Question

What is a chromosomal landmark whose inheritance can be tracked?

Answer 1

Answer 2

The solipsistic academe would do well to remember and contemplate that before entry to prestigious colleges was permitted, there were other archives of knowledge, other paths and modes of learning. There is the story each race, nation, culture and civilization has been telling. These are not tales penned by a single self-absorbed individual, but riveting sagas of entire peoples, orally passed down and sanctified by time. To look to these myths and legends with contempt and intellectual condescension is to covet disaster. The tribulations to which they habitually refer were not written in ink or stone, but in blood - blood dead and blood living. They are in our DNA. The human body is the scriptorium where is kept the greatest gnosis. When will the occidental scholar realize that the real Academy, the real Lyceum, the real Library of Alexandria, the real chambers of Thoth, Hermes, or Merlin are not under a rock in some remote wilderness waiting to be discovered by a wanna-be Indiana Jones - they are in the house of bone, the temple of the nine gates - the human body. The famed "Pillars of Hercules" guarding the way to Atlantis are not of stone. They are the arms of Adam-Kad-Amon. They are the serpentine strands of DNA.
