Are we morphs?

I was wondering if, in fact, people are morphs? Tall X tall = tall, Attractive people throw attractive offspring, traits like hair, eye and skin color are all proven out.

And if this is true, then somewhere in our past (just like with dogs, BP's, and just about everything else) there was a "Normal Human"!!!

I wonder what they looked like?

ape ppl lol

Well the only way something can be "proven out" is by human control, and in humans it is known as eugenics... :weirdface

The traits we see today are all the result of natural selection. The reason for the wide variety is, I believe, that if a change is neutral it is not selected for or against. You'll need 'Mendel's Balls' to explain it better :)

So the answer is no?

on the note of hot woman X hot guy... i would have to say that the "hot" gene doesnt always pass. I have a family member that is a model ( was a bud girl) and so is her husband, lets just say when my mom ( who loves all babies) saw her kids for the first time she shreeked and said " o god"

Does this mean that an Albino person is more expencive that say me. I'm a BEL..

:O wow... lol

I read somwhere that blue ayes are the homozygous (sp?) form, and green ayes are the het form of that mutation, so I guess we are morphs, and brown is the normal btw...

You can have brown eyes and have blue eyed offspring. ;)

I dated a girl with one Blue eye and one green. *sigh*.

I guess she was a paradox

these are the homozygous forms of some intresting hets:
