Dr. James Watson is Himself Part Black & Asian…博士沃森是自己的一部分的Black &亞洲…
Why is it so interesting?為什麼會這樣有趣的呢? Dr. James Watson is a famous American molecular biologist and a Nobel Laureate, best known as one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA.博士沃森是美國著名的分子生物學家和諾貝爾和平獎得主,最有名之一的合作,發現者的結構的DNA 。 He recently provoked a furious public outcry by claiming black Africans were less intelligent than whites.最近他挑起憤怒的公憤,聲稱非洲黑人少,智能高於白人。 It is very likely he had an African great grand-parent.這是很可能他曾是非洲偉大的宏偉家長。
Dr Watson was forced to resign his post as head of a research laboratory in New York shortly after questioning the comparative intelligence of Africans.議員沃森被迫辭職後,他擔任了一個研究實驗室,在紐約後不久,質疑比較情報的非洲人。 In an interview during his recent British book tour, Dr. Watson said he was “inherently gloomy about the prospects for Africa” because “all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really”.在接受記者採訪時,在他最近的英國圖書導覽,博士Watson說,他是“天生悲觀的關於非洲的前景” ,因為“所有我們的社會政策是基於以下事實:他們的情報是一樣的,我們-而所有的測試說並不需要真的“ 。
In a curious twist of fate, an analysis of the genome of James Watson showed that 16 per cent of his genes were likely to have come from a black ancestor of African descent.在一個奇怪的扭曲的命運,分析基因組沃森表明, 16 %的他的基因有可能來自一個黑色的祖先,非洲人後裔。 By contrast, most people of European descent would have no more than 1 per cent.相比之下,大多數人都為歐洲人後裔,不會有1 %以上。
“This level is what you would expect in someone who had a great-grandparent who was African ,” said Kari Stefansson of deCODE Genetics, whose company carried out the analysis. “這個水平是什麼,你會期望在有人了很大的祖父母,他們是非洲 ,說: ”卡里斯特凡松的解碼遺傳學,他們的公司進行分析。 “It was very surprising to get this result for Jim.” “這是非常令人吃驚得到這個結果,為吉姆” 。
In addition to the 16 per cent of his genes which were identified as likely to have come from a black ancestor of African descent, a further 9 per cent were likely to have come from an ancestor of Asian descent.此外,到16 % ,他的基因被確定為可能有來自一個黑色的祖先,非洲人後裔,進一步九%的人可能有來自一個祖先,亞洲後裔。 Source: The Independent資料來源:獨立
While it is shocking to hear such apparent comments on racism from a respected personality, let it not overshadow his immense achievements in discovering the nucleotide base pairs that are the key to the structure and function of DNA.雖然這是令人震驚的聽到這樣的評論顯然對種族主義,從尊重個性,讓它不能掩蓋他取得的巨大成就,在發現核苷酸鹼基對的排列是關鍵的結構和功能的DNA 。 Dr. Watson and Dr. Crick deduced the double helix structure of DNA which they submitted to the journal Nature and was subsequently published on April 25, 1953.博士沃森和克里克博士,推導了雙螺旋結構的DNA ,他們提交給雜誌的性質和隨後發表的1953年4月25日。 Their research forms the foundation of modern biology; genomics, proteomics and stem cell research.他們的研究形式的基礎,現代生物學;基因組學,蛋白質組學和幹細胞研究。 His contribution to science is comparable to Dr. Albert Einstein’s in my humble opinion.他的貢獻,科學是可媲美愛因斯坦博士的在管見。

Interesting post.有趣的職位。 People, whoever they are should be careful when they start comparing people!人,無論他們是誰應該小心,當他們開始比較,人!
