[quote=AngelRho]Before I get too far into this, maybe someone can help me out on a matter of definition. When I studied evolution "back in the day," my understanding of Darwinist theory was that natural selection impacted, among other things, who lived and who died. Another poster established that "...

Well at least an apology did eventually arrive. A technical problem in your argument AngelRho is both Downs and Turners are unaffected by natural selection. In both cases the fault lies in the reproductive event of gamete production (the sperm and the egg) it's the number of chromosomes not the actu...

It is appalling. You're taking me quite out of context. Natural selection would suggest that weak members of a species would be naturally culled. There are some species of animals that have been known to abandon their young. I've personally seen birds pushed out of a nest for no reason that I could...

AngelRho is quite right in saying we don't know the...

Interesting comments. What we all should remember is that this is a SELECTION process, a trait will be selected in or out depending on it's relative advantage for the reproduction of the species' DNA. A trait may provide an advantage over those without it and the individual survives to reproduce; th...

Hiya gestalt, I would agree genetically the jury is pretty much back in now thank goodness. However I would have to agree to disagree with you that there is a tendency for it to be more a 'male' condition. There are plenty of us girlies out there too! The girls and women tend not to present the sam...

If the jury is still out then they are fiddling their expenses - in my mind there is no question that the range of conditions is anything other than genetically determined and that there are a number of chromosomes responsible (or a number of points on a single chromosome). It's clear from reading a...
