Well, today I was enlightened in my Biological Anthropology class. We are discussing what causes variation in different generations of a family. It just happens that we got into a discussion of which traits are dominant and which are recessive. My professor gave us the following examples of traits that are dominant, yet less common than their alternate recessive trait.

• Wooly hair
• Widow's peak
• Dimples
• six fingers
• Ear pits

All of those traits are statistically the minority traits. According to what knowledge I possess that means that most people have a homologous recessive gene for these traits.
