According to his DNA sequence, James Watson should be blind,deaf,& have a tiny head. Why doesn’t he?
There are many things you might know about James Watson. That he co-discovered the double helix structure of DNA. That he was the first head of the Human Genome Project. That he kicked up a real shitstorm in 2007 for making nasty comments about the intelligence of Africans. That he has a tongue so sharp that one science historian called him “the Caligula of biology,” someone “given license to say anything that came to his mind and expect to be taken seriously.”
You might not know that—according to his DNA sequence, published in Nature in 2008—Watson by all rights should have been blind, deaf, photophobic, prematurely decrepit, and possibly mentally retarded.
