The researchers discovered that the younger gene is present in around 10 percent of white Americans and 20 percent of black Americans. The team believes that this gene has helped make these individuals look 10 years younger than they actually were.
These findings could help explain how celebrities, such as Hollywood actress Halle Berry, 48, and supermodel Iman, 59, could retain their youthful looks.
"Many of us felt that people with darker skin aged better because of more pigment and better photo [sunlight] protection, but we have found there is much more to it than that," Kimball said.
"They have other characteristics in their skin which confer good ageing, which until now we had no idea about."

Really? I thought Genetic Racism beat out Misogynist Bastards since in order to be a misogynistic bastard, your genetic racism had to be applied first in order to become the latter.
Kind of funny. Rite-Aid Drug Stores check ID's for age on everyone to buy hooch...genetics be danged....I was born in 1942 and look like it...at least close to it. No longer hooch afflicted I watch others who make me look like a teenager pull out their ID. Call it a fail safe method I guess.
