Re; Disproving my theory (or what, again with this post?)

[Guest guest]

Awhile ago, I posted this little theory, and hoped to get some

feedback on it, for, OR against. Like says, if a statement

is faulty, then talking about it, (debate) will bring that out, and it's

just as well if it can be proven wrong. It has some significance to

me, because much earlier this year I said something similar to it

on another list, and it was somehow seen as " NT bashing " , though

that was not at all my intent. One person went so far as to very

indirectly call me a " bigot " (toward NTs), and it bothered me a great

deal. I do believe there's such a thing as " natural selection " , and it

may favor some traits over others, but in that case, *it* would be

doing the choosing, and not me.

I believe that in 2000 years, a couple of significant changes will

have occurred in the human race. They're happening now.

1. The human race will become much more " homogenous "

than it is now. On the North American continent, for instance,

it would be difficult to categorize anyone as Caucasian, or

Asian, or African, or Latino. Historically, the blending of races

has always had a vitalizing effect on the descendants. This

was the case in ancient Greece, and Rome, and throughout

Europe. Viking blood re-energized France and England, and

these may never have had empires without it. America grew

strong on the mixture of genes and cultures from many nations.

It is only recently that " miscegenation " as a crime has been

taken off the books in some states, and the trend to mix will

increase exponentially from this time forward. Whenever I see

a mixed race couple, I smile, and send them a silent blessing,

hoping they will have many children.

2. Every child born has a different GTAC genome structure than

any person who ever lived. Occasionally, a gene sequence can

be so different as to constitute a " mutation " . Some mutations

are not beneficial to life, are not viable, and are not replicated.

Other mutations are beneficial, and what was not successful in

one age or environment, may be successful in another. I think

that autism is one such mutation, and is on the increase now

because a great many people carry the recessive gene for it, and

though they barely manifest any symptoms, when they marry

similar mates, their progeny have a stronger mixture of it. We

may be the prototypes of coming generations, and as the mixing

continues, the bugs get worked out. It may be that in 2000 years,

the people will categorize " homo sapiens " as just another defunct

species, like " homo robustus " or " homo erectus " . And what would

they call themselves? Homo spiritus?

Just a theory. Have at it.

I have a similar theory, and I believe that it already happened in the

United States once before.

For your consideration: American Indians, Eskimos, Inuit, etc, are purported

to have come from the Asian continent over the Bering land bridge. I have

never been trained to recognize differences, but I cannot tell the

difference between, say a Tulalip Indian (Washington State) or a Tshimtsham

Indian (Southern Alaska). I am hard pressed to say I could see major

differences from Mexican Indians either during the time that I lived in

Texas. I have friends from the Philippines that I could not tell their

facial feature differences from my Inuit friends.

Now with Athabascan Indians I can tell a difference, mostly because they are

HUGE and the others are usually fairly small.

Of course I'm AS, and facial features are not my specialty, are they!

Well, they could be. I can tell generally where an Asian person's ethnic

background is, and perhaps I could expand that. However, it's a rather

useless skill in modern America.
