How about protecting sexually impressionable kids by any means necessary from adult homosexuals who prey on them for sex and diddle them? That would also include keeping them out from under the influence of those who don't have sex with them but indoctrinate them endlessly on the acceptability of homosexuality in our "public education" cesspools.
Would that help prevent the "canalization" of those mysterious "stronger-than-average SA-epi-marks"?
I'd bet it would. Big Time...
Thank you for the reply. You at least confirmed that this is largely beyond my basic biology education.
By “expressed” I did mean this in terms of the appearance or behavior of the organism. By “better” I meant of survival benefit.
It seems counter-intuitive to me that the appearance or behavior most likely to appear in offspring would be detrimental to its survival, at least if the concept of natural selection is to be believed. I take your word for Huntington’s, but I expect that this dominant/recessive gene phenomena is overall selecting for survival in most instances.
Brown eyes (and skin pigment) may be “better” for survival. Too much Sun may be far worse than too little. Our view of what is “better” may be subjective, but I expect that survival in the natural world is cold and pragmatic.
By “cast in stone” I meant that I thought (guessed) that the gene seen dominantly expressed, say in current man, may not always be so. Your example of the digger/filler is what I was thinking of. Both genes are there and are trying to signal the action they are coded for, but something else in the overall organism makes one more effective than the other. I expect that this can change.
That’s why I posted this. That’s what I understood it to suggest and I was hoping someone with a scientific background would tell me if I was off base. At one point they state that (I’m paraphrasing) the baby could be protected at some point during gestation from this phenomenon taking place .
Learn the English language. -ity denotes a state or condition or essence, not an act.
