I find the comparisons of physical characteristics simply a fun way to get to know each other's families. It is certainly not meant to show someone's family or type is "superior" as suggested by kgj ("Mein Kampf" comment). But here is something more important that may interest people. My dad (Clarence) had prostrate cancer which wore him down, and he eventually died of complications of a stroke (the cancer would have killed him anyway. It was advanced) Dad's brother Frank Herman also had prostrate cancer, and died of complications from brain cancer. Frank's son, Mark (my cousin) has suffered from prostrate cancer, but is doing well. Clarence and Frank's father, Frank Isaac suffered from prostrate cancer. Frank Isaac's father, Cass, died of certain complications and I wonder if they may have been prostrate related as well. A cancer researcher talked with me about this family history and she said our family was very unusual in having this ongoing "legacy" of prostrate cancer through the generations. Because of this we were included in her research. I am wondering if anyone else has encountered a strange situation as this. And I am hoping this information will bring people's attention this disease. If someone in your family history has or had prostrate cancer, it may be a good idea to have younger generations tested as well. Thanks, Mary :) === Mary C.
