Maybe they will one day be able to isolate the selfish gene in modern human

Interesting is that they have discovered that genes from Neanderthals have codes to proteins that activate enzymes that degrade RNA viruses. The Neanderthal genes come from a particular haplotype on chromosome 12. But in some people there also exist a haplotype on chromosome 3 that is responsible for being more vulnerable to RNA viruses. So Neanderthal genes may help or worsen the effects of these viruses. The mysteries of evolution slowly being revealed through genetic research!

I also learned while reading this article that Neanderthals mixed with modern Humans in Europe and Asia but not with modern Humans in Africa. Fascinating stuff with mystery and intrigue and possible clues to our connections to tribalism and socialism...

Potential drug for Alzheimer's disease prevention found safe and effective in animals

Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Massachusetts General Hospital have identified a new drug that could prevent Alzheimer's disease by modulating, rather than inhibiting, a key enzyme involved in forming amyloid plaques in the brain. The study, which will be published March 2 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), demonstrates that the drug is safe and effective in rodents and monkeys, paving the way for future clinical trials in humans.
