I am yet to see a single post by Gilbert whose object is not to demean or belittle others, by making self-serving bogus assumptions about them. In this thread alone he now has 4 gratuitous and unprovoked posts of this nature.
Ignoring the abusive garbage in his latest post appended below, I would just like to correct the falsehoods that he is propagating. Gilbert's first falsehood is that I did not read what was written on the irrelevant weblink he provided, and by implication, that I am not aware of the original findings in the field of population genetics, a cursory simplified description of which was given on that webpage. The truth is I have written a long string of posts on this subject in this and other Goan forums over the last dozen or so years. My most recent post on this subject was in response to Teotoniobab's invitation to write a summary of Cavalli-Sforza's book entitled "Genes, Peoples and Languages", on Goa Research Net. Here is the link to it, if you can access it: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goa-research-net/message/3104 If you read any of this material, you will notice that despite Gilbert's silly claims, this field has nothing to do with religion. The use of the names Adam and Eve is not appropriate even in the metaphorical sense. Gilbert's second falsehood is that only his wife is the author of the book "Amchi Khobor". The truth is both he and his wife are the authors. Here is a link to a short review of that book by Jose Colaco: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Goa-Goans/message/18438 If Gilbert had agreed to send me that book, I would have paid $5.00 plus postage. I would have also written a more detailed critical review, which I am sure Jose can do as well.
