I believe we all vary greatly genetically. Maybe I should have been more explicit. I don't consider skin, eye, hair or color to be anything more than falling in a range. The important thing to note to me is that as humans we all should have eyes, hair, and skin in the right places. Variations in color or expression are due to internal and external environmental factors. If the people below all lived together from birth and ate, exercised, and thought the same and were from the same area geographically as well as their ancestors for say the last 10,000 years they would be very similar. Take a look at places in the world with the least outside influences and you will see a population with even mundane genetic expressions such as eye, hair, and skin color virtually identical. Even in a population with outside influences the offspring exhibit genetic traits because of what they eat, think, and do more than what seems to be random until closer inspection. > Look at our variances in height (midgets and 7'0 giants and everything in between), But they all grow from the same influences just not to the same extent. > hair and skin color (blondes, brunettes, blacks, whites, and everything in >between), They all have hair was my point. Their hair is composed of the same materials. The same physiological process takes place in all individuals for the hair to grow and to be the color it is. > genetic shape (Arnold had a huge chest, Menter's was weak; Nasser >El Sonbaty has weak lats, Dorian Yates' lat spread looked like a total >eclipse). > >Justin Hasselman My point was that they all needed to threaten their existing levels of muscular adaption to grow. The rate at which they responded might differ greatly but they all had the same physiological processes take place. Dave
