Humans are about to breed in a new way
Last week, at the American Museum of Technology and Biology, Professor Michael Reimers, Institute of Psychological and Behavioral Genetics, presented the treatise: 'The latest changes are evolutionary in the human genome'.
In his treatise, Professor Reimers admits that there is currently no consensus in the scientific world about the evolution of humanity. People think that human evolution is slowing (in the form of genetic changes), but in contrast, people think that evolution is being accelerated dozens of times.
The two most recent large-scale gene mutations occurred 11,000 and 6,000 years ago. The first one appears to be a light-colored hair gene and a blue eye takes place in Scandinavia, the second triggering the possibility of milk assimilation in adults.
Eliminating bad genes before fertilization is the new breeding method of humans.
Small-scale mutations do not spread and are rarely noticed. According to Professor Michael Reimer, each of us carries many genes mixed together.'About 50-60% of mutations are neutral, 30-40% are harmful, cause diseases and lead to degeneration, only 10% are useful,' he said.
All negative mutations are passed down through generations. But the gene that causes disease accumulates in modern human beings and is complicated.
A few centuries ago, mutations helped humans survive, for example when pandemic, there are always people who are immune, not infected. According to Reimer, humans are currently not threatened by any pandemic.
But we have to deal with seemingly single mutations happening in a harmless strategy but actually, silently and profoundly. Professor Michael Reimer argues that gene technology must work to prevent bad genes. He said that in each gene there existed two versions ' one healthy and one broken. Disaster will occur if both are broken. '
In order for the mutant gene not to be passed down through generations, humans must deliver their sperm (or eggs) to genetics experts to cleanse them from any genes that are considered bad genes before giving fertilization to form embryos in vitro.
Now, according to the professor, people are afraid of adopting this stage, but only 10 years later (at most 20 years) we will have no other method than that. Only then can we create generations of healthy and smart young people.
There is, of course, a risk - Professor Reimer stressed. Perhaps at that time, only certain genes were recognized as 'ideal genes' and people would quickly become . identical.
By the way, this American scientist also gave some interesting facts. For example, he said, the long arm of our ancestors appeared 3 million years ago is also the result of the mutation. At that time, people had not found fire yet, they did not know how to hunt for it to be effective. Instead of not chasing the chamois that run too fast in Africa, our ancestors sought meat left by the lions.
They had to wait for hours, until the beast was fast asleep after being satisfied, daring to "borrow temporarily" the lions that had been eaten by the lions to enjoy themselves. To steal meat, their arms are forced to extend. The mutation is beneficial to adapt to life, the ancestors of humanity have left that trait for descendants of homo sapiens (modern people).
We are not the only human species. At that time there were five very similar primates that turned into humans, but the other four species were extinct just because their arms were short, not mutant to lengthen.
