Summary Introduction
To review:
The consequences of assortative mating amongst humans in a society. Also, justify whether a society that mated randomly would be advantageous or not.
Introduction:
With time, the Americans have incorporated genes within their gene pool of the people from various cultures and societies. The various immigrants have brought their culture from their respective countries, which now is difficult to segregate due to perfect blending. Such a society is known as ‘melting pot’.
