Scientists discover white skin a genetic mutation

I don't think anyone is denying the article's truth, just its importance.

I think everyone is aware that everyone evolved from East Africa thousands of years ago, and then various mutations and adaptations occurred to make some of us have big ears, some have blue eyes, some have huge feet, some have darker skin, some have more coordination, etc.

But 2005 was a good year for "discovering" this all again. Hopefully someone will get funded to discover this all again in 2012.

....I should write a proposal to the government to make the next researcher be me, so I can get paid for concluding the same thing.

Whyfi-

Let's write a proposal so we can be funded to discover evolution again.

It'll be great.

We will get the our "new results" published and everything.

Like Columbus, I'll claim that my discovery is mine alone, and that no one else has discovered it before me.

Boygabriel-

I bet your present knowledge of evolution is quite sufficient.

...but I predict that this study and the thousands of others studies like it, should be forwarded to the Kansas school board.

They could deny its truth, and we could shake our heads at them.

Then, Whyfi and I could get paid to do another study that reached the same conclusions: Humanity has the same genetic roots.

The fun never ends!

Whyfi-

By the time the government gets around to approving the grant and then paying us to re-prove evolution, your UI will have expired.

You gotta look to the future!

In this case, the future involves looking again at the distant past.

(cool, eh?)

....hey, I wonder if we can collect residuals each time the article is published! ....that would be excellent.

If not, we could just publish it under a new name.

"Whyfi and Whynot's Anthropology Publishing House "

...it has a good ring to it.

Whyfi-

I assumed Nofay was talking about "assuming the position" of Grant Writer and Researcher, so I didn't view it as a threat.

From what I've learned, it actually sounds like a cushy job.

I could just rewrite the same things over and over and sent them to people, all while claiming my research is somehow unique and worth reading, even though it has been known for eons.

I could be good at that.

Whyfi, I bet this gig will pay more than $405 a week!

I don't think there is a point. I'm not in the mood for another argument about race - especially one that has absolutely nothing to do with Brooklyn. Thread closed.
