That's a really interesting question.

I wonder if anyone also knows about how the heat might affect food preserved in jars or canning containers or just regular canned foods?

I think to myself that the foods can not be preserved, in that type of heat, they would just cook in the can, eh?

Fufu

I still have not figured out exactly what the big glob of flour is about. I haven't tasted it since I was a child. Maybe I should give it another chance.

But I'm scared.

Chinani,

I thought it was this sentence that caused the confusion. It is badly worded.

""The work also reveals for the first time that Asians owe their relatively light skin to different mutations. That means that light skin arose independently at least twice in human evolution, in each case affecting populations with the facial and other traits that today are commonly regarded as the hallmarks of Caucasian and Asian races.""

The confusion comes from the fact that generally all scientists dispute the fact that there is a biological basis for race.

So while attempting to be politically correct and not directly say that Asians or Caucasians are a SPECIFIC race.

The writer made a very long sentence to try to talk about facial and other traits of commonly regarded hallmarks of asians and caucasions.

If not for political correctness the sentence could read quite simply:

Light skin rose independently for the white and asian race.

It is unscientific to think of one gene controlling matters that would relate to size of lips, type of hair, color of eyes and color of skin. It doesn't work that way.

Anyways, check the last sentence of paragraph 3 and paragraph 5 on the first page of article. You will see that if you take the badly misworded sentence the way you have. The whole article basically makes no sense. Why not call it the gene for white hair? OR white nose shape?

I think you can agree that the wording was just confusing.

Chinani,

Nice link Drusilla. My favorite part was on page 1:
"The work also reveals for the first time that Asians owe their relatively light skin to different mutations. That means that light skin arose independently at least twice in human evolution, in each case affecting populations with the facial and other traits that today are commonly regarded as the hallmarks of Caucasian and Asian races."

Because I personally think that if "light" skin is "new" in so much as it "rose" in humans after dark skin, then it "rose" independtly many times (<2) times. Anyhow, it's interesting stuff.

Right. You picked up on that. This is why above I have the Leucistic Albino posted and the white albino posted.

Two separate evolutions for the Indian/Chinese and the white people.

Two different type of African Albinos.

But I don't see where it stated that albino people can only have "albino" or white skinned children?

To be an Albino both of your skin genes inherited from your parents must be recessive. So an Albino has no normal genes to pass on. 2 Albinos therefore can only have Albinos.

Here is a link to the fact that Albinos only carry recessive genes.

About 1 in 70 people carries a gene for OCA. Suppose a man and a woman each carry an altered copy of the same gene and have normal coloration. They each have a normal copy and an albinism copy of the gene, and will pass one of these two copies when they conceive a baby. They each have a 1 in 2 chance of passing on the albinism copy of the gene to their baby. As a result, for each pregnancy there is a 1 in 4 chance (1/2 x 1/2) that their baby will get two copies of the gene for albinism, in which case the baby will have no normal blueprint for making pigment, and will have albinism. http://albinism.med.umn.edu/facts.htm#how

(((Do you understand that if a ----A baby with no normal blueprint (an Albino) can not mate with another baby with no normal blueprint (an Albino) and expect to pass on a normal pigment. ----?)))

And - the reason I marked some of it in red - let's not forget "albino" people, only have white skin, blue eyes (whatever) not "White" features. . .For this reason, "albino" people are not the forefathers of Europeans, in respect to the article, b/c the article & scientists say that the pigment change was correlated to the change in physical features which is not evidenced in albinos.

Could you please post here the sentence that said it is related to physical features? I think that  bad wording of something that was said, may have made you think this is what the scientist said. I can not be sure unless I see where exactly in the article you think the scientists are saying this one gene is responsible for facial features, hair type, etc, etc.

This one gene is only responsible for part of the skin color change, not everything different about whites.

Also certain features that are supposed to be white and certain features that are supposed to be African have been disputed by people before. In particular the idea that only whites have Aquiline noses as they say, high cheekbones, etc.

Do only the Chinese have slanted eyes?


https://i5.tinypic.com/14e2c08.jpg

Do only whites have slim noses and 'nordic' faces?


Other things that are different about whites, are the same differences in Albino's.

Albinos are born smaller and weaker. So thus are whites born smaller and weaker. Thus their smaller parts are probably due to Albinoism, nothing special about them.

mamaput,

Greed is a large part of a white education.

Why do you think that every American school child is made to learn about and celebrate Columbus day?

Does his morals matter?

No.

Does the fact that he slaughtered so many people matter?

No.

Does the fact that the man stole other people's land matter?

No.

What matters?

The fact that the man delivered the goods that Europeans were greedy for.

Greed being the highest priority of African leaders.

That should be no surprise after an white education.

mamaput,

What you have said is exactly my point.

When Africans had an African Education before whites came, the educated served a good purpose for Africans.

Now that they have a white education, it serves whites.

For all the good that white education has done Africa.

Africa would be better off burning down the schools and forgetting about white education.

Corruption? White Educated Africans.
Neo-Colonialism? White Educated Africans.

Every bad policy in Africa is carried out by white educated Africans.

