>As expected, physical activity level, PAL, was greater among Hadza foragers than among Westerners. Within a standard deviation. Higher on average, but not much, and not significantly. No where near enough to exert selection pressure.

You two are wildly speculating. The fact is that none of this greatly influences reproductive fitness, so it is unlikely to be acted on by evolution. The effect is likely just biochemical coincidence. Repair enzymes in one part of the body

Saying human created DNA sequences shouldn't be copyrighted is like saying novels shouldn't be copyrighted because they use the words. In the US at least, case law states that we can't patent natural genes, which is great. Ho
