| - I wonder what´s in it? Human DNA, perhaps? |
The holy grail of science? Researchers claim they found and analyzed Hitler´s DNA. Instead of publishing their findings in a respectable peer-reviewed science journal, they rushed off to a British TV network and made a documentary! LOL. Whatever happened to "publish or perish"? Maybe this will prove to be "broadcast *and* perish". But if it holds up, well...
The DNA analysis supposedly shows that Hitler had a very strong genetic predisposition for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and autism. At least as compared to the modern Danish (sic) population. I assume recent data on the Austrian side of things genetic are unavailable, then? Also, the verified DNA indicate that Hitler never went through puberty or only partially so. There have been persistent rumors for about a century now that Uncle Addie only had one testicle.
Interestingly enough - and much to the dismay, I assume, of many a conspiracy theorist - the DNA test disproved another persistent rumor: that Hitler was actually part-Jewish. But that assumes his Jewish relations were "ethnically" Jewish and originally from the Middle East. I´m sure there are Jews without the Kohanim gene!
Oh, and what about the claim that Adolf had a brothern born in Liverpool who worked in a Dublin bar? Inquiring mindz wantz to know.
Next will be "Trump shares Hitler's DNA" read all about it!
