Hi John, Rh blood factors are discussed all over the place and at nearly every possible level of complexity. It is a major reproductive health issue for...
Hi, Dale,   Yes, there is a good site at: http://www.dadamo.com/wiki/wiki.pl/Rhesus_(Rh)_Blood_Group      As you can see (or perhaps already know)...
Mike, John, and all: I've just been ignoring and deleting this stuff. However, due to the nature of recent responses about the material in question, I feel...
Dave: I haven't seen the Hawks blog yet, so I can't really comment, other than this paper, FWIW, has more plausible explanations for Neandertal extinction than...
Hi, Anne, Â Â I've thought of asking this several times - would some of the more knowlegeable people here discuss the article on the acceleration of evolution...
Firstly, let me exclude myself from the class of "more knowlegeable people"! However, I wonder if we are making a false assumption that the Late Pleistocene...
Hi, Paul, Well, you have to remember that these are being detected by genome scans. That was one of the things I didn't understand, the dating of the change....
... people"! However, I wonder if we are making a false assumption that the Late Pleistocene "great leap" in technological and artistic matters has to...
I think I have Bednarik's paper, actually. Since they used Aurignacian sites as a marker for modern humans, if they were actually made by Neandertals, they'd...
Dave Timpe (dptimpe@...) has sent you a link to the following page on ScienceDaily: Six North American Sites Hold 12,900-year-old Nanodiamond-rich Soil ...

John: I'm not any more knowledgeable than you are on these things, but it would appear that(according to Hawks) the bigger the population, the more likely such...
Paul: It's true that in the last 200 years or so, the world has changed, profoundly, from anything one might have found in the Upper Paleolithic. It's also...
Hi John, There are a huge number of relatively subtle effects on blood expression and not just from this group of blood alleles, either. Even subtracting...
Dave: I don't have any problem with their methodology if they were trying to compare "modern" humans to Neandertals for the purposes of highlighting any...
Except that their marker for "modern" is Aurignacian, so if moderns didn't produce it, they aren't comparing them with Neandertals, they're comparing two...
Dave: I guess I didn't make myself clear. I didn't have any problem with their using "Aurignacian" in this context as a marker for "modern" humans. But since...
And I'm adding a caveat that Bednarik might be right, in which case there is a methodological flaw. I don't think I'd use Aurignacian as a marker for anything...
Hi John, Increasing numbers of any species spreading into new niches will have less uniform and so less general selective control than stable numbers in stable...

Hi, Dale,  Yes, I follow your argument and a very strong and intriguing one it is. The question I was asking was, can Rh positive and negative be detected...
  Hi, Anne,    I think that what I need to do is read up on how the age of a gene is determined.  Otherwise, i think I've got the idea. Note that...
Anne, Fossils are not going to be a good measurement of hybridization in Paleolithic Europe. The offspring of the crossing of two such closely related types as...
Marc: I was not implying(or at least I don't think I was implying) that your particular post was either racist or spam. I was simply reiterating, that I won't...
