ge·net·ic (j-ntk) also ge·net·i·cal (—kl)

I looked it up in PubMed, it is indeed used (UK usage?), although it is a synonym for genetic which has the advantage of being shorter, recognized by spell check programs, and not making peoples ears prick up with “?”.

So yes, genetical is a word, and it is sometimes used as a synonym for genetic in science.

However your source still did not define what the heck “genetical richness” was. If he means genetic diversity, well that goes up with any expanding population.

I have to go for an hour or two. I promised my wife I would watch a romantic video entitled “Newton’s Dark Secrets” with her tonight. What a woman!
