DNA Part II

Basically, in simple language, they cite the existence of a “9 series” DNA configuration in Sub-Saharan Blacks, as opposed to a “6 series” that is predominate among Europeans. Could these differences be responsible for something important?

An online article entitled “How unlocking the secrets of African DNA could change the world”(www.ft.com) states, “The mapping of the entire human genome – a 13-year effort to list all of the roughly 3 billion “letters” that make up a person’s DNA – was completed in 2003.” Further, “but it remains incomplete: nearly 20 years on, the vast majority of it is still European. Genetic material from people of African descent makes up just 2 percent.”

It goes on to say, “African genomes are not only humanity’s oldest but our most diverse, and that diversity holds within an almost unfathomable potential…”

Interestingly, according to this same article, A U.S. official said that the Trump administration wanted to block China’s plans to build an $80 million headquarters for the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, in large part because of Africa’s “vast amounts of genomic data.” Trump and his cohorts believe the Chinese want to steal black DNA.
