    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?

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

    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

    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"