President Jerry Rawlings?

Dropped out of white schools. They said that he was not smart enough for them.

Ghana -- Jerry Rawlings Country? Best economy of Black Africa.

His policy -- screw the west. The people first.

His presidency? Put W.E.B. Dubois and Kwame Nkrumah on memorials.

Both Afrocentric Pan-Africanists.

Compare the difference between those with white education and no education in Africa.

It is obvious that a white education hurts Africa more than it helps.

Chinani,

That picture comes from a medical site. They were examining partial albino's. Leucistic Albino's. They actually have a sample of that Africans blood and were showing the picture with the blood, to show the result of partial albinoism.

People get mad if you steal their bandwidth, so I just upload it from my personal collection of pictures and not directly from their website.

Scientifically, 2 Albinos can only have Albino children. That's a medical fact.

Here is a link to a scientific article talking about the gene for white skin.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/15/AR2005121501728.html

Make sure to read both pages, because the scientific information is mostly on the second page.

If you want, then when I get back we can discuss it and why it proves what the doctor said.

Food4tot,

The Inuits (esckimo's) show that Black people do not turn white from getting cold.

Babies are born white for the same reason that a body turns white if a person drowns in the lake. Their living in liquid.

2cantango,

Don't be so racist.

Mrlawng is Black and he has a white education.

So whatever your race, it can happen.

Have a good day.

mrlawng,

Thank you.

Have a good day.

mrlawng,

Go and reread your first post to me.

It gave credit to the whiteman for what the Blackman has done.

It suggested ignorance as a solution.

It included talk of a slave/victim mentality.

If you think this is the way to start an intellectual discussion, your white education has miseducated you in more than one way.

2cantango,

Only things that deal with people must include a discussion of racial things.

Outside of people, it is unneccessary.

Don't confuse being educated with having a white education.

mrlawng,

A white education is an education that gives you a mind so small and slavish to anything white that you walk around trying to convince Blacks to be grateful for the whiteman for using the computer that Blackmen have given you.

You are exhibit A.

Dr. Carlson did not come on this message board and say such an idiotic thing, you did.

Don't try to call on him now that you done stuck your foot in your mouth.

School is over, you are dismissed.

(I might scare people away if I show them black on black violence, this early in the day.)

Have a good day.

Talk about IGNORANT!

df%%@^@#$#@_(*$+()

mrlawng,

I am African American. You show that you have been educated by the whiteman.

You do not realize that the Computer was invented in part by an African American.

And you do not realize that a Nigerian is the one who made the Internet work right.

You actually think you are sitting here using the whiteman's stuff.

Proving my point. A white education has you feeling grateful to the whiteman for using what the Blackman has given you.

food4tot,

You must be smart. Because it sounds like you have never read the ISIS PAPERS.

Which is a book by a Black Psychologist, Dr. Francis Cress Welsing.

Showing how whites are rejected Albinos. This is why they have a need to be in our house (africa) and to force us to live with them (slaves).

The rejection is ingrained in them.

Da theory is that a long time ago,

Albinos were given to the witch doctors (whathaveyou) and since scientifically 2 Albinos can only breed other Albinos.

The albinos grew up together in witchdoctors house and they married and that is where whites come from.

At some point due to the sun burning them up and the community rejecting them, they left Africa on a request to find a place that was better for them.

Finally they found Europe, which with it's deep forests and caves, was perfect for them.

Hero,

I am African American.  

I think it is rather immature as a whole to think African Americans should get in this fight about who is from this tribe or that tribe.

We should be sharing the silver lining of our experience in America: That we are the most united Black people on earth with Continental Africans.

Not falling into their petty ideas of who is this or that tribe.

Except on a personal level. It may be fun for an African American to at least imagine or in some cases know which tribe of Black people they are from.

I however would hate to see African Americans get involved with these tribal politics.

We have transcended tribalism for the most part. We need to cling to that African American culture, rather than descend into the hell that some say Nigeria and other African areas have become by not realizing the simple fact that they are all Blackmen.

This is our gift to Africa. We need to give it. It is the cure for everything that ails Africa.

I protest your posts simply because as a person with more than a small interest in African American history, what your saying is not what is commonly taught about African Americans.

Actually those Nigerian Children who cheat on the exam.

Should be made the president and leaders of Nigeria.

Because they in fact show that they understand the white education they have been given  better than the ones who did not cheat!

''Get to the top even if you have no morals.'' Those children have learned exactly what they were supposed to learn!

Africans can have all the whiteman's education they want. What has it done for them?

Not a damn thing.

Still at the bottom. And everybody predicting that Africa is going even lower.

Education is not an unbiased system. It is built for a community, by a community.

Africans are educated in a system built by whites to serve whites and their still serving them.

The whiteman has Educated people chasing their own tail.

1 out of 20 Africans carry the gene to have Albino children.

This is how Africans brought all these various races into existence.

Here is a picture of a YELLOW albino:

This is EVOLUTION. The idea that whites have that Black people turn white from being cold, has been proven false, over and over.

Yet whites hate the idea that Africans in fact are the Superseed of the world, that they cling to what has been proven false.
