3252: Ancestral Genomes
| Ancestral Genomes |
 Title text: SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH: No further research is needed as it is frankly none of our business. |

In this comic, Megan and Cueball researched for a certain genotype. However, upon finding the genotype is spread through sexual intercourse, they immediately discarded their research and left the project alone - Not for obvious reasons like the project being too risky, expensive or pointless to continue, but to 'give the people some privacy', and not intrude on their private life. This would make refers to people's discomfort round sexual intercourse, only with this being extended to not learning about the genotype at all just because of the link - What the offscreen voice points out.
The title text has more of their efforts, doing a proposal for 'future research' as to not bother, and not stick our nose in it.

- [Cueball and Megan are shown, with Megan using a pointer stick to point to a diagram against a wall.]
- Megan: Our admixture analysis showed that these genotypes arose in the ancestral population almost entirely through sexual intercourse.
- Megan: Upon realizing this, we of course promptly deleted all our data.
- Off-screen voice: What? Why??
- Megan: We're not weirdos!
- Megan: Jeez, give these people some privacy!

I'm expecting some reference to the revelation of Neandthalic/etc genes in various branches of our own population, along the way, but shall leave the actual writing to others. 81.179.199.253 18:15, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
