<p>[Are you suggesting there is something in the genetic makeup of Syrian people that makes them different from the rest of the world, or incapable of technological innovation?]</p>
<p>OK, maybe I am not reading this correctly but my interpretation of that comment is that the genetics of biological parents who were grad students made an interesting combination with the adoptive parents who were working class with little higher education (adoptive father was not a high school grad). Could you explain why you think that was critical of Syrians?</p>
