genetics

[bobsaget]

I have a couple questions about genetics.
The traits of black hair,brown eyes and a large muscular body points towards which "race" those traits are inherited from? One small strange trait is the crest/bump at the back of the skull. What is it? My mom is full on Celt while my dad has the traits described above,and he is the 'black' sheep of his family. The rest is Celtic. Her genes dominated his but I did retain the skull bump so it must be useful?

Are you referring to the occipital ridge, or something higher up?

Yes that! Thank you .I couldn't give Google enough info on it for me to gather what I needed. :)

If that's the case, you can do a forum search on "occipital ridge" -- that should get you started in terms of your question regarding it.

The "mark of Cain" right? This makes more sense that it would be more prominent on my dad, due to his "dark" nature. It seems as if I am a good mix of the two. I am what the tweaks were made to do: dilute the bloodline. Interesting.
