| As the authors of the recent Nature Neuroscience article on the neuroscience of race, we would like to express our gratitude for the Guardian's critique of an article published in the Daily Mail entitled "Racism is 'hardwired' into the human brain". The Guardian's response, by Richard Seymour (Comment is free, 27 June), is an accurate and responsible representation of the review article. Although the content of the Mail's article consisted of quotes from the original piece, the paper did not contact the researchers for comment on the scientific conclusions. The sensational title that the Daily Mail selected not only misrepresents the science, but is also damaging for intergroup relations. By using the word "hardwired" the Mail title implies that racism is innate. | As the authors of the recent Nature Neuroscience article on the neuroscience of race, we would like to express our gratitude for the Guardian's critique of an article published in the Daily Mail entitled "Racism is 'hardwired' into the human brain".

| As the Guardian article accurately cites, race attitudes are largely culturally determined and shift over time. It is our opinion that the Daily Mail's title was irresponsible and we applaud the Guardian's efforts to stand with the scientists and accurately represent research.
