My colleague, investigating a student for obvious GenAI use, sent me a bibliographical reference to a chapter I'd apparently written in a volume I had apparently edited. Neither title of course exists. But they were both titles I COULD have written, and he emailed because he felt he had to check.

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct." Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

“Race does not provide an accurate representation of human biological variation,” the statement reads. “Humans are not divided biologically into distinct continental types or racial genetic clusters. Instead, the Western concept of race must be understood as a classification system that emerged from, and in support of, European colonialism, oppression, and discrimination.”

“It thus does not have its roots in biological reality, but in policies of discrimination,” the statement says. “Because of that, over the last five centuries, race has become a social reality that structures societies and how we experience the world. In this regard, race is real, as is racism, and both have real biological consequences.”

Last week, @elife.bsky.social posted the version of record of our #aDNA study on Iberian aurochs/cattle. We found a lot of hybridization, probably sex-biased, stabilizing at ~20% about 4000 years ago (co-author Colin Smith coined the term 'cowrochs'). Read more: elifesciences.org/articles/93076
