The Human Genome

 Ayana Boudreaux

First, I want to say that the actions of the human genome seem very interesting, but Dr. Dunston method of teaching did not make show the genome’s greatness. She was so wrapped up in the excitement of the theory itself that she could not convey her message to us the way in which she intended. In my opinion this was by far the worst lecture I have ever received. By these words I mean no harm or disrespect; however I must speak the truth. I believe that Dr. Dunston is a great woman/achiever, but once you have reached that level of success you must be able to tell others the stories in which you have studied clearly.

Now all though I did get much out of the lecture, I did however find it very interesting that Howard University has its own gene research lab. From the works of the individuals involved in that lab there have come great things such as the findings and taking care of the African remains found in New York. Many of the students and staff of Howard University word tiresomely to make sure that the remains were properly respected. As a resolute of their efforts a memorial stands on the site where the bones were discovered.

Finally, I do believe in the genome theory and the role it has played within the history of the African American race. I just wish that Dr.Dunston would have been able to explain it to the class better.
