   Don't you ever get tired of making yourself look silly with this sort of
nonsense?


> OK, so what is your point?

  That you didn't pay attention to what was actually being talked about, and
that the HL - if it was what the OP meant by "look at European royalty" -
doesn't support the OP's contention that harmful genetic disorders are
recessive.
  Additionally, that if he was talking about Charles II's alleged
retardation and impotence, I don't recall reading any real evidence that
those conditions were due to inbreeding rather than to any of the many other
factors which can cause them.

  Of course, if you'd paid attention to my last post, you'd know that.

   My opinion on it is immaterial to the question, which is in regards to
which "European royalty" the OP meant, and the fact that if he meant the
Hapsburgs, the case history doesn't support some of the contentions he made.

  Whether or not I remembered exactly which Charles it was doesn't really
matter; the point is that those conditions weren't necessarily due to
"inbreeding", and are ALSO not, AFIAK, actually linked to the jaw
malformation called "the Hapsburg Lip".

   Any high-school biology student with an IQ above 80 would understand the
following:
 1. That the OP did not specify (nor has he bothered to clarify) what he
meant by "European royalty"- whether he meant the Hapsburgs, the relatives
of Queen Victoria, or some other group.
 2. The difference between a recessive trait and a dominant one.
 3. The fact that part of the OP's original contention was "inbreeding is
bad, because it increases the possibilty of recessive traits being
expressed, and almost all genetic defects are recessive", and that the HL
does not support the contention as regards recessive traits.

   Resorting to attempts to be insulting doesn't help your case, you know.

  BTW, I'd read the material you quoted long ago, and it still doesn't
support the OP's contention in re recessive traits.
