Re: Race specific Bomb... [censored] an Afro-gene?????

1. Using the morphology of the skulls of ancient people to tell where might have come from geographically is not the same thing as determining their "race", whatever that means.

2. Define an &quot;average&quot; European or &quot;average&quot; African.


3. What is this gentleman's genotype ?

Race is a social construct, but African is biological real and geographical and thats what the skulls can tell whether one is African or European or other.

Thats easy enough
European is A native inhabitant of Europe and or A person of European descent.

Only a DNA test could answer that, but my bet is that 75% 0f his African genes are being express while most of his European genes or turned off or recessive.

As am I. OMG!!

They can study genetics all they want; there is still no &quot;race gene&quot;.
The best they can do is take tissue from one individual, run the genetics, and create a bomb that will kill exactly ONE individual person. Just one. It's w hole lot cheaper to sent out a Navy SEALS team.
