    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

human genetics v/s reptile morhs.

Haha i thought i was the only one. I often compare human genetics to snake genetics when i explain it to people. Kinda helps them understand it a lil better after they look at me weird.
Haha to bad we cant field collect people to get new genetics.
 
Ok. It was not ment racially at all. People do carry leucistic genes and even black and white people can have pie baldism. Even erythristic genes. Like Jonny Winters. I've always though he was super albino but het for leucistic. Lol
 
Like I said - I know it was meant as a joke; but it's a fine line you don't want to cross
 
Looking at this from another perspective, why is it that there are such minor differences between populations of some animals (central american milk snakes come to mind) that warrant each minor variant being assigned subspecific status, yet more apparent differences between "races" of human beings are not treated in the same manner?
 
Very true.I believe nothing or no one can help who are what they are born as. To me snakes are people with out legs. But I guess being that their are so many genetic morphs in reptiles even among the same species and that's probably the same reason that the human species has so many genetic morphs or " races " as the rest 9f the world calls it. It's just the reptiles don't get their feeling hurt by it. But to me it's just interesting because it happens alot through mammals also and that's what makes the world a colorful place
 
I'm poss het for blue eyes since my dad is het but I don't plan to breed to prove out the trait.
:D
 
As a wildlife biologist, there probably is valid biological reasoning behind granting certain races of Homo sapiens subspecies status. However, the social and political implications of biologically separating Homo sapiens into various subspecies would probably be very, very bad.

Biology has, in the past, been used to the point of abuse to try and justify the supremacy of one race over another. For example, "anatomists" in the 1800s tried to "scientifically" prove that whites were superior from blacks, Native Americans, Asians, etc. by using cranial measurements. Ironically, Asians actually "performed better" than caucasians in such measurements, and the line of inquiry was dropped.
 
I've always wondered if the albino gene in humans was recessive. Lately i've seen more albino people around and just want to walk up and ask but unfortunately that could get me fired.
 
Yes, albinism is a recessive trait in animals, even in humans. I am unaware of any form of albinism that is not recessive. Leucism can act as a visual codominant, but is not a form of albinism in itself.
