Saint Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 More findings on the genetics of IQ A minute particle within a protein allowed humans to become the most intelligent creatures on the planet, say scientists. It holds the key to understanding why our brains are so much bigger and more complex than any other animal, according to new research. It may also explain how its unequalled mental capacity evolved so rapidly and dramatically, a mystery that has baffled researchers for decades. The modern human brain is three times larger in volume than those of the great apes, our closest living relatives. More importantly, its ratio to body size is significantly larger and it has a much greater cerebral cortex, the area that controls higher thought processes, with a higher concentration of neurons. Professor James Sikela, of the University of Colorado, said: 'We wanted to know why. 'The size and cognitive capacity of the human brain sets us apart. But how did that happen? 'This research indicates that what drove the evolutionary expansion of the human brain may well be a specific unit within a protein - called a protein domain - that is far more numerous in humans than other species.' The protein domain issue is known as DUF1220. Humans have more than 270 copies of DUF1220 encoded in their DNA, far more than other species. The closer a species is to humans, the more copies of DUF1220 show up. Chimpanzees have the next highest number, 125. Gorillas have 99, marmosets 30 and mice just one. Prof Sikela said: 'The one over-riding theme that we saw repeatedly was the more copies of DUF1220 in the genome, the bigger the brain. 'And this held true whether we looked at different species or within the human population.' Professor Sikela, whose findings were reported online in The American Journal of Human Genetics, said 'The take home message was brain size may be to a large degree a matter of protein domain dosage. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2189782/Particle-inside-protein-makes-intelligent-creatures.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU4scuba Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 So, your basically saying liberals have a similar problematic chromosome that causes havoc like Downs Syndrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU4scuba Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Oh my bad I didn't mean to belittle down syndrome suffers by comparing them to liberals. So it's a protein issue, Retard thing? I mean I thought they said anal sex couldn't result in pregnancy and birth, but it would explain Woody and the rest of the ass stains around here huh?

RU4scuba Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Give yourself a hand there Woody, right across your filthy liberal mouth. Anyone loan Woody a shovel? He's gone and gotten sand in his crack again... Woody couldn't man up to Kerry Gauthier at a rest stop, silly faggot. Go troll Craigslist for some action you sorry ass liberal and stop shitting in other peoples threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU4scuba Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 So Palin's Retarded kid is a liberal already? No, that apparently only occurs in liberal butt babies.
