Importance of genetics to the study of humans

The main thing that physical anthropologists looked at before the era of genomics was physical features. The study of physical anthropology was essentially a field of comparative anatomy. With the era of genomics our field has changed significantly. For example, based on anatomical features alone, chimps and orangutans should be in a related branch while humans should be on a separate evolutionary branch. With comparative genomics our views have changed because now chimps and humans are in a common branch while orangutans are in their own separate branch.

The idea for this week’s discussion board is for you folks to find something that made the news that highlights the importance of genetics current anthropological research.
