I'm a little curious... have they said what percentage of humans possess the gene that allows them to operate Ancient tech? Could someone run the numbers and calculate the odds of multiple Ancient-gene-possessing people working on the Stargate Project? It just feels like an awfully big coincidence. But then, I really suck at math. I'm numerically dyslexic.

As far as I know, I don't think there is a percentage, however it does say that only 1 in 16,000 people on Earth can operate the tech. I'm not that good at math to know the answer to that. But divide the population on Earth by 16,000 and you'll get the answer and then down to how many SGC/Atlantis people there are and you'll get the result__

I think that the percent is somewhere around 1 or lower. It can't be very high. Well Jack and Sheppard both have the gene, so that has to be a large coindindent.
Presumably, if the people living in the Peagus galaxy are descendants of the Ancients, then they would have to possess the gene.Dark Helmet: So, Lone Starr, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
Dark Helmet: No, it's not what you think. It's much, much worse!
Col. Sandurz: Prepare for light speed.
Dark Helmet: No, no, light speed is too slow.
Col. Sandurz: Light speed too slow?
Dark Helmet: Yes, we'll have to go right to...Ludicrous speed!
Col. Sandurz:Ludicrous speed! Sir, we've never gone that fast before. I don't think the ship can take it.
Dark Helmet: What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz...CHICKEN?!

Well perhaps the gene also accounts for an above-average intelligence? If the SGC is employing the brightest of the bright, then the Ancient gene could give them a better chance of getting in.
I think though, that it would have to be a coincidence.Dark Helmet: So, Lone Starr, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

Sorry. I know he's smarter than he looks but there's no way you'll convince me he's "above average" unless you lower the standard for "above".
I dunno, just food for thought. Perhaps you need both parents to have the gene to be super-smart? Could explain Einstien.Dark Helmet: So, Lone Starr, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

If all the great thinkers in Earth history get their smarts from a wacky recessive alien gene, I'll probably vomit in pure disgust. I have this thing about alien intervention - or even ancient astronaut intervention - being responsible for everything.
Oh, and the percentage is 0.00625%, as not a single one of my Year 7s could tell you, but give me a week!Behold the majesty that is...GERALD!

Sure, sure. Aliens made us; fine. Aliens are responsible for everything we achieve that was even vaguely worthwhile; that's my problem. It's the archaeologist in me.Behold the majesty that is...GERALD!

So are you saying that you're upset that we are desendants from the Ancients?
I don't think that our great thinkers are the result of alien intervention, I was just throwing an idea out.Dark Helmet: So, Lone Starr, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
