@Santtu_61 @cmconseils Is that Salmiakki?
@atis @cmconseils Yes, something that Darwin knew being there before Adam and Eve
punIssuer@cmconseils to be fair, the idea this represents is itself a rather crude abstraction of how it really works. I'm not sure one can say they understand genetics if they know/understand that
Fritz leck Eier 🎗️@cmconseils that is funny and wrong at the same time. 😁
Stuart Longland (VK4MSL)@cmconseils It ignores dominant and recessive genes, which is how we get black sheep… but it's a close approximation.
Lauri Kuparinen 🇪🇺@cmconseils Over 20 years ago in high school I struggled hard with genetics in biology. I wish I had seen this image back then!
MimiWhen I see this powerful explanation, I can't avoid to recall this other genetic map:
which shows the part of Neandertal (blue bars) and Denisova (red) human species in the Sapiens 22 chromosomes pairs.
The scale at upper right corner spreads from the yellow 0% of both (aka the sapiens purebreed) to the purple 3% dots on the world map. This showing crystal-clearly that the genuine sapiens pure breed is in South Africa, that our only "pure breed" is made of blacks only, and all which claims otherwise is pure false fascist propaganda bullshit: the true "invaders" are white, since then.

BenjaminK@cmconseils I'll keep this handy to show to those who have children so they can leave a legacy behind and are against adoption. Makes it very clear how quickly your genes get diluted out into the general population.
Marianne@BenjaminKlein @cmconseils this is a terrible, unfunny joke, yes? You are not a gross person like this in isolation makes you sound... Right?
Nini@noodlemaz @BenjaminKlein @cmconseils Sounds like they're saying folk who are both against adoption and also hold their genes as somehow sacred will be shown this to prove their genealogy would be impure anyway unless they're into inbreeding so adoption would be better.

Agree. I think the statement was misunderstood because of how the first sentence is constructed. Also got me at first before I read the following sentence.
@noodlemaz @cmconseils I've read what I wrote a few times, not sure exactly how you read it? I'll try restate it.
I've met people who have children because they want to leave part of themselves behind when they die. I find that problematic. I think children are their own persons, and don't exist for the parents. Not to live out parents unfulfilled dreams nor as vessels for their genes. This picture illustrates how quickly our unique gene combination mixes out.
Problematic?
@BenjaminKlein @cmconseils ah I see. What came across to me was that your genes are super important so people should avoid adoption (and marrying eg other races...) to make sure their genetic legacy continues.
So yeah, sounded way more dodge than you'd meant it.

Absolutely! Sometimes starting simple is the best way to understand genetics before diving into the chaos . I also think Mastodon is great for broadening my knowledge in so many different areas.

CavyherdMy first guinea pig was an all black female. I told my parents I wanted to get a white male and breed gray babies.
Parents: "It doesn't work that way."
Guinea pigs: numerous lovely gray and gray & white babies.
