Taking the last article into consideration for this post, I believe that the mutations in our genes might be related to our industrial expansion and the toxins in the air. Or how many new discovery's have there been with the advance of ships that could sail the oceans. When the humans bottle necked out of Africa, the diseases from around Africa came into play, so genetic drifting and genetic flow had occurred. When we as humans started spread out further and settle in far away lands our bodies might have reacted to the new surroundings and created mutations over time.
ReplyDeleteIn the second article it illustrates us that "The study also confirms massive changes in European agriculture around year 2000 B.C, like the introduction of manuring on large scale.", are there studies that also show how fast or slow this type of massive change had took when the Europeans came to the United States?

ReplyDeleteThe second article says something about the future genetic mutation for future generations. What will happen, or what are they thinking will happen?
