FOUR degrees of separation.
Do your friends visit your
pharmacy? Then the next person
you dispense for could be your
fourth cousin, apparently.
Research out of the University
of California has found that your
friends probably have a similar
genetic structure to your own
genotype at the level of your
fourth cousins.
Certain genotypes are also
negatively correlated (heterophilic
as opposed to positively
correlated, or homophillic) in
friends down to specific systems.
For example, the olfactory
gene set is homophillic while the
immune set is heterophillic, the
study revealed.
So on your next encounter with
your friends, you can assert that
they are what the authors term
your “functional kin”.

I SEE the problem, sir.
If someone comes into your
pharmacy demanding a refund
for deodorant that doesn’t work,
check they’ve removed the
protective plastic first.
Scott Romine from Arkansas
didn’t, and got his son to record a
negative review of the deodorant,
which he said he had found
useless after a week of use,
when he realised his mistake, the
Telegraph reported.
And yep, despite his dad’s pleas,
Romine’s son uploaded the video
to YouTube - view it HERE.
