And still, people in human genetics will bend over backwards to ignore the stories of humanity as well; excluding any notion of history or personality, leaving only the clinical or pathological as acceptable theories or hypotheses.

250,000 years ago, too!

Doesn't sound at all negative to me. There's a lot we don't know, some of which we might eventually figure out!

IMHO, if you're going to make lazy AI stereotypical representations of this paper, you should really commit.

I'm glad my paper could be helpful. Differential maternal provisioning could certainly have contributed. It would be very interesting to better understand the genetic basis for the behavioral differences in maternal care.

I'm delighted you enjoy it. Thanks!

tl;dr

It is indeed! We conclude that these kinds of demographic processes could certainly contribute to the observations, but probably don't explain all of it. I'm very pleased to hear you enjoy our work.

No worries! I appreciate the opportunity to clarify.

We don't assume anything was consensual. The preferences expressed could well have been entirely one-sided.

This is not a figure from our new Science article, but it could've been:

I'm pretty sure you do, you're just too polite to state it explicitly.

He didn't think you meant *adult* children.

I would very much like to have seen a Rob Reiner Batman movie. 😔

Yglesias is a true believer in the game-theory result that in a winner-take-all voting system, the dominant strategy is adopt all of your opponent's positions and tweak one of them a minimally perceptible amount in the direction of popular opinion.

150 years was a good run.

Good writing is also downstream of giving a shit.

Everyone gets the Roy Cohen they deserve.

Dude won't even button his shirt up to go on tv

If I'm undocumented I want a very clear and comprehensive record stating that I love Trump and support all of the actions he's taking on behalf of America God Bless Him.

Is this about Epstein? (Garland? I'm having trouble keeping up. It's been quite a week already.)

There's also a real aspect to it of a drive to become the new gatekeepers of human knowledge. If the only reasonable way to access the collective understanding of *things* is through the oracle, the oracle keepers can make bank!

(maybe even "early modern human")

Pedantic reply: "Early hominins" would be creatures from several million years ago and resemble the common ancestor of chimps and humans. This is a tool from an archaic human. Human geneticists commonly misuse the term.

Hotdogs being dragged through the garden!

Very cool. Any way to tell if the different patterns are related to maternal v. paternal inheritance?

Andreessen's kids could go to any elite school they want. The system has plenty of slop to accommodate the children of the ultra-wealthy. They just don't like minorities.
