I think incest wasn't a thing early on, when the genes were pure it didn't matter

2018-10-06 13:49:11 UTC  

only after so many generations does it start to matter

2018-10-06 13:49:28 UTC

2018-10-06 13:49:36 UTC  

Nah it's 3am and I'm too tired to argue stuff I did in my degree

2018-10-06 13:49:42 UTC  

Eve came from the Rib of Adam according to the bible

2018-10-06 13:49:47 UTC  

his own DNA

2018-10-06 13:50:02 UTC  

Yeah so she had his exact same genome.

2018-10-06 13:50:11 UTC  

Yet somehow she was female...?

2018-10-06 13:50:38 UTC  

I think GOD can do whatever he wants, including messing with Genes to create what he wants

2018-10-06 13:50:53 UTC  

The second X chromosome usually just deactives irl

2018-10-06 13:50:59 UTC  

The old god of the gaps

2018-10-06 13:51:25 UTC  

But if you have ex machina I suppose anything is possible

2018-10-06 13:51:31 UTC  

like I said, I think whether they shared the same DNA or not, it was pure enough it didn't matter

2018-10-06 13:51:48 UTC  

That's not how DNA works

2018-10-06 13:51:53 UTC  

^

2018-10-06 13:51:57 UTC  

only when we are like leaves on a tree branch, closer at this far from the main trunk does it matter on incest

2018-10-06 13:52:27 UTC  

Thatโ€™s, again, not how DNA works.

2018-10-06 13:52:40 UTC  

two leaves that are too closely related this far from the main trunk is it a bad idea and will create undesirable offspring with bad mutations

2018-10-06 13:52:56 UTC  

lets review what we know, that we know very little, including DNA and how it works

2018-10-06 13:53:16 UTC  

How did the variation that we see in humans come about if there was only 2 people

2018-10-06 13:53:19 UTC  

how long ago did we supposedly map the DNA and what stuff does

2018-10-06 13:53:27 UTC  

Also we know loads about DNA lmao

2018-10-06 13:53:30 UTC  

like 10 or 15 years ago, we really don't know how it works

2018-10-06 13:53:38 UTC  

Uh, no, you know very little about DNA and how it works. Donโ€™t project that lack of knowledge onto all of humanity.

2018-10-06 13:53:52 UTC  

we know very little about DNA

2018-10-06 13:53:59 UTC  

We maped the genome of people in the 90s and we can do it to anyone cheaply now

2018-10-06 13:54:16 UTC  

I can sequence DNA and I'm an idiot

2018-10-06 13:54:25 UTC  

We knew how genes worked before we even knew about the DNA molecule.

2018-10-06 13:55:06 UTC  

we still are advancing in our knowledge

2018-10-06 13:55:39 UTC  

jus because we're advancing, doesn't mean we know very little you know @^Kevin^

2018-10-06 13:55:47 UTC  

We know loads

2018-10-06 13:56:00 UTC  

It's pretty easy to do DNA testing now

2018-10-06 13:56:00 UTC  

lets say you have a pizza

2018-10-06 13:56:19 UTC  

just because you get a slice doesn't mean you understand the whole pizza

2018-10-06 13:56:36 UTC  

but that slice isn't very little

2018-10-06 13:56:37 UTC  

Thatโ€™s a horrible analogy, no offense.

2018-10-06 13:56:41 UTC  

and also terrible analogy

2018-10-06 13:56:43 UTC  

We have the whole pizza because we've sequenced the whole genome

2018-10-06 13:57:06 UTC  

lets presume we know less than a slice of the whole enchilada

2018-10-06 13:57:11 UTC  

why do you think there is so much progress in forensic science?
