Looks like some folks have confused the IDoD with some scientific journal! Hey if your want the real deal, watch cnn, fox or what's his name. @#$%. Well Tippy and david with your great first post, BTW are you both any kin of dov?

Jocko Homo -- DEVO
They tell us that
We lost our tails
Evolving up
From little snails
I say it’s all
Just wind in sails
Are we not men?
We are devo!
We’re pinheads now
We are not whole
We’re pinheads all
Jocko homo
Are we not men?
D-e-v-o
Monkey men all
In business suit
Teachers and critics
All dance the poot
Are we not men?
We are devo!
Are we not men?
D-e-v-o
God made man
But he used the monkey to do it
Apes in the plan
We’re all here to prove it
I can walk like an ape
Talk like an ape
I can do what a monkey can do
God made man
But a monkey supplied the glue
We must repeat
O.k. let’s go!

I think that the guy studying this family isn't studying enough, or rather, quite the right thing.

It's no big surprise that a family, particularly one that seems to be, uh, a little more closely genetically linked than most families. I think that's only part of the story.

What would happen if one of the family members with the genetic anomaly were raised in isolation from the family? WOuld they still show the all fours walking behavior, or would they walk upright? Are the skeletal deformities the result of the genetic defect (nature) or are they the consequence of only ever walking on all fours from childhood/infancy (nuture)?

I think the smart money's on nurture.

If someone would give me a sufficiently large research grant, I would be happy to test my hypothesis.

Oh, and I'll need to borrow an infant for a couple of years ... must be genetically sound, as I'll be swapping it for one of their offspring.
