Front-Loaded Genetic Variation & Phenotypic Diversity

I would like to know what traits @PDPrice thinks this “best” genome carried. I picked eye colour, skin tone and height because these are fairly obvious traits that everyone has, and which (today) carry advantages and disadvantages depending on environment. Under GE, all extant eye colours, skin tones and heights must be ‘degraded’ variations on the ancestral “best” genome, so it seems fairly straightforward and reasonable to ask what the eye colour, skin tone and height were of the individual or individuals carrying this first, ‘best’ genome.

Since I linked above rather than quoting you, please see my OP for a response, ICYMI the first time. And then please stop stating this. It’s off topic in the other thread.

Obviously I’m of the opinion this is part of the overall model. GE doesn’t make sense without it.
