 Peter Menzel/ASA / ASA, (1992) Professor Alec Jeffreys (b. 1950), English molecular biologist and discoverer of DNA fingerprinting. In the background is an image of an autoradiogram, the visualization technique used to compare DNA samples. A DNA fingerprint is a unique genetic sequence, which identifies any individual, human or animal, from a tiny sample of tissue such as blood, hair, or sperm. Its many uses include the identification and conviction of criminals, and the proving of family relationships, such as the paternity of a child. Only monozygotic identical twins share the same DNA. DNA consists of two sugar- phosphate backbones, arranged in a double helix, linked by nucleotide bases. There are 4 types of base; adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). Sequences of these bases make up genes, which encode an organisms genetic information. The bands (black) on the autoradiogram show the sequence of bases in a sample of DNA. Jeffreys is a professor in the Department of Genetics at the University of Leicester, England. MODEL RELEASED |
 Peter Menzel/ASA / ASA, CHA104.8703.xf1brw A young refugee mother prepares to cook a meal of aiysh (the thick porridge that this refugee family eats three times a day), in the makeshift kitchen area outside of her United Nations-issued tent at Breidjing Refugee Camp in eastern Chad. (Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats)/// Chemically altering plant and animal tissue by exposing it to heat is one of the oldest and certainly the most distinctive practices in human cultureÑHomo sapiens, as Alfred W. Crosby points out in his essay in the book Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, is the only species that cooks (pages 52-53). Although the kitchens in these images are wildly different in location and appearance, all of them form the center of a home, even if only temporarily. Kitchens are where families take care of themselves. Cooking is a fundamental task that women, throughout the ages, have undertaken. /// Please note: There is a similar situation with complete story of ÒThe Aboubakar Family.Ó The Aboubakar family from Darfur province, Sudan is one of the thirty families featured, with a weeksÕ worth of food, in the book Hungry Planet: What the World Eats. (Please refer to Hungry Planet book p. 52-53 for a family portrait including a weeksÕ worth of food, and the familyÕs detailed food list with total cost.) Image number CHA104.0001. |
