its community to display the most of outwardly percievable dominant characteristics, or most of dominant genes in their genes pool? or is it really impossible to research until the day we mapped ALL the DNAs or genomes that's still in progress? or was that mapping already finished and be done with but i'm the only human who knows nothing about that?

  1. I'm not sure if this quite what you're asking, but darker colors for skin/eyes/hair are dominant over lighter colors. I think of it like with mixing paint- if you mix a darker color with a lighter color, the resulting color will be dark. So what this amounts to is that black people have the dominant genes for skin, hair, and eye color.


  2. No, it doesn't quite work like that. Races do not have more dominant genes than other ones to any significant degree. Certainly, the children of a blond person and an African will not have blond hair, but all of their children will not tend to resemble

    one parent over the other.

    Remember, intraracial variation is greater than interratial variation. Dominant gene distribution is much to complex for something like that to happen.
