Why?What should you do to continue this investigation?Using the South University Online Library, find two peer-reviewed articles discussing genetics and food preference. Using the skills you learned from this week's lectures, summarize each of them.What is a primary source for any research study? Why is it important to read the primary source?Why do most students settle for reading secondhand or thirdhand accounts of research studies instead of reading the primary source?When might you have to depend on a secondary source of information? Are thirdhand accounts of research studies reliable? Why?
