When did I ever say that there is a gene ONLY ONE human has?

Cool

Since there is no gene exclusive to any one human that is not also found in another human...

We all share in the same pool of genes....One Specie - One Genetic race

Not sure about the "specie" part or how that's defined, but us all being human doesn't necessarily mean every human shares the exact same genes any more than it means we all smell the same when we sweat or have the same tastes in food.

One Genetic Specie....We all are Africans

Cool
 

But "cool" doesn't answer my question...lol.

My question was specific: When did I ever say that there is a gene ONLY ONE human has?




Since there is no gene exclusive to any one human that is not also found in another human...
 

But that wasn't and isn't YOUR position.
YOUR position is that all human beings have the same genes.

 


One Genetic Specie....We all are Africans

 

Obviously I don't believe this.
But if YOU do, that's a very interesting belief to hold.

So since you believe "all" are Africans, do you believe ANYBODY can be called an Asian or European?

Yes i will if you can show where i said you said that.....i think it was a question i asked you.

 

Where is the gene that another human does not have?

If another human also has that gene....then the gene is a part of the human gene pool - i have been saying that from start

 

here are two quotes...

What i posted is in red

Posted June 30
People share the same genes....the genes are expressed differently
Again, SOME are shared...some are not.
 
In genetics we do....share in the same genes.
Again, SOME of the genes we share are the same and some are different.
 
 
 
So in other words show the gene that is not shared among (other) humans???

It has been my position....you just did not want to accept it.

We share in the same genes....gene pool

So yes we all have the same genes...

Well then why dont you share what  that gene that gene is that only one human has??

 


Asking me this IMPLIES that this is what I believe.

It's like walking up to somebody and telling them, 
"Well if you got a BMW....then SHOW it to me!"

This implies that the person SAID they had one to begin with.
But if they said nothing about having one, then you're you're producing a "straw man" challenge to them.


 

We share in the same genes....gene pool

So yes we all have the same genes...


Sharing genes from the same "gene pool" is not the same as everyone having the same genes.
I think you know this, but you're trying to play word games.

I do not know how you got that!!!!

It seems to me you are saying all humans do not share the same genes...

If then all humans do not share the same genes..... then show me the gene that all humans do not share?

If there is such a gene then it must be exclusive to only one human being.

No..

Corn is the pool...as in the human gene pool we all share in...

You have many varities of corn Yellow corn Black corn White corn and flint corn all still corn

Popcorn and corn meal and corn chips and corn flakes are all forms of corn from corn still corn

If they are sharing from the same gene pool....then they are the same genes - because other human have them...

Word games are your specialty....

I reserve the right to not respond or answer your response or answer to the folowing statement if you choose to respond or answer the following

Lets break it down....tell me if I am correct in thinking what you are thinking?

HYPOTHETICALLY speaking

 

Here is how I think you are thinking of genes and gene pools

lets say for example that all human genes are made up of all the letters of the alphabet.

Are you are thinking some individuals have the first 4 letters ABCD or the second 6 letters EFGHIJ and some others may Have WXYZ or ABYZ  or ABEFGY meaning that some individuals may then not have CD or WX or some other completely different set and number of  letters of the alphabet?

 

Am I correct in thinking that is how you are thinking Yes or no?
