While scientists do not know the exact cause of sexual orientation, they theorize that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences. [1] [2] [3] However, evidence is weak for hypotheses that the post-natal social environment impacts sexual orientation, especially for males. [3]
James V. Neel (1915–2000), US human geneticist who contributed to the development of research on human genetics, and founded the first genetics clinic in the US Frederick C. Neidhardt (1931–2016), US microbiologist, pioneer in molecular physiology and proteomics of E. coli
The following is a list of people who are considered a "father" or "mother" (or "founding father" or "founding mother") of a scientific field.Such people are generally regarded to have made the first significant contributions to and/or delineation of that field; they may also be seen as "a" rather than "the" father or mother of the field.
Looking into the genetic determinants of human sex can have wide-ranging consequences. Scientists have been studying different sex determination systems in fruit flies and animal models to attempt an understanding of how the genetics of sexual differentiation can influence biological processes like reproduction, ageing [24] and disease.
Genetic sequencing of tooth samples laid bare that “Well-man” had a medium skin tone, blue eyes, and light brown or blond hair. And in a twist, his genetics couldn’t be traced to the local ...
He introduced his hypothesis at the Eighth International Congress of Genetics held in 1948 at Stockholm on a topic "The Rate of Mutation of Human Genes". [93] He proposed that genetic disorders in humans living in malaria-endemic regions provided a condition that makes them relatively immune to malarial infections. He formalised the concept in ...
