The paper did discuss adaptations, though in my skim I saw no sign of anything genetically unusual behind them -- afaik they left that open.


I wonder if he has any children, or close relatives.


has a (alive)sister -as per the article


I read the article - the whole thing. But I guess I missed that.

They should test her to see if the adaptation is genetic, and does it affect her as well.


Even bacteria adapt to their diet, so I'd guess that at most his genes got him to want two dozen eggs a day. (I'm not a doctor or a biologist.)


Wasn't trying to say anything about you, just trying to say where I got the info. Also he had one sister who had died.
