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.

Certainly a case can be made that Western European civilization brought mankind’s greatest advances, but they would never say Hey, this is how we got all those great Europeans!

The science underlying the article is interesting, but for the reporter to make a racist, all encompassing and historically inacurrate statement is just incredible.

It has been known as a biological fact for about 30 years now that all humans are born genetically black, but some of us carry a recessive gene for dilution of melanin, resulting in a lighter skin coloring.

So what’s your problem, aside from being a little slow on the uptake?

Besides, every thinking person knows that liberals/progressives/socialists/marxists are in the top two as causations of strife in the world.

Not liberal self-loathing. Here's an excerpt from another news source back in 2008, introducing The Root, from where this article originates....

The Washington Post launched a new online magazine Monday aimed at a black audience, featuring commentary from leading black writers, along with information on genealogy. Called "The Root," the website is the brain child of Post Chairman Donald Graham and Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.

At least one of those names should be familiar. Not surprised Gates is behind this kind of crap. People like him cause certain words to remain in the American lexicon.

Turns out WE white folks and Chinese and Sa'ami are NOT descended from black folk.

Instead we are descended from the San People, and all the 13 different kinds of black folk are ALSO descended from the San People.

The San developed from earlier humans in SOUTHERN African ~ in the Temperate zone.

They were probably well on their way to trimming up to having light skin down there and then, when they moved North, those who got to Eurasia the first just kept right on changing. Those that stayed in Africa, were moving North into more Tropical climate zones and more direct Sunlight. They turned black!

Modern San have obviously mixed considerably with other African tribes ~ however, Nils Van Der Post and other researchers have hypothesized that the San cannot necessarily create fertile offspring with all other blacks ~ just with some!

There's a situation that involves enough Northern Europeans and the Sa'ami that is of enough concern that it's been studied ~ to little avail.

It's called Indeterminant Infertility. That's where you and somebody else get together and have chilluns. Let's say you have 8 kids. 4 of them will be infertile for no discernible reason. At the same time there are CERTAIN Sa'ami males with what appears to be a workaround for the problem ~ super sperm! The females with indeterminant infertility can sometimes hit if visited by such a man.

No one has studied the situation enough to pin everything down and these days the Sa'ami are sober and monogamous, so that just ruins everybody's research.

Interestingly enough a "related population" still live in the Orkneys, and Charles Darwin, who had a fair number of ancestors from there, married a first-cousin ~ four of their 8 offspring were infertile!

I suspect the San/Bantu breeding problems, to the degree they exist, have something to do with this other system. It's probably far more widespread than we imagine. So, not everything is onesy-twosy, sometimes it onesy-whole buncha' women, and nothing at alsy!

What is the diluting agent for melanin? I want to know what additional substance is inside me. I may withdraw a small portion and study it.

Maybe there's a market for it.

It is a pretty well established fact all people are born right-handed, but only the greatest of us can overcome it and thank God for the evolutionary mutation that made white people or we would still be swinging from the trees.

Melanin content in ocular tissues of both the strains was determined by sodium hydroxide solubilization method. The affinity of celecoxib to synthetic and natural melanin was estimated by co-incubating celecoxib and melanin in isotonic phosphate-buffered saline. The binding affinity (k) and the maximum binding (rmax) for celecoxib to both natural and synthetic melanin were estimated. Suspension of celecoxib (3 mg/rat) was injected periocularly into one eye of Sprague-Dawley (SD, albino) and Brown Norway (BN, pigmented) rats. The animals were euthanatized at the end of 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, or 12 hours after the drug was administered, and celecoxib levels in ocular tissues (sclera, choroid-RPE, retina, vitreous, lens, and cornea) were estimated with an HPLC assay. In addition, celecoxib-poly(lactide) microparticles (750 μg drug/rat) were administered periocularly in SD and BN rats, and celecoxib levels in these eye tissues were assessed on day 8, to determine the effectiveness of the sustained release system.

Thanks for that reply. I can’t count how many different versions I’ve read of how we got where we are as a species. Then, begs the question, what are we evolving into, or, have we stopped? Right now we have white, black and red/Asian humanoids. From each one of those there are transcended types. Is a puzzlement.

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve

in local libraries
Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

Well, of course. I should have known that, already.

That "euthanizing" part is going to hurt my marketing plan.

Just asked my wife. It seems I have stopped.
