A EUROPEAN GENE ? MUTATION CCR-5-delta-32
|
A European Gene ?

Mutation CCR-5-delta-32
shows North-South Gradation

Modern genetic methods are an objective research path
for checking linguistic and archaeological theories about the origin
and migration of ancient peoples and cultures.
LexiLine strongly supports the position that these modern genetic
methods will give us objective criteria to measure against
subjective academic opinions about ancient human history.
The August 7, 1998, German daily, Die Welt,
contained an article by Susanne Horst
"Zehn Prozent der Europaeer sind vor Aids geschuetzt",
summarizing the genetic findings of the national cancer center
in Chicago as presented by molecular biologist Stephen J. O'Brien.

Human Gene Mutation
CCR-5-delta-32
|
There is apparently a human gene mutation,
"Mutation CCR-5-delta-32",
which makes its holders nearly immune to AIDS,
since this gene has no receptor for AIDS-similar viruses.
Whoever has inherited this gene from BOTH parents
is fairly immune to AIDS. Whoever has inherited this gene
from only ONE parent also has a good deal of immunity.
(The immunity is not perfect in either case, since rare strains
of AIDS can use the receptor CXCR 4).
A gene mutation is generally a matter of chance
and its distribution among the population, according to O'Brien,
reaches only 1 percent at the most.
As the researchers have discovered, however,
"Mutation CCR-5-delta-32" not only is immense in its distribution,
but it also has a distinct north to south distribution,
and, on the evidence of Australia, an "Indo-European" touch.
|
Here is the percentage distribution by country
in percent of 100 percent
of the total population in that one country:
|
Sweden (13.7 percent of all Swedes), Russia (13.6 of all Russians),
Estonia - [near Latvia] (13.3), Poland (13.3), Slovakia (13.3),
Australia (11.8), Great Britain (11.7), Ireland (11.3), Germany (10.8),
Czechoslovakia (10.2), Spain (9.8), Finland (9.1); France (8.9),
Austria (8.9), Denmark (8.3), Albania (8.2), Slovenia (7.7),
Turkey (6.3), Italy (5.5), Azerbaijan - southeast Caucasus (5.0),
Greece (4.4), Uzbekistan (3.4), Mexico (2.4).
|
The following peoples
have ZERO amounts of this gene:
|
Georgians in the Caucasus (0)
(thought to be related to the Basques),
Saudi Arabians (0), Cheyenne Indians (0), Pima Indians (0),
Pueblo Indians (0), Koreans (0) and mainland Chinese (0).
As the Chicago researchers note, this gene mutation
is found only in white Europeans of Caucasian origin
- but not in persons of African, East-Asian or Indian origin.
Anthropologists think that the Caucasians were isolated
circa 200,000 years ago and that the mutation
must have occurred after this time.
According to O'Brien, by tracing the chemical evolution
of this gene back in terms of time, the mutation must be
around 127,500 years old [surely too high].
This is also the period at which some researchers place
the "origin" of "modern" man. Were these the first "Indo-Europeans"??
Indeed, as noted in the article, the north to south distribution
of this gene indicates that the mutation first took place
in northern Europe and then spread south slowly in the course of migrations.

Pharaohs ? Hebrews? Cohens?
|
LexiLine predicts the presence of Mutation CCR-5-delta-32
among the oldest existing Pharaonic mummies
and the remains of royal rulers buried in shaft-tombs.
What is the frequency of this gene among the Hebrews??
What is the frequency among the Cohens - the priests?
There was a study done some time ago that these had
definable genetic similarities differing from the normal
Hebrew population.
LexiLine predicts the frequency will be high.
This genetic finding in Chicago also supports
the Nostratic theory of proto-Indo-European migrations,
north to south as alleged by Bomhard.
