Does this mean advanced PC?

Hi Max,

Obviously your professor friends are having a laugh or they are not professors of genetics!
It does not really matter how many virile males are wiped out as the vast majority of women that carry the same genes will survive.
During meiosis chromosomes crossover and mix, the only exceptions to this rule are the X Y pair because the Y has next to nothing on it.
If you looked at my mother's and my father's chromosomes compared to mine, one of the first pair of mine would have areas derived from both chromosomes of my mother's first pair and the other would have areas derived from the both chromosomes of my father's first pair.
It is this continual mixing that produces genetic diversity, if it was just a swapping of chromosomes it would be very boring genetically.
Most children vaguely resemble their parents but this churn can throw some real surprises.
Their argument also ignores that fact that German men suffered terrible losses in WW1 and WW2 but they seem to have recovered and are doing better than the USA and on the whole they look a lot fitter.
The French do have their peculiarities such as raving on about Dalton and the scientific method while being a very superstitious bunch.
They also have a bad habit of saying that they understand the USA because it is a republic like France, it is not like the French  republic at all and they do not understand it that well.
Public discourse is definitely more intelligent than anything found in the USA where dumbed down god bothering seems to be the rule at all levels and you seem to have chosen the stupidest and most incompetent man in the country for President.
But these are all cultural things and can change over time, certainly faster than the genetic make up of the population!

Best wishes,

Georges

Hi Cushions,

You are talking metrosexuals there, we have them in Paris just like the USA has them in New York.
Round here I fit in because I am short but broad shouldered with a beard, I look good in wellies and bleus and I know my way round a fish counter and a pig and the difference between a Merlot and a Cabernet Sauvignon.
If you went in a café round here and ordered a soy latte I think they would pretend you did not exist and ignore you until you left!
Which bit of the UK do you live in?

Best wishes,

Georges

I won't say whom I support politically, but our President has the US economy going gangbusters, outpacing the whole world.  Minority unemployment is the LOWEST ever recorded in the US.   Manufacturing jobs have returned by the tens of thousands.   Police and military morale has skyrocketed.  Drug price reform is not yet completely settled, but moving in the right direction.  The US is now a petroleum EXPORTER, and has excess gasoline, for among the lowest price in the world.   Natural gas is overabundant and very inexpensive.  While it wavers back-and-forth a bit, he will very likely get North Korea to denuclearaize -- something unimaginable three years ago.

His vision of national soverginty is taking firm root in Poland, Hungary, somewhat in Italy, and points elsewhere.

Enjoy Week 19 of Yellow Vest,
