I mean for hundreds of years we thought brains of black people were physically structured differently. Humanity has been guessing at what’s right and has been critically incorrect through out most of history.
I have to fight them off constantly due to their managers forcing them to upsell. I have to grab my two knuckle buster tasers, arms outstretched, and spin ferociously until they back away fearing my impressive RPM.
“These lines are only visible in those with a mosaic[1][2][3] skin condition or in chimeras where different cell lines contain different genes.” So yeah click bait article
Have you considered that maybe they are visible in the UV spectrum? Cats can see different frequencies that humans can’t see. The Wikipedia article does not confirm nor deny this.
It’s true for half the species. Women have those stripes. Each cell of a woman’s body only needs one active copy of the X chromosome, so when they’re very young each cell will turn off a copy at random. Each cell that cell divides into will have the same copy turned off, so patterns develop. Those patterns of cells absorb and reflect UV light differently based on which copy is turned off. If you can see in UV light, women are stripey.
Edit to add: after further reading it appears that men have Blaschko’s lines too, although more faintly. If so, the X-inactivation explanation is wrong, or at least incomplete.
Well if an animal sees different electromagnetic radiation frequencies than we do then it’s possible that our complexion would appear different (and maybe in some manner of pattern) to said animal versus a human. It’s possible our melanin responds in patterns that are noticeable under other em frequencies outside of what our eyes perceive as light. I imagine this could be tested with equipment sensitive to em bands outside human visual perception.
