1. Red Hair Among Jews?
Answer to Quora Query:
I'm interested in finding out the instances of red hair among the Jewish people. Red hair, blue eyes and red hair, green eyes specifically? Any information about these physical traits in the Jewish population would be greatly appreciated.

Brit-Am Reply:
These are recessive genes. They occur much more often where BOTH parents have these traits. Among Jews red hair is not uncommon. Neither is it predominant. It may be accompanied by brown or by blue or green eyes, It is however common enough to be taken for granted and not considered unusual. It is found both among Ashkenazic and Sephardic groups. Recently I attended a wedding of 'Yerushalayimim' i.e. Jerushalemites. These are Ultra-Orthodox Jews mainly descended from Jews who came to Israel before the Zionist arrival. They tend to intermarry mainly (but not exclusively) within their own group. The wedding was with a partition, men on one side, women on the other. Out of about 300 male guests more than half had full read beards. The others had hair-coloring that could be red or dark-reddish or reddish-blond.

2. So-called "Evolution" is sometimes Pre-Programmed Adaptation!
Brit-Am Note:
The significance of the article linked below is that it presupposes that all a changes are the result of Evolution, This leads to far-fetched conclusions.
The obvious conclusion should be that the possibility exists of certain -preprogrammed changes are optionally available to the organism, cf. grasshoppers versus locusts,

Mysterious virus-like 'Obelisks' found in the human gut and mouth
By Nicoletta Lanese
Scientists have uncovered a unique group of virus-like entities in the human gut and mouth.

Extracts:
Scientists have uncovered a never-before-seen class of virus-like entities hiding in the human gut and mouth, and these "viroids" may influence the gene activity within the human microbiome, Science reported.
The researchers confirmed one host for these viroids, namely, a common bacterium found in the mouth called Streptococcus sanguinis. They've yet to confirm additional hosts, but they suspect at least a fraction are bacteria.
Viroids are tiny loops of RNA, a genetic cousin of DNA, and they've been found to infect primarily plants, such as potatoes. Viroids differ from larger, RNA-based viruses in several ways. First, they're naked, lacking the protective shells that viruses use to hold their genetic material. Second, their RNA doesn't contain instructions to build proteins; whereas viruses carry instructions for their outer shells and for certain enzymes they need to replicate, viroids co-opt these enzymes from their hosts.
Although viroids were once thought to infect only plants, recent studies suggest they may infect additional hosts, such as animals, fungi or bacteria. In the new study, researchers searched for possible viroids among the genes of microbes that reside in the human body.
In a report published Jan. 21 to the preprint database bioRxiv, the team introduced "Obelisks," a newly named class of viroid they discovered in the human gut and mouth. In all, they identified nearly 29,960 examples of the viroids.
They named them Obelisks because the viroids' secondary structure , a 3D shape they assume by folding onto themselves, is predicted to look like a thin rod.
Using previously published data, the researchers combed through readouts of gene activity in different microbial communities within the body. These gene-activity summaries are known as "metatranscriptomes."
They found that Obelisks were present in roughly 7% of the metatranscriptomes from human feces. These stool samples give a snapshot of gene activity in the gut microbiome. The team also found the newly named viroids in 17 out of 32, or about 53%, of the mouth metatranscriptomes they screened.
