“Leaders of the study, at Penn State University, warned against interpreting the finding as a discovery of “the race gene.””
So if you reverse the mutation you get a black guy from a white guy? But not a Negro from a Caucasian?
Well, that oughtta be pretty easy to prove empirically.
Let’s have at it!
But I’m still kinda confused.
If the environment caused the mutation then why did it only happen once?
If an advantage like that was so great then you oughtta have white people popping out like hot buttered every time somebody moves north of Ellicott’s Stone.
But then again maybe geography didn’t cause the mutation. Maybe a Neanderthal and a Cro-Magnon mated after getting drunk and standing too close to a uranium deposit in a tar pit. If you get drink and have a kid after standing near uranium in a tar pit I hear all kinds of funny things can happen. Maybe not a lot of useful things, but somebody is bound to get lucky every now and then, ain’t they?
“a finding that helps solve one of biology’s most enduring mysteries and illuminates one of humanity’s greatest sources of strife.”
But I wanna know one other thing since we’re at it. How come these findings always are in the process of helping to solve one of biology’s most enduring mysteries? Just go ahead and offer the proof positive and let’s get the thing solved already. Help is nice and all, and very optimistic in tone, I’ll grnat that, but solutions really stick when the sticking really counts.
So if it’s all the same to these guys then just go ahead and prove it and let’s be done with it. Then we can move on to solving the polar bear problem and reversing all humans to dark skin to better survive the coming age of Global Warming. (By the way, this discovery will help us survive Global Warming won’t it? I mean it’s just a theory so don’t hold me to it like it’s a fact on the internet or nothing. But a trick like that could come in handy by 2012.)
Okay, your turn again.
And please tell me this mutation is reversible.
I burn easy in the sun, and I don’t care much for sunscreen either. Give me something to work with here, will ya?
As a matter of fact if we can reverse this and patent the sucker then just think of the killing we could make in the cosmetic market! You get the proof and I’ll get the venture capital and we’ll both retire to Argentina.
Get yourself a younger mate...I retired already in 1994.
