Sometimes?
Most of the time, it's healthier to be european, hence it's better.

Great, still healing up so taking it kind of easy on here. I just wanted to see what the heathens had to say about the debate They did not disappoint, very long on personal attacks and short on specifics.
Take it easy, and recover well and you'll live a long time with that fixed!
Ah, the debate... personal attacks, moi?

I do not recall that, perhaps it was someone else? I’d be interested in reading it if you still have it even though I think it’s a different issue than the one I am addressing since in higher organisms, up to 90% of all deleterious mutations would be un-selectable.
Actually, it was indeed you... and it was a paper you referenced yourself! I almost forgot about that! look at our exchange back then:
Look at what I also wrote about your 3-5% of genetic mutation every generation:
You also said this just yesterday "90% of all deleterious mutations would be un-selectable."... why?
If a mutation is deleterious, it has an impact on the individual's ability to function and survive.
There are some that only show up at a late stage of life and can be easily passed on, like Parkinson's... but 90%? I'm curious to know where you got that number.
