Very, very interesting, Bea.We learned something really interesting about both gender resilience and racial resilience when my sister was pregnant with twins.
The doctor told her that twins are almost always somewhat premature in their development, regardless of how long the pregnancy is, because of the shared nutrition and probably other reasons we don't fully understand. Obviously, when babies are premature, some have problems, but some don't. The problems in prematures babies generally involves breathing (the lungs are among the LAST organs to fully develop) and the brain (which continues to develop for another 12 years or so.)
The neonatology specialist said that neonatologists the world over have observed the same phenomena in regards to premature but otherwise healthy babies. The female babies of African descent have the LEAST likelihood of having developmental problems, if ANY. Caucasian female babies are next least likely to have problems. Baby boys of African descent tend to have more problems than either of the female groups and Caucasian boys are the most likely to have problems.
No one has a clear explanation for this, but it is apparently seen over, and over, and over again all over the world.
Happily, my sister's twin boys turned out just fine and are now bright, robust 16-year olds!
Very glad your sister's twins were fine, though twins sounds like all sorts of nightmares to me.
It's probably genetic.
Women are pure XX chromosome, it's the males who are mutations carrying the Y chromosome along with their X.Not pure.
Possibly also the Africans have pure Homo sapiens sapiens genetics while the rest of us have a small percentage of Neanderthal in our DNA.
If Homo sapiens neanderthalensis had problems with development (and they did become extinct), then some of that may have been passed on to the Eurasians.
Just a thought.
Enjoy your lunch, Bea.Off to a lunch date with hubby!!! See yall later!
