Hi

A few days ago we talked about geography and personality, including 
differentiation of sub-groups within countries.  Swiss were used as an example. 
 The following site shows a "beautiful" (perhaps depending on your thinking 
about genes) graph differentiating Swiss into 3 clusters by DNA similarity: 
German, French, and Italian, each of which is similar to the "parent" nation.

Given the increasing number of findings of this sort, seems increasingly 
difficult to maintain any social constructionist argument that biological 
differentiation by race and ethnicity is spurious.  Likely to lead to some 
sensitive discussions in psychology classes?

Take care
Jim
