If you have kids in USA imo get them out, send them to private school in Madrid or Switzerland, home school them or fight like hell to keep them in a “good college” social biome or their social prospects not great. Horace Mann in NYC is a place of relative virtue now.

@lolzbrah KNM ER 1472 and KNM ER 1481 are two femurs Kenya dated to like 1.9 mya and they both measure about 400 mm corresponding to a stature of over five feet. That’s pretty tall compared to the femur OH 62 from Tanzania with the same date but probably ~370 mm or ~4 feet tall

Jewish femcel who thinks writing about her sexual resentment towards blonde WASP sorority girls is “anthropology”

At moment X is not a free speech site. I don’t think Elon is aware: I think he outsourced it to bad people like Nikita Bier who are betraying the free speech mission. I’ll try show briefly in thread that content bannings and suppression on here is very severe @elonmusk

Chagnon was an amazing scientist with the heart of an adventurer and was slandered his whole life due to the feelings of jealousy and inferiority he evoked in the average academic or missionary. Apparently some otherwise smart people still believe the slander today!

[RAW EGG NATIONALIST @Babygravy9]

And if you don’t read the book, at least watch the 2010 documentary, Secrets of the Tribe, about the Yanomami controversy. I remember watching this while I was studying anthropology at Cambridge. Chagnon’s suggestion that human nature might be Hobbesian rather than Rousseauian caused such outcry within the discipline that his critics found a way to accuse him of genocide during his research in the Amazon. He is, as far as I know, the only anthropologist ever to be accused of genocide. I think Chagnon may very well have fabricated some of his data—especially his data on Yanomami protein-consumption—but even so he was a modern-day Galileo, subject to torture and inquisition simply on the basis of his ideas.

The ethnogenesis of the Ainu people, one of the indigenous ethnic groups of Japan, with deep roots streching back to the Jōmon period hunter-fisher-gatherers of the Japanese archipelago – looking at both genetic and linguistic data (e.g. Juha Janhunen 2018, Sato et al. 2021):

[Daniel Tabin @DanTabin]

What a beautiful figure! Yellow individuals in this pedigree are of Southern European / Roman ancestry while Blue ones are more Northern European / Germanic ancestry (Green being mixed). It is interesting to see both local and non local individuals of both ancestries

@Wind_Drawn Nope not saying anything about history just encouraging people to read the ethnographic record

[h2ner @h2ner]

This except the ethnographic record

[Roman Helmet Guy @romanhelmetguy]

You should study history because human psychology hasn’t changed in the past five thousand years, and the two methods of understanding it today are experiments done on bored college students for class credit or the entire collected record of everything that’s ever happened.

[h2ner @h2ner]

@Wind_Drawn No he says to study history because our psychology hasn’t changed. I’m saying study the ethnographic record because our psychology hasn’t changed (for the most part)

Sorry for the wait, had to find these pretty charts. The more complicated matter is explaining the "forehead" issue.

[h2ner @h2ner]

@Phillip05166897 Great stuff, the brow ridges definitely interfere with appearance of a forehead. And this all shows how necessary PCA is vs the naked eye. Seeing the 1813/1470 cranial vault similarities makes me not care very much about maxilla shape and then height could be sex dim or who knows

[h2ner @h2ner]

@Phillip05166897 Looking forward to it

It has long been observed that different cell types age at different rates and that aging is not a singular process (Wood et al., 1994)

Recent formal modeling has shown why this might occur (Moorad and Ravindran, 2022)

[X Freeze @XFreeze]

Elon Musk says that extending human life and even reversing aging is highly possible

"I've never seen someone with an old left arm and a young right arm ever in my life. That means there must be a synchronizing clock that is synchronizing across 35 trillion cells in your body,"

If our cells are aging in perfect unison, it means aging is driven by a central, coordinated biological mechanism rather than random, subtle decay

"When we figure out what causes aging, I think we'll find it's incredibly obvious it’s not a subtle thing

it's just a solvable engineering problem"
