Sinclair,
I was just talking to Don about the
phenomena of the Scott's mark on history this morning. I believe
that this can be seen among the Jews that escaped from Germany and all the other
places before that. I read that the descendants of these Jews became a
remarkable race through the selection process. Those that were
smartest and had that spirit of preservation got out of Germany right away thus
preserving very intelligent people.
Could the same be said for the
Scotts? Those that were smarter and strongest were the ones that survived
the British, etc. by snatching up whatever opportunity came to leave and
make their mark in life. This would have drained much from the genetic
pool of Scotland perhaps.
As ever,
Laurel
