Re: [Paddlewise] Paul Schurke

Kirk: 

That's amazing.  Any idea what the name of this condition is?

As for Schurke's experiment, I don't dispute that there is a process of
acclimatization, or that there are physiological differences between
populations or individuals descended from racial groups which have had
10,000 years of exposure to a particular climate.  What I suggest is, that
there does not appear to be any scientific articles by Schurke published, or
at least indexed in the scientific literature on the web; no evidence of
controls, and actually not a very "scientific" experiment.  Of course I
could be wrong.  It's just an opinion.  Thus, I'd like to read his
"experiment."

The only article my websearch found was an article by a P. Schurke at
Washington State Univerity
(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?uid=10488145&form=6&db=
m&Dopt=b) on stoichiometry of intermolecular binding sites of protien tubes
in E. choli.
