We’re going to need more wax.

I hope this applies to women!!!

Smurf future? Morlocks perhaps?

[Malone LaVeigh]

We can only hope ...

You owe me a keyboard. I think I may have scared a few of my co-workers when I laughed out loud and spilt my drink.

BS! If it hasn’t happened by now, it won’t. Although the Brazilian women are particularly hot—somehow, I feel short changed.

We knew them as "the Harris family" ~ blue skin ~ easily dealt with by imbibing a solution of copper sulfate.

BTW, recessive genes don't disappear, they just aren't as readily observed unless you know what to look for. For example there are 82 different alleles for liver construction and function. Just a couple of years ago they believed there were only 11, and 5 years before that they imagined there were just 2. Nobody even guessed at 82 ~ and in a single population ~ with literally everybody else on Earth sharing just 1!

Eventually the 82 alleles will spread and be expressed because humans will live under conditions that favor those different alleles.

Worth noting EYE COLOR has something like 15 genes controlling it. I had green eyes for decades and then cataract surgery left me with blue eyes. It's taken most of a decade to recover my natural green eyes!

"The only explanation for the observed pattern that was consistent with the data (that we could think of) was that assortative mating had changed,"

Yet Americans are constantly being accused of being racist and that nothing has changed in hundreds of years.

My father was Irish and my mother was Dutch. Looking back I thought Irish/Dutch explained a lot - LoL!

But now my daughter is Irish/Dutch/German/Turkish, and seriously, at only three years of age you can’t tell her anything. I ask her how old she is and she says “old”.

Future humans will look like whatever they want to look like.

Am I mistaken, or has Ms. Wolchover actually slurred Brazilians by inadvertantly implying inbreeding, lol?

Interracial kids tend to be aesthetic...People in the future are going to be good looking as every few generations are better looking than previous generations. Saw pics of the first few Miss America pageants back in the 1920's. Those 10/10 of the day are 3/4/10 today at best.

This woman's mom was Kenyan and her dad was Puerto Rican. She was killed in Afghanistan this month btw. Helicopter pilot 650+ missions. RIP.

If all the ladies look like Morena Baccarin, I have no problem with that:

I think a high percentage of the Victoria Secret models and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models are Brazilian.

They’re not very shy, are they?
