Two experts on mitochondrial disease, Dr. Michael Brown of the Mercer University School of Medicine in Macon, Ga., and Dr. Gino Cortopassi of the University of California, Davis, said Dr. Wallace's ideas about African mitochondria made sense but had yet to reach practical significance. "We've not yet got to the stage of being able to give advice to African Americans," Dr. Brown said. But we might be near the point where differences in medical outcomes could be explained by something other than racism in society in general and the medical establishment in particular. BTW, more prostate cancer and less osteoporosis is also correlated with higher testosterone levels in Africans as opposed to Caucasians.

Hey neverdem, remember when coach Dusty Baker made his comment about Blacks being more suited to the heat? He caught hell for that.

How is this story about braking news abuse? It certainly doesn't deserve extended news.
I searched the story with FR search command. It has never been reported in general newspapers before this copy of the Times. This story about genetic differences in mitochondrial DNA causing diseases and differences in morbidity and mortality between people with different anccestries could undercut the charges of racism in the results of different medical care.

"results of different medical care." should have been "results of different medical outcomes in morbidity and mortality."

I took this thread out of breaking news. ConservativeMan55 had nothing to do with it.

Sure, I believe you know science. CM55 doesn't appreciate new scientific information. AFAIK, the thread has been pulled, unless AM reposted it. If you have never heard of this story about "Ice Age Ancestry", genes and disease before, and you think it qualifies as breaking news, maybe you should contact the Admin Moderator. Ping anyone that understands science, please.
I doubt CM55 even read the story, just the title.

LOL. Well actually I should have removed your name from that post. I was asking blam if he wanted me to ping the Gods, Graves, and Glyphs list.

Yes.
Very good article neverdem. I believe within the next ten years there will become a branch of medicine perhaps titled 'genetic medicine.' There are clearly differences in the races (and every thing in between) and the effectiveness of different medicines within that race...and I'm using the word 'race' as meaning a specific genetic signature. If you like this sort of 'stuff', read the below linked article: (It blows my mind)

Are medical researchers going to start testing for particular gene markers? I hope so if they are going to go down this road of ancestry medicine. Places like the Caribbean where there is a lot of mixing of ethnicities for years and years will certainly make it warranted. To most people 'race' is more political in this country and to ask some people who are white if they are white, may say no I'm Indian or something. I don't know how different the races really are anyway.
