heroes and evolution
From an article about rapid human evolution:
For example, Africans have new genes providing resistance to malaria. In Europeans, there is a gene that makes them better able to digest milk as adults. In Asians, there is a gene that makes ear wax more dry.
Africans: Resistance against diseases. Europeans: better digestion of dairy products. Asians: ... dry ear wax? What??
Man, we really got shafted.
