Document Summary
Biolo gi cal pre paredness for social i nteraction. Beyond faces and voices: primed to be a social partner. The ne urol o gi cal basis o f s o cial de velo pment. Ge neti cs and s ocial de velo pment. Research up close: a genetic risk for drug use. Biological foundations--movies that illustrate the biological foundations of development are numerous and diverse. Gattaca (1997) is a thoughtful science fiction drama in which children are selected through pre-implantation genetic diagnosis to ensure they possess the best hereditary traits. More compelling, nuanced and technically accurate than gattaca is jim (2010) (http://www. jimthefilm. com/), a movie that juxtaposes the worlds of now and the future. Genes and social development--the human genome project (2005) is a documentary that explains how automated gene sequencing works, how genes are isolated and fragmented, and how their dna bases are determined.
