- AHA - good thread post sportsfans….
- I am guessing this is based on/related to the DNA research in Germany -
- all those know-it-alls were wrong

If I remember correctly, the different races are about 99.84% genetically identical. (Maybe even a little less). If this is true, then wouldn’t the Neanderthals be considered a “race” if they existed today?
I don’t think the Neanderthal’s DNA died out - ever take a look at FLOTUS Moochelle?
If you gave one a shave and dressed it up, there is scarcely anything that differentiates them from modern man. Except for the larger brain capacity. They died out several thousand years ago due to competition, displacement and rapidly shrinking numbers.
Neanderthal has become a shorthand for blundering into extinction. We have been lucky thus far - but Nature plays no favorites in the struggle of life.
Humans share 50% of genes with bananas. So this is just hype, designed to overwhelm the uninformed.
a few others.
Cat: 90%
Cow: 80%
Mouse: 75%
Fruit Fly: 60%
“One caveat about the research is that one person’s epigenome can vary markedly from another’s due to diet, environment and other factors. It is therefore impossible to know whether the on/off patterns found in Neanderthal genes are typical of the species overall or peculiar to the individual studied.”
This is not a breakthrough, it is guess work. Without the mRNA they simply cannot know which genes were active and which were not.
Impossible! Just examine the statements coming from the mouths of Regime knuckle-walkers for conformation of sociopathy writ large.
the cellular equivalent of “on”/”off” switches that determine whether DNA is activated or not.
I saw this in an article a few days ago. What I learned as recessive gene expression is now call mutation. Of course mutation means evolution but gene expression says something else.
