I also read that there was a bottleneck for the Askenazi population during expulsions, pogroms and other niceties of their eventful lives. Seems that we've been interbreeding over and over again. I also read that tay sachs is like sickle cell anemia, which confers an immunity for malaria with an only one mutated gene.Tay sachs confers a superior IQ with an only one mutated gene. It's all fascinating in a weird way. Feels like a screwed up experiment and we are the result of it.
Dang. Does this mean I have to take ScarJo off my list?
