The process of natural selection occurs at the sperm and egg cell stages. Over time races develop distinct characteristics skin color among others. Lets say neanderthals were black men from Africa whose skin color changed into white in course of a century or so. They also have bridged noses and square jaws. In modern times we have races as white, black, red, yellow and brown. Thus your sperm and egg cells will have these traits that are dominant and recessive. Say brown men live in South East Asia. These are the Malays, Indonesians and ethnic browns. In one hundred million sperms 75 percent will be brown and the sperm count dwindles as you go further back in your lineage. Example: your genealogy traces back to around the world. Your folks have been from the yellow, red, black and white races. These will be your traits. You go on to your honeymoon. You blast the air-conditioner up to 10 degrees Celsius. By doing that those sperms who have the characteristics of those who lived in the cold will have a headstart. Then the sperms race to the woman's womb. Thus the sperm will choose one of the million egg cells most compatible with it. Those receptive to cold weather. My family for example is from the Philippines. My dad is hairy and has a big wide nose. My mom is tall and has a small nose. My older sister is hairy. She's the only one who got that trait. My younger brother the youngest in the family gets my dad's big nose. My nose is okay. My classmate says my nose is flat but it has a bridge. Pango in Filipino. Thats okay she says another classmate of ours is sarat (no bridge).
This week's Culinary Journeys at CNN take us to Cape Town, South Africa where Malay cuisine has thrived.
