The HapMap is putting political correctness under a microscope.
The new science of race
By CAROLYN ABRAHAM

Extract:
Yet the role of race in genetics is a subject scientists now believe they can't ignore. The future of medicine may depend on it.
In fact, a massive international effort, which includes many Canadian researchers, has been quietly under way for nearly four years to catalogue and compare the genetics of people with African, Asian and European ancestry.
It is called the Haplotype Project. You may not have heard a word about it before now. But by the end of this year, society may have to start facing its implications.
