"This may reassure those to those who hate the idea that genes are destiny but it should dismay all of us who had hoped that genetic information would allow diseases to be reliably anticipated and prevented."

What if your “bad” feelings aren’t bad at all, but evolution’s way of protecting you? Shame, anxiety, and sadness may hurt - but they can also heal. @randynesse.bsky.social has written about this in his brilliant book: “Good Reasons for Feeling Bad.” #DanielaSieff #ShameHealing #TraumaHealing

Fascinating, clear study of an adaptive allele of MUC19, encoding a mucin glycoprotein, that originated in Denisovans, introgressed through Neanderthals, and found at ~35% in native Americans. The allele has extra VNTR plus 9 NS SNPs. Adaptive immune trait still 🤷🏻‍♂️ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
