re: #117 ObdicutIt is a very good example of a gene that is not tied to any particular ‘race’, but will surface in any group that lives in that area for any amount of time.

That may be how modern science looked at it, but in the past Western observers would say something like, “Negroes and Indians are adapted to their harsh environment; white men are not.” Wouldn’t such people be labeled “racists” today?
