2) Occam's Razor suggests single causal mechanism of inheritance in 7 traits
3) Treat Mendelian genetics as special case of Hardy-Weinberg Eq and Fisher's 1918 model of quantgen.

What should I tell them if they feel unwelcome because #bundeskanzler believes they are a “problem” for how our cities look? #Stadtbild
