I want to read more mid 20th century hard SF with this kind of art on the cover where the characters smoke and are mean to women (while lamenting the latter)
Edit: and everyone is sending video telegrams and the internet and social media haven’t been invented and the ultimate fate of the galaxy is a roman-style empire with jealous rogue generals in remote “corners”
I’m guessing it’s more of the latter. I really only know about human animals, but we probably make about 50-100 cancerous cells daily (I’m making up the number). Any one of those can become real Cancer^TM if left alone, but our immune system is so efficient at finding and killing these that cancers really only succeed once they have enough good camouflage to masquerade as normal non cancer cells and fool the immune system until it’s too late. That’s why transplant patients and people with autoimmune diseases are at higher risk of cancer (since they are on immunosuppressants) and boosting the immune system is an effective anti cancer therapy.
That being said honestly I doubt the immune system is hunting down tiny mutations in eggs/sperm or committing entire animal-level suicide after they are successfully fertilized but it’s just that it’s a harsh environment and they are perfectly evolved to survive there. Any deviation from that perfect form is just so much less fit for survival that their genes never get passed on. And other animals will eventually just become crabs. Like sharks. Every ocean will evolve crabs and sharks.

Again, this was written by Frank Herbert with a TON of straight up Arabic in their names, speech, vocabulary. Why TF would he write a bunch of Jews to be speaking Arabic, the language of their arch nemeses?
I do agree it is a little weird for a bunch of desert people on a desert planet to be white, would’ve expected a bit more melanin in their skin, but that’s just white chauvanism in general not specifically Jewish.
I think you are just overlaying a lot of your personal experiences on some pictures which sure may have been influenced by Israel.
However the source material which has been out for decades could not have been more clear that the entire race of people is explicitly descendants of current day Arabs. Again, the exact opposite of the Jews.
