Word to your mother!

Because if you felt that way about little kids or other men you're expected to keep it in your pants... Somehow because it's women doing the 'temptation', that somehow absolves them from being animals...

Something additional. The power of a punch isn't just the muscularity of the arm and upper body, it pays to have proper grounding and strength through your back and feet, a position which just isn't natural to most hominins, but is to humans through benefit of being bipedal. So it makes sense to me that this would…

Well, I'd say it's a draw between Adventure Time and The Venture Bros. as far as best written animated series. Though to be fair, the only 2012 episode of Venture Bros was the Halloween episode, which was pretty awesome in it's own right.

It's a really relative claim. If one is talking about grammar, English is definitely more complicated than say, the Romance languages, with all it's irregular verbs and alternate pronunciations. Orthographically, it can't really be argued that English is at all intuitive or simple. Being a bastardized mix of…

" And yet the tragic irony of epigenetics is that the same wised-up, more mature parents have had longer to absorb air-borne pollution, endocrine disruptors, pesticides, and herbicides. They may have endured more stress, be it from poverty or overwork or lack of social status. All those assaults on the cells that make…

It's just like how we teach children how to calculate areas of objects or manual factoring (Remember the FOIL method?) before eventually introducing advanced concepts that generalize the whole process like the quadratic formula or basic calculus. Or that we teach subtraction at all instead of just starting with…

And I think if you'd read my comment, my point is that people are all individuals with unique stories and circumstances. Generalizations of that sort aren't helpful, and as you point out, aren't fair and dismiss individual trauma and experience. If that makes you angry, good. it should. Now think it through…

My point is only that this generalization and marginalization happens. I'm not saying it's right. if you think it's wrong, you're totally correct. It's wrong. it's bullshit, but it does happen. If you don't like it, tough. Other minorities have been tilting at that windmill for centuries with no luck. I invite…

"But here's the thing. It's not that your life has been easy, per se, it's just that certain hardships have been absent—hardships that affect other groups in ways that are most likely invisible to you. You're not personally being blamed for anything, nor is anyone asking you to abandon your own interests and concerns.…

That depends, which version did you see? If you watched the American 'happy ending' version, that one is very sloppily edited to the point of travesty and I would highly recommend viewing one of the other versions if possible. If you saw the international or director's cut version and that's where your impression…

Yeah, the whole thing happened because when they were piecing the episode together, the production team realized they had WAY more footage than the aired episode contained, which prompted people to realize that there was, in fact, an extended cut of the episode that had been made, which eventually led back to…

That sounds exactly like what the article was saying. I'm not sure what your issue is, exactly.

"When Theobald accounted for the possibility of horizontal gene transfer (the potential for sharing of genes between organisms in different lineages, a phenomenon believed by many to have been common among early species of bacteria and archaea), the odds of a single-ancestor vs. multi-ancestor scenario skyrocketed to…

I think the bigger takeaway is that, through the emulation of high sensitivity smelling mechanisms like dogs, it could pave the way for us to use a mechanical substitute eventually, which could provide a more conclusive diagnostic tool than some of the other more invasive procedures we currently use.

It's possible, but it's far too early to say. Maybe we've peaked, maybe we're in decline, maybe we have a ways to go. Or perhaps our intelligence will not necessarily decrease, but adapt in different ways in reaction to our reliance on technology and culture. Human civilization just hasn't been around long enough…

Well, and depending on how prevalent or common this is, we may even be looking at people rare enough to be able to monetize the ability, as companies may have to compete to get 'uncontaminated' test subjects.

Exactly. You need a psychologist typically for therapy. Most psychiatrists you can get access too are basically glorified pill pushers who aren't any better than your GP. You can use one to get a firm diagnosis (which some insurance companies require), but beyond that, they usually just refer you to someone else.

Probably not. Most of those innovations didn't arise until Homo Sapiens came onto the scene, and, by then, we had all these adaptations. Until then, it was brute force, cooperation and very crude tools that we used for hunting.

This article gives a pretty good lay explanation for the necessary adaptations and how they applied toward hunting:
