Woof! Gonna need a beer keg for that one.
Asians and Caucasians both have Neanderthal DNA-Blacks do not. Asians have Denisovan genes-so do Caucasians from Eurasia. There hasn’t been any Denisovan DNA found in Blacks-apparently, the people in Africa did not travel/trade much in prehistoric times. I seriously doubt that the inability to utilize Zinc can be blamed on the DNA of of our ancestors-more likely it is just a genetic quirk in individuals-like sensitivity to drugs, food allergies, etc. Individuals with depression respond very well to psychotherapy-and I don’t think it is a genetic condition in any case-it makes far more sense to believe it is situational, due to unpleasant life experiences, but that is just my opinion...
I was recently doing research on cancer. One recent study of nine common cancers determined that all the cancer tissues were deficient in zinc, even when surrounding normal tissue was adequate or abundant with zinc. It would be interesting to look at variations in the common versus low zinc genes and the prevalence of various kinds of cancer in different people and tribes, related to the zinc usage genes. Maybe produce a test like that for breast cancer gene(s) showing who should make a point of consuming more zinc in diet or supplements to prevent cancer.
Thank you for another rich list of information to learn more about our complex early history.
Ugha uhga!
