Hmmmmm.....

Maybe it's not so much the "naked" part as the "ugly" part that prevents cancer.

So, maybe we should feel good about ourselves because we are obviously genetically considered not to be ugly and therefore were more prone to getting cancer. :silly: :woohoo:

My guess would be a gene that the naked mole rats have. Not sure I'd want that gene though! :D
