U.N. condemns "abhorrent" attacks on Tanzania albinos 2013-03-05T19:26:11Z Cases of albinism in ancient Africa would have occurred just as they do today, but they wouldn’t have been frequent enough to significantly alter the gene pool. Getting a Little Racy: On Black Beauty, Evolution, and the Science of Interracial Sex 2011-05-31T12:45:02.517Z Quoted in the UN report, the non-governmental organisation Under the Same Sun estimated that around 71 people with albinism were killed in Tanzania between 2006 and 2012, and 31 survived machete attacks. Albino models setting the trend for Africa 2012-10-27T00:12:23Z There is belief that if you have relations with a girl with albinism, you will cure AIDS.

Crowds overwhelm 'miracle pastor' 2011-03-28T10:22:15Z His lips curled again into the expression that so ill-fitted his albinism. Just Around the Corner Romance en casserole It does not vary so much as most of its kin, but it shows perhaps a greater tendency to albinism than any—as seems natural when its colours are so much paler. The Woodlands Orchids Modelling since the age of 13, she is now the face of the South African fashion chain Legit and tells me albinism used to be viewed negatively but is now becoming more "mainstream". Albino models setting the trend for Africa 2012-10-27T00:12:23Z The other cases of this interesting exhibit show a large variety of birds and animals under conditions of somewhat abnormal variation, in the one case of albinism and the other of melanism. A History of Science, Volume 5(of 5) Aspects Of Recent Science The transmission of diseases such as consumption, madness, and albinism form examples. Was Man Created? I do not mean such varieties as are termed ‘accidental,’ arising from albinism or like circumstances, but every species or variety known to naturalists and acknowledged as ‘permanent.’ Bruin The Grand Bear Hunt We are not aware of any but two of these albinos having ever turned into the perfect Amblystoma form, as happened in Paris in 1870, the albinism being retained. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 1 "Austria, Lower" to "Bacon" People with albinism in parts of East Africa live in fear of their lives The body parts are used in witchcraft medicines or buried underneath businesses in the belief that they bring prosperity. Albino models setting the trend for Africa 2012-10-27T00:12:23Z A Lord Ivywood, an abstraction bloodless to the point of albinism, is at the head of affairs in England. G. K. Chesterton, A Critical Study Everyone must have heard of cases of albinism, prickly skin, hairy bodies, etc., appearing in members of the same family. The World's Greatest Books — Volume 15 — Science These are mere varieties, produced by albinism, and may belong to any of the castes already described. Quadrupeds, What They Are and Where Found A Book of Zoology for Boys Every one must have heard of cases of albinism, prickly skin, hairy bodies, &c., appearing in several members of the same family. On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. (2nd edition) "The more positive portrayals of people with albinism the better; it really helps." Albino models setting the trend for Africa 2012-10-27T00:12:23Z As examples of correlation he advanced such trivial cases as the relation between albinism, deafness and blue eyes in cats, or between the tortoise-shell colour and the female sex. Form and Function A Contribution to the History of Animal Morphology He himself had not yet discovered the “gentility-nonsense,” nor did he ever discover that gentility was of the same family, if it was not an albinism of the same species, as pious and oily respectability. George Borrow The Man and His Books Only a decided tinge of blue in his irises saved him from albinism. The Rules of the Game To them, however, might also be added manifestations of albinism—though I have never seen an absolute albino in Corea—such as, large patches of white hair among the black. Corea or Cho-sen The Land of the Morning Calm The crucial point is that people don't take people with albinism as actual human beings. Albino models setting the trend for Africa 2012-10-27T00:12:23Z Retinitis pigmentosa in known to be strongly inheritable, as is albinism and congenital cataract. Consanguineous Marriages in the American Population In the Natural History Museum in London there are stuffed examples of albinism and melanism in the lower animals. Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine The recessive nature of albinism and its distribution in Mendelian fashion is almost certainly as true for man as for lower forms. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 Absence of the gametic factor or factors for pigmentation results in albinism, and no amount of exposure to light produces pigmentation in albinos, e.g. albino Axolotls which are well known in captivity. Hormones and Heredity "And any girl with albinism who is walking on an international catwalk or even the street with her head held high is a much needed role model." Albino models setting the trend for Africa 2012-10-27T00:12:23Z But here the greater lightness exists in so many cases, to such a degree, and particularly in female sparrows, that it should be discussed, at least in part, under the head of albinism. Scientific American Supplement, No. 363, December 16, 1882 Geoffroy-Saint-Hilaire has noted that albinism can also be a consequence of a pathologic condition having its origin in adverse surroundings, the circumstances of the parents, such as the want of exercise, nourishment, light, etc. Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine Familiar instances of this partial albinism is seen in the domestic breed of Himalayan rabbits. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 His hair and brow were white—not grey with age, but white with the whiteness of albinism—and his eyes were like garnets. The Invisible Man DEVAY, Dr., singular case of albinism. -on the marriage of cousins. -on the effects of close interbreeding. The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication — Volume 2 That so many which lack the muscular strength in their wings should be so generally affected with albinism, is a significant fact to those interested in this phenomenon. Scientific American Supplement, No. 363, December 16, 1882 Partial albinism, necessarily congenital, presenting a piebald appearance, must not be confounded with leukoderma, which is rarely seen in the young and which will be described later. Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine Some animals are wholly pigmented during the summer and autumn, but through the winter and spring they are in the condition of extreme partial albinism and become almost complete albinoes. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 It is certain that the same variation may arise in two distinct places, as with albinism or with the nectarine on peach-trees. More Letters of Charles Darwin — Volume 1 Nevertheless, it may be worth while to give the few cases which I have been able to collect, relating chiefly to colour,—simple albinism and melanism being excluded. The Descent of Man This albinism and weakness, existing simultaneously to such an extent in our young house-sparrows, are evidently the result of their acclimation. Scientific American Supplement, No. 363, December 16, 1882 It differs from albinism in being an acquired deficiency of pigment, not universal and not affecting the eye. Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine The condition of albinism thus assumed as a seasonal variation is never complete, for the eyes at least retain their pigmented state. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 MELANISM.—The opposite of albinism; an undue development of colouring material in the skin and its appendages. The Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection, 6th Edition At every point there appears to be agreement in method of inheritance between albinism and feeble-mindedness. The Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Volume 10 Before we can inquire into the cause and meaning of albinism it will be necessary first to consider the nature Of pigmentation. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 As to the etiology of albinism, there is no known cause of the complete form. Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine Albinism is restricted to no particular class of the animal kingdom; for partial albinism at least is known to occur in Coelentera, worms, Crustacea, Myriapoda, Coleoptera,Arachnida and fishes. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 Such cases suggest that we should be more correct in regarding, not albinism as correlated with constitutional defects, but rather pigmentation as correlated with powers of immunity or increased resistance against certain injurious processes. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 In addition to complete albinism, there exist, however, various albinotic conditions in which more or less pigment may be present. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 In complete human albinoes, albinism is correlated, in addition to nystagmus, with a peculiar roughness of the skin, making it harsh to the touch. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 Such cases are interesting as representing the last step in the graded series through which the condition of complete pigmentation passes into that of complete albinism. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 An albino is a homozygote; that is, all its gametes are carrying the character of albinism and none of them bear the alternative character —the allelomorph—-of pigmentation.
