1. How did the Hopi culture contribute to the high incidence of albinism among members of the Hopi tribe? Solution: In the Hopi culture, albino individuals were considered special and awarded special status in the village. Hopi male albinos were not required to work the fields, thus avoiding extensive exposure to sunlight that could prove damaging or deadly. Albinism was considered a positive trait and not a negative physical condition, which allowed albinos to have more children, increas...
