	Amazing what is still being learnt. Mixing DNA has good and not so good effects. We now have to screen all babies in this country for sickle cell which we never used to need to do. It is interesting how we all originate from ancestors in Africa, then dispersed across the world, evolving to adapt to different climates, diets and lives and now we are mixing those diversities in evolution in our DNA together again.
