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?

2018-10-06 13:57:22 UTC  

it's because DNA evidence is considered one of the most reliable

2018-10-06 13:57:35 UTC  

I don't think you understand the complexity of DNA

2018-10-06 13:57:44 UTC  

I do

2018-10-06 13:57:46 UTC  

You don't

2018-10-06 13:57:51 UTC  

I'm a programmer

2018-10-06 13:57:58 UTC  

and?

2018-10-06 13:57:58 UTC  

lets presume DNA is a program

2018-10-06 13:58:05 UTC  

complex program to make stuff

2018-10-06 13:58:07 UTC  

I'm a biologist

2018-10-06 13:58:50 UTC  

I'm not sure what you think was mapped, but we don't understand how a person is made from DNA from the little mapping we did

2018-10-06 13:59:06 UTC  

We mailed the whole thing

2018-10-06 13:59:14 UTC  

sure we can say how one gene in the DNA sequence can be the cause of one thing, but we don't understand how the whole thing works together

2018-10-06 13:59:15 UTC  

Who doesnโ€™t understand that? All of humanity, or just you?

2018-10-06 13:59:17 UTC  

Mapped

2018-10-06 13:59:23 UTC  

BS

2018-10-06 13:59:40 UTC  

its like mapping the world when you think its a globe
