Well, from what I know, according to Mendel's law of inheritance, recessive genes come out dominantly of a mated pair one every four offspring, so that one child is going to show recessive genetic traits as 'dominant.' I've actually seen this in a family where both parents are dark haired, eyed, and skinned, but, on each side (unrelated), there was a light haired parent or grandparent. They had exactly four children, 3 girls and 1 boy, and the boy was light skinned and eyed. The 3 girls were all dark haired and such. Isn't that interesting?

Sometimes when I'm out, I love to just sit and watch the DNA, especially parents with kids. It's fascinating, probability is...

I have often thought that I am the result of improbable combination of DNA. I am the tallest one in my close relatives, and most of the not so close. I am even taller than my older brother, and act different than the rest and am more sociable (and I consider myself fairly anti-social, so that should say a LOT, heh)

There was an interesting study in Switzerland I think it was, where they found out that famine can have effects genetically even several generations later... Sometimes I wonder if I came about because my great grandparents went through the Great Depression and bigger DNA was advantageous?
If they'd missed a few less meals, would I look different?
Boggles the mind...

EDIT: Also, I think you'll find most variants religiously here. Devout to Atheist, Buddist to Wiccan, Morman to Mennonite and just about everything in between.

If I were to follow anything, I might follow Ethical Culture, but I don't like to follow, period. I don't really like to lead either...How 'bout I just go stand over....there....somewhere... 'K?

I'm of the belief that Adam and Eve were genetically pure, nothing wrong with them, so incest didn't matter as much back then, plus there weren't a lot of choices. Plus there was no crap in the environment yet, so things just made more sense and everyone was healthier. I don't think it took too long though before things started getting weird though, people have had differences way back in time, they're just more common now.

But if there were two people left I'd discourage them from breeding, just let things end.
