Even women can inherit DNA from their many semen depositors. Well, that being said, I would question the quality of the DNA of such skin cream too!

- zxexz 2y agoY'know, if worded differently, without misogynistic overtones, this could have been a good discussion. Please read the guidelines [0]. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- dyauspitr 2y agoI don’t sense any misogyny. Which part are you referring to?
- katzenversteher 2y agoNo who you asked but I believe it's the part about "their many semen depositors"
- zxexz 2y agoYep, and "Even women [...]", as if talking about a a curious subset of an eclectic animal species. Beyond that, the transactional wording! Alien archaeologists have some serious linguistic challenges up their sleeve(s). Sorry you're being downvoted.
- debacle 2y ago> Even women can inherit DNA from their many semen depositors. They can? That paper would interest me.

- zxexz 2y ago"Jury is still" out might be a bit strong. I can come up with dozens of random postulates, but I can't magically conjure up a jury to hear them out.

- malfist 2y agoYou're saying the "jury is still out" and linking an article that says it's not out and the answer is it's all made up
- mikeodds 2y agoFrom the linked article and paper author that’s being referenced: They describe male DNA found in the brains of women in their study as “most likely” from prior pregnancy with a male fetus and do not conclude or mention that women store DNA from males acquired through intercourse. “In our study as well as others done prior, we merely speculate the establishment of microchimerism through intercourse,” Chan told Reuters. “That is, the possibility exists but it has not been tested (or proven, as the lay person may say).

- ted_dunning 2y agoUh, that would be a no. Inheritance doesn't work that way.
- dyauspitr 2y agoIn humans maybe not but my koi group spawn all the time. You can have many different sperm fertilizing the same egg.
- malfist 2y agoDo you refer to your female koi as "women"?
- rsynnott 2y agoThat's not what they're talking about. The OP was referring to a hoax (which they seem to have fallen for), where a fake news site claimed (incorrectly) that a study had claimed that women carried genetic material (long-term) from men they'd had sex with.
- arresin 2y agoSo telegony in humans is totally debunked? Genuinely asking.
- rsynnott 2y agoYou really should be a little more sceptical about what you read.
