Re: The Desi Gene Pool
Re: The Desi Gene Pool
I'm going to have to strongly disagree with you man. Pakistan and subcontinent for that matter is one of the least mixed places on the planet. Yes we have kashmiris, sindhis, balochis, punjabis etc, but I wouldn't personally consider these as being ethnically diverse enough to stand out. Also, I believe its not really a common sight to see these groups produce some cute inter-racial babies anyway so that part of the argument still stands. Especially pathans with anyone else. It happens, yes. Common? Definitely not.
Just to be clear, I do mean gene pool in terms different genetic characteristics. All desis have certain genetic predispositions which are present in all of the races in the subcontinent. Yes they speak different languages, eat different types of food and have different social norms, but I personally don't they are varied enough to be counted as a completely different race altogether. I will say that pathans are definitely more ethnically diverse than sindhis, punjabis and urdu speakers.
I think you need to understand the difference between genotype and phenotype. Also you are conflating race, ethnicity, and genotype -- I have yet to hear anyone describe the Pakistan/Subcontinent as one of the least mixed places on the planet -- your statement has no scientific basis.
Similarly, not all "interracial" babies are cute, nor can you say that "same race" babies can't be beautiful. What are these "genetic predispositions that are present in all races of the subcontinent"?
