I have much to say on this subject, but I have to go walk my husband. He's 'gone' on the carpet again. Inter-species mating has its downsides!
Been trying to make a PRO-miscegenation argument. He was supposing the study of Swedes and Finns reflected that such populations are less genetically varied and hence the supposition regarding rates of dementia are, as a result, not transitive or comparable to the US population. Essentially he seemed to be supposing that a greater deal of interbreeding might create a greater diathesis for mental disorders.
He sure sounded like an idiot and his nomenclature was off (and offensive), but it does sound as if he making a simple point that the study might not be applicable in other genetic pools, and no conclusion can be made without further study... At least, trying to read through the jibber jabber, that's what i heard.
