Hopped on YouTube to catch the tail end of the SotU, because I fell asleep last night, and got these search results:

Check out "Developing News"...

There's pre fertilization compatibility detection where if certain genes don't get expressed in the new dna then the embryo is terminated.

2019-02-06 19:17:06 UTC  

I should say zygote

2019-02-06 19:17:56 UTC  

But can we observe or is there any proof that evolution is occurring. I dont doubt evolution or adaptation exists, I'm just wondering how it can happen. Like if us and chimps have a common ancestor, Why do we have different amounts of chromosomes?

2019-02-06 19:18:38 UTC  

This results in probablistically lower fertility as genetic distance increases. You can observe this in extreme cases of human interacial couples.

2019-02-06 19:19:14 UTC  

Evolution has been observed in bacteria with fast enough reproductive cycle

2019-02-06 19:19:51 UTC  

Did the bacteria turn into non bacteria?

2019-02-06 19:19:57 UTC  

We have different numbers of chromosome, because two ancient ape chromosomes fused to result in human chromosome 2.

2019-02-06 19:20:06 UTC  

Why did SCOTUS not have any reactions to the SOTU? Are they not allowed to?

2019-02-06 19:20:12 UTC  

No but their genetic material increases.

2019-02-06 19:20:51 UTC  

@Chris N. - CA where did those two apes get their chromosomes from? Was there just that much diversity eons ago?

2019-02-06 19:20:56 UTC  

Humans can survive doubling certain chromosomes. For example two Y chromosomes confer some benfits.

2019-02-06 19:21:30 UTC  

Theoretically you couple double the Y chromosome and then have one of them evolve new traits.

2019-02-06 19:21:57 UTC  

This is so out of my realm of knowledge. Fascinating.

2019-02-06 19:22:53 UTC  

Triple X or double Y chromosome people are fascinating study in gender traits. Many double Y end up in prison.

2019-02-06 19:23:46 UTC  

They're hyper aggressive

2019-02-06 19:24:10 UTC  

In another world they might be super men though.

2019-02-06 19:24:36 UTC  

You would think with the massive amount of people we have on the globe, more mutations would be occuring.

2019-02-06 19:24:51 UTC  

I’m at the gym and on one of the TVs it says: Breaking news: Warren listed race as American Indian for Texas bar. 😂

2019-02-06 19:25:15 UTC  

Well they are. Look up occipedal lobe.

2019-02-06 19:25:28 UTC  

I guess we're so artificially dysgenic now, it would be hard to tell if it was beneficial or not.

2019-02-06 19:26:30 UTC  

Autism appears to be linked to a recent genetic trait

2019-02-06 19:27:24 UTC  

@Bogl - CA There has been diversity throughout the span of life on Earth. 99.9% of all species that have ever existed are extinct. To my knowledge, genomes used to be in single circular forms, but they eventually developed into the multiple linear chromosomes we see today. So technically, chimps got their chromosomes from all the way back to their eukaryotic ancestors.

2019-02-06 19:27:52 UTC  

Also, mutations do occur. Look at eye color, for example. Blue eyes are a mutation.

2019-02-06 19:28:09 UTC  

Red hair

2019-02-06 19:28:36 UTC  

Fascinating one because it effects nerve function too

2019-02-06 19:29:00 UTC  

@Perihelion - CA a trait that is more susceptible to brain damage from environmental factors, or has a lower threshold for poisons?

2019-02-06 19:30:07 UTC  

I'm not sure just that they've linked it to presence of a certain gene

2019-02-06 19:30:47 UTC  

Not 100% but it's not actually a single phenomenon

2019-02-06 19:32:01 UTC  

We can see rapid mutation and natural selection of those mutations due to issues like pollution, but mutations tend to be due to a variety of variables.

2019-02-06 19:32:54 UTC  

My power levels have just doubled from getting 6 vaccines today

2019-02-06 19:33:18 UTC  

Hell yeah dude

2019-02-06 19:33:21 UTC  

Silica can chelate aluminum. Fyi

2019-02-06 19:33:45 UTC  

Vaccine starts with a V. You know what else does? Victory

2019-02-06 19:34:02 UTC  

I feel the need to eat soy and vote democrat after those shots

2019-02-06 19:37:36 UTC  

I have a crazy speculative theory that retro viruses are a mechanism for self programming.

2019-02-06 19:37:49 UTC  

Soy and carbs, the true chad diet

2019-02-06 19:38:17 UTC  

@Virgildont forget copious amounts of soda and red red bull

2019-02-06 19:39:34 UTC  

There was a period of my life where Red Bull didn’t even cut it. Had to use caffeine pills.
