I thought I would be much worse than average, because I have a really hard time remembering faces of actors. I mix people up all the time. For instance I thought Hayden Christensen looked a lot like this other guy, insisting that they were the same person, totally mixing up their relative film resumes
I did a bit of "lite" research. Here's a cool story about race & how race relates to natural variation in our human species. I think it's really compelling, and answered a couple of questions that linger in my mind even after several social psychology, behavior genetics, and of course-- biology classes.
Enjoy!
