Finally, genetic evidence supporting the BOM?
Of course this is a cougarguard exclusive.
Article in New York Times looking at brain size, as determined by certains versions of 2 genes.

They report that with microcephalin, a new allele arose about 37,000 years ago, although it could have appeared as early as 60,000 or as late as 14,000 years ago. Some 70 percent or more of people in most European and East Asian populations carry this allele of the gene, as do 100 percent of those in three South American Indian populations, but the allele is much rarer in most sub-Saharan Africans.

Of course, this proves absolutely nothing, but it certainly is intriguing, that perhaps these tribes have a unique genetic signature????? This maybe how false faith-promoting stories start, I'm afraid. :) |
