I vaguely remember finding quite pleasurable semi-scientific reads in your link section.. What’s up with these links lately?
e.g. (the original shitpiece got hyped in about every major news outlet):
“The Link Between Neanderthal DNA and Depression Risk”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this doesn’t seem to add up to anything but bad science of the genetically deterministic type:
1) Mine genetic data for correlations with certain phenotypes
2) Assume causations from correlations
3) Argue differences in phenotypes represent adaptations
4) Create a hype around your so called scientific study
And: “Are we facing an Alzheimer’s armageddon?” talking about a drop in Alzheimer’s rates that “just missed being statistically significant.”
Then what “drop” are we talking about?
Sorry to say these are simply shitty links..
