I think so as well. It should be open to discuss!

I think ghackney's response below is a good example of how genetics can alter things!

"That is correct. But, you have to look beyond the trees to see the forest! If you look at the human population as a whole they (we) have gotten taller over the last couple hundred years. Why? If there were only one set of rules we all would be average. We evolve to better suit our environment. Now go to some remote village in South America. All the individuals in the hypothetical village will appear the same. Same height,same skin color, hair color, etc... Now, introduce an outside gene from a white/black individual and the offspring would be mixed (average of the 2)Right? This will gradually be removed from the genome if it doesn't help them or No other dominate way to express itself>>>another dose(another outside sourse)...
This is a great topic we need to develope. We need a date base on litters of snakes. Snake genetics are very similar to any other animal and we need to bring all the info. to a central source to be evaluated and dispenced... GL "

Obviously, this is something will take some time and a lot of effort to unravel, but Rome wasn't built in a day either!
