ABSTRACT
This discusses the prospects for understanding the genetic basis of few selected traits in humans. Phylogenetic analysis provides a path to identify genes and biological processes underlying any trait influenced by inheritance. We suggest that different experimental approaches should be undertaken for traits caused by common genetic variants versus those arising from rare genetic variants. We discuss the intellectual foundations of genetic of Mendelian traits in humans by examining the degree of freedom of four particular factors , namely toung rolling (1.307), hitchhiker’s tumb (3.22), widow’s peak (44.825) and mid digital hair (92.825).
