The backlash is predictable. We’re scared of sameness, of machines replacing human creativity. I get that. None of us wants to live in a dystopia of synthetic thought. There’s skepticism, eye rolls, and even a sense of shame or defensiveness when someone admits they’ve used a tool...

It sounds impossible, but it's exactly what decades of genetic research have proven: and it's turning everything we thought we knew about race upside down.
