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.

It looks that way...and to the benefit of us all. Color is just one varible in the genetic mix, and probably a minor one as it relates to the genetics of medicine.
