East Asian Physical Traits Linked to 35,000-Year-Old Mutation:

The discovery explains a crucial juncture in the evolution of East Asians, and the method used can also be applied to some 400 other sites on the human genome.

Gaining a deep insight into human evolution, researchers have identified a mutation in a critical human gene as the source of several distinctive traits that make East Asians different from other races.

The traits — thicker hair shafts, more sweat glands, characteristically identified teeth and smaller breasts — are the result of a gene mutation that occurred about 35,000 years ago, the researchers have concluded.

The language people speak seems to activate an associated cultural network, and this influences how they think. When bilinguals switch between languages, they are not just bringing different vocabularies and grammars to mind - they seem to be bringing different selves to mind as well.
