Re: Scientists Find A DNA Change That Accounts For White Skin
The physical differences between caucasians and negroes are more than just color.

Re: Scientists Find A DNA Change That Accounts For White Skin
Someone mentioned the human race beginning in Africa (ID?). If the Garden of Eden was in the general vicinity of what is now Iraq, that puts the beginning of man/woman to the East of Africa. Technical point, true. Picky, yes.
DNA-related traits of people(s) in different parts of the world would tend to argue in favor of Evolution - it seems to me. Adaptation to environment? I'm just asking. I'm not stating a case for or jumping in on either side.

Re: Scientists Find A DNA Change That Accounts For White Skin
What gene is common to most speakers of English that makes them entirely unable to spell "rhythm?"

Usually referred to as "the-gene-that-occasionally-tempts-one-to-plant- an-error-in-a-post-that-causes-pompous-asses-to-make-snotty-replies." As you can see, it's quite effective. <ul type="square">  [/list]

Re: Scientists Find A DNA Change That Accounts For White Skin
Actually Nut4Dawgs, I think you have proved your idiocy in so many venues that no one should be charitable enough to consider it an intentional "mistake." Nope. You are just stupid.

Re: Scientists Find A DNA Change That Accounts For White Skin
Does this mean that a "pure" white couple can fertilize an egg have a black gene spliced in and produce a black skinned baby? And of course, said baby would have Missy Elliots dance moves, Michael Jordan's ability to drive to the hoop, and Miles Davis' ability to juxtapose notes. Virually no chance of being a brilliant mathematician but an excellent chance of dying by lethal injection .

Re: Scientists Find A DNA Change That Accounts For White Skin
Exactly ACPlayer,
Thank you for fleshing out the exciting implications of this entirely stale biology story! Don't tell our resident neo-eugenicists though, they might get ideas.

There is no such thing as race. White skin is just a genetic mutation. What are the implications for this discovery? [/ QUOTE ]Welcome to, like, 60 friggin years ago. Funny, the last time I posted on these forums I made a thread about race being strictly a social concept. Here I am again, and this is on top. Weird.
