There are many genetic diseases that protect a "carrier" but will sicken or destroy someone who has a pair of the mutated genes.

The best known example is the Sickle Cell trait. Carriers of the sickle cell trait have a demonstrated resistance to malaria. Malaria is a horrible disease which still kills millions each year.

Another genetic disease is Cystic Fibrosis. Carriers of CF have an immunity to Cholera, a disease which was known as the "black plague" in some parts of Europe because the dehydration turned the victim's skin black.

A mutation on the gene which architects the CD4 receptor conveys total immunity to the AIDS virus.

I think it's very very interesting that there may be a mutation that conveys higher types of intelligence and that it emerged in response to bigoted social policies that forbade Jews from owning land.

Before some of you run off crying to the moderator you might want to read over the following facts....

Jews who do not have ancestry from Europe, who are not "ashkenazim", do not perform any better on standard IQ tests than their gentile neighbors.

Jews who lived in Europe during the Medieval period were shut out of making a living. They could not own land. So rather than starve they entered an occupation that allowed them to flourish. Those who earned a better living could have more children. This effect is identical to the effects of other genetic diseases whose carriers benefit and pass on their mutation to descendants.

I certainly do not think that Jews "deserve" Tay Sachs or the other horrible diseases that children who recieve the mutation from both parents acquire.

As far as the "greedy rich Jews" stereotype - I guess unlike many of you I've lived alongside of Jews for most of my life. I work for a Jewish man. I know the limits of the prejudice and I know the realities.

Some of you, apparently, are hypersensitive to this topic. Why I do not know.

Ain't about "selective breeding" or Eugenics, but about how people are shaped by their environments.

To me the most interesting topic of discussion is what other traits are out there which are not known but which could benefit people? Humans are evolving at a very rapid rate and there are more of us than at any other time in history.

What else is "out there" in the wild, unknown and possibly beneficial?
