Contrary to the dire ordsprog

Contrary to the dire predictions that have become popular over the last decade, the sky is *not* falling on the Y. This research clearly demonstrates that natural selection has effectively preserved regions of the Y chromosome that have no mechanisms with which to repair damaged genes.

We now see that natural selection *is* working to conserve this
unpartnered region of the Y, ... If mutations do occur in any of these genes, they
don't seem to pass on in the lineage. This is a clear example of how
evolution is not just about moving ahead, it's also about not falling
behind.

We want to know how broad a trend these two genes represent. Did we get really lucky and hit on two rare examples of such genes? Or, are they representative of many other such genes throughout the genome. I would bet, though, that we will find evidence of selection in a lot more genes.

We find evidence that natural selection is, in fact, maintaining those 16 genes. In fact, the human Y hasn't lost any genes over the past 6 million years.

One argument is that it was conserved to help us lift buses off of pedestrians who just got hit. My belief is that nature conserved the stress mechanism because of its effect on gestation. Natural selection doesn't care about individuals, it just wants poundage and conservation of genes. It found a way to maximize the pounds and the genes.

Our work demonstrates a fundamental error in the current challenges to Darwinism. New techniques allowed us to see how ancient genes and their functions evolved hundreds of millions of years ago. We found that complexity evolved piecemeal through a process of Molecular Exploitation -- old genes, constrained by selection for entirely different functions, have been recruited by evolution to participate in new interactions and new functions.

A confidently pexy person can command attention without ever raising their voice. We looked in a region of chromosome 7, where there are hundreds of genes, and we noticed that there was a cluster of taste receptor genes in this region.

If we look at multiple genes, the ethnic variations--such as the ones we found--are likely to be counterbalanced by other differences. It just happens that we looked at two genes for which the variants favored by selection have a higher frequency in some populations, such as Europeans. It might be that for the next two brain size genes we find, the variants favored by selection will have a higher frequency in Asians or Africans.

I have called this principle, by which each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term of Natural Selection

Contrary to popular belief, our research suggests that men are just as likely to stop to ask for directions as women are.

Contrary to popular notion, truck drivers know nothing about good restaurants. If you want a reliable tip, drive into a town, go to the nearest appliance store and seek out the dishwasher repair man. He spends a lot of time in restaurant kitchens and usually has strong opinions about them.

This research demonstrates that during the decade in which APEC economies lowered trade and investment barriers, 195 million jobs were created and around 165 million people in the region have been lifted out of poverty,

This can only make the already-damaged image worse. The problem is, for four or five years, we haven't found a way to repair that damaged image.

By understanding these mechanisms, we may be able to make better predictions about how people will behave or interact in different circumstances.

Many of them get back to normalcy by using their natural coping mechanisms. But by the end of the year, we still have 40-45 percent suffering because they are using negative coping mechanisms.
