Scope and content
File consists of Jerome Barkow's notes for his The 1951 Atom is the 2001 Gene presentation at Carleton University in 2001. The notes talk about how advances made in studying biology and genes will help to advance mankind, just how the discovery of the atom and nuclear power was regarded as an advancement by people during the 1940s and 1950s. Barkow posits that problems like war, world hunger, pollution will all be changed or mitigated by genetically tailored solutions. But for Barkow, what interests him about genetics is that they help to explain human nature, like how our emotions are tailored by our evolution.
