Science Friday trivia: The kids' blond hair in that video (1:25) is caused by a recessive gene mutation that is unique to Melanesians, and evolved independently of Europeans blond hair.
You beat me to it. That's some interesting stuff. People out there with DNA related to denisovan man.Science Friday trivia: The kids' blond hair in that video (1:25) is caused by a recessive gene mutation that is unique to Melanesians, and evolved independently of Europeans blond hair.

I can wiggle my nostrils and so can my kidsYou beat me to it. That's some interesting stuff. People out there with DNA related to denisovan man.
The "other" blonde gene is theorized to come from neandertals.You beat me to it. That's some interesting stuff. People out there with DNA related to denisovan man.
The Japanese probably have kava flavored Kit Kats...I must say I am liking this Kava King Cocoa Kava mix. It's a bit heady. Dont get me wrong it is not that strong at all, but it is nice for a quick relaxing moment were I still need my brain cell. Kinda like the Kit Kat of Kavas!
Dang you know those actually look good to me. The Japanese are very serious about their wasabi.The Japanese probably have kava flavored Kit Kats...

Get well soon.Needed this Friday boys, going through some health issues so lots of doctor visits is why I haven't been around. Spending the weekend with someone special. Have a shell for me boys and girls.
This stuff is fascinating. I don't know if it's as simple as "Europeans and Melanisians inherited blond hair from Neanderthals and Denisovans, respectively." It's true that Melanesians have Denisovan DNA. But they also have some Neanderthal DNA. Any modern person not from Africa has some Neanderthal genes, although Europeans have the most. Modern Melanesians have more Denisovan DNA than any other people. But the Denisovans were closely related to the Neanderthals. There is only one actual sample of ancient Denisovan DNA that has been sequenced, and that individual did not have blond hair:The "other" blonde gene is theorized to come from neandertals.
and by other, I mean the European one
I hope you feel better soon!Needed this Friday boys, going through some health issues so lots of doctor visits is why I haven't been around. Spending the weekend with someone special. Have a shell for me boys and girls.
