Some scientists believe that racism is a hardwired, instinctual
function of the brain. . . . While blaming evolution for racism may be
a popular argument among creationists looking to discredit evolution,
those looking to displace the guilt associated with their racial
prejudice, and some scientists (whatever their motivation), what is
the evidence for such a claim? . . . Humans love to categorize and
class objects and people; it just seems to be in our nature. Think of
the three most common ways in which the state, our neighbors, work
colleagues, and even dating websites categorize people: age, ***, and
race. Link: http://www.scienceagogo.com/news/skin_deep.shtml
