Scientists Find DNA Change Accounting for White Skin (White People "Greatest Cause of Strife"!)
Washington Post ^ | 1/28/11 | Rick Weiss

Posted on 01/30/2011 5:47:11 PM PST by Williams

Scientists said yesterday that they have discovered a tiny genetic mutation that largely explains the first appearance of white skin in humans tens of thousands of years ago, a finding that helps solve one of biology's most enduring mysteries and illuminates one of humanity's greatest sources of strife.

The work suggests that the skin-whitening mutation occurred by chance in a single individual after the first human exodus from Africa, when all people were brown-skinned.

I reject that premise entirely. There were multiple species of hominids. Why not multiple variations of early humans with varied pigmentation.

Prove it with real science...

"Greatest Cause of Strife"

They can kiss my white "mutant" ass.

So the washington compost is now planting the seed that white skin is a mutation.

You see here the result of an education system that identifies white people as the source of all trouble in the world.

They never heard of the troubles between Japan-China-Korea-Vietnam. Missed the Moors invading Europe. Didn’t notice Africa as a place of constant war and strife.

These idiots actually think the emergence of white skin is what caused problems in the World! If only all people were non-white, I’m sure there would never have been any wars, empires, etc. /s

That pretty much settles it, when will the eradication of those trouble making white bastards begin? /s Just incredible.

Okay - well how come there are black looking whites? Just 35,000 years ago? So how did the facial features come to be different?

Can I file for disability because I'm a mutant?

I think I will apply to SSA and see what happens.

If any of those liberals have a problem with having white skin, I suggest they remove it. Let’s see how that works out for them...

The Nation of Islam is way ahead of them--they figured out decades ago that the white race was created by Yakub. See The Autobiography of Malcolm X for details.

Well....all I have to say is that all the un mutants had better rejoice that the mutant gene happened..

..since a good portion of the world advances and most all human freedom was perpetrated by mutant white people..

..no brag..

..just facts

The story says the specific gene was found.

The evolutionary adaptation that produced reduced melanin to promote health in northern latitudes has long been known. The mutated gene causing that adaptation has now been specifically determined

Get a load of the Washington Post's take on white people.

The reactions to the article are far more amusing than the article itself.

I think it more likely, the “greatest source of strife” refers to strife related to “differences” in skin color, and does not target whites as the source of strife.

LOL (1) First, did you REALLY believe ANYONE in the Media or “Pop Science” would give Caucasians any kind of “evolutionary” benefit of the doubt? (2) In their way of thinking — remember, they’re DARWINIAN EVOLUTIONISTS — if Caucasians are the result of the most RECENT “mutation” to adapt, it logically follows that they are somehow “the fittest.” NOTE: I DIDN’T SAY THAT — DARWIN SAID THAT!!! I think it’s a heap a ——... (3) How arrogant does everyone (here or elsewhere) have to be to think THEIR race was created FIRST?! It’s far more likely that the first people were actually from Mesopotamia — and were olive skinned, perhaps Semitic.... Not white, not black. But NONE of us — NOR those scientists KNOW. That simple...

I kinda thought “fear of starvation” was the biggest cause of strife followed by “don’t steal my woman”.
