the phenotype. Assortative mating by phenotype in parents is also shown to contribute to the correlations between relatives. In addition, we show that the frequency of alleles at genes affecting the phenotypes strongly affects standard heritability measures. This is important because for most complex traits these allele frequencies cannot be ascertained.

Evolution Teaching

This chapter chronicles the student newspaper’s evolution to an on-campus daily publication in the 1920s, and how it rapidly professionalized and became both a critical laboratory for aspiring journalists, and helped to push for the creation of a school of journalism at UNC. The chapter also discusses causes the paper fought for or against, including defeat of the 1925 anti-evolution teaching bill in the state legislature, promotion of labor unions and rights in North Carolina’s mills and factories, and freedom for the students to have speakers on campus of all political persuasions. The chapter examines the universities growing reputation as a liberal institution, both in the classical sense and politically, and the beginnings of state politicians and media to question these issues, most notably David Clark. The first attempt to racially integrate the school, by Pauli Murray, is examined. Other topics covered include the Great Depression, the major university cheating scandal of 1936, the burning of all issues of a campus humor magazine considered indecent in 1939, and the anti-war sentiment at UNC, 1939-1941.
