Hybrid speciation & interracial sex

RPM discusses hybrid speciation while agnostic waxes skeptical about the relevance of more symmetry among multiracial humans. The comments on agnostic's posts are interesting as well.

You're right, the comments are... interesting. It seems that gregariousness, self-confidence, clannishness, etc. are genetic, and you can inherit "suspiciousness alleles". That sounds a tad reductionist to me. So, my future triracial children, apart from being fabulously symmetric and beautiful, will probably inherit the "smiling all the time" gene (quite common in Thai populations) from their mother and the "excessively stubborn" gene from me. I just hope that the "high-speed chattering in an incomprehensible language" gene is recessive.
