hi doma,

our population is rather larger than that of other primates and we live in many different kinds of environment, so one would expect more challenges and more variations, no? also, inherited variations sometimes turn out to offer alternative benefits (eg sickle cell anemia versus malaria). hence, my reluctance re your use of the word defects.

i take your point that the weird stuff we put in our bodies may create ill effects. we used to be fairly relaxed re x-rays and radiation and that didn't turn out so well. although the stuff i've seen along the way has said not to worry re vaccines.

Hi Alea.....

"A single gene disorder is the result of a single mutated gene. Over 4000 human diseases are caused by single gene defects"

Primates i read,have about 400 single genetic disorders......hence
the multiple of 10.

For instance the Primate's immune system has a response
for cancer,whereas we do not.....where in the evolution chain
did we lose this immune response & why do we suffer from
cancer still today after millions of years of evolving....why did
evolution decide it would be a good idea to take away our
ability to respond to cancer..........?

How did the RH negative factor ever survive in the
chain of evolution?
