Wait a minute. Wouldn't it be more accurate to write the following in the first sentence: "It appears the idea is that if the diversity of the surroundings around the allele is low, then it was recently selected for." Those ten alleles are the same alleles in all three of the major races...

That is a mighty pithy post. You might have completely explained away the mystery to me of the diagram on page 104. Thank you.

Please look at this photograph of a diagram of the results of Pritchard's research. Notice Pritchard found ten regions of the genome that are highly selected in ALL three of the major races. I don't understand this. If a region of the genome is highly selected for in ALL three of the major...

@.Scott @BillTre Based on your posts, it appears to me that I am right about the two step process I described in the OP.

Your post seems to confirm what Scott wrote in post #4 on this thread. Do you agree with everything that Scott wrote on post #4 on this thread?

What is the frame of reference for a normal diversity vs. very little diversity? For Africans, would you just compare the diversity in the DNA region around the allele in Africans to the diversity in the DNA region around the allele in non-African humans? I am surprised someone as seemingly...

I did not think that Pritchard is claiming that there are only 206 genetic regions under selection among Africans. Before you wrote post #2, I kind of figured that what you wrote in post #2 is the case. Is my understanding of the two step process of how Pritchard found 206 genetic regions of...

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A...

But it would clean everything between the clean out and the stack. Yes. Or the perhaps one could feed the snake either way through the clean out.

Yes. The underground layout of my sewer line and water line could be like that. Indeed, I think that the underground layout of my sewer line and water line is probably like that.

You just wrote "city main". You did not write "city sewer main". I am not a plumber, but if the city sewer main is under the street in front of my house, I don't see why it is impossible for the snake to go into the cleanout, and go through the building drain towards the stack, under the house...

When you say, that implies that the city main is on the opposite side of the house, do you mean that that implies that the city sewer main is on the opposite side of the house?

I think so.

Update: the Homeowner's Association for my neighborhood has a facebook group. I asked the members of the facebook group for my neighborhood where the cleanout for the building drain is on their properties, and I got two replies that answered the question (and several other replies that do not...

That's what I suspected. Thank you.
