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.

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)
