More Swedish News (short translated article)
The same gene that in certain circumstances increases the risk of alcoholism and anti-social behavior in boys protects girls from the same dangers and vice versa. This surprising discovery has been reported by a group of Swedish researchers.
Their study of a population of 16-19 year olds, gives new hope for treatment of depression and alcoholism. Lars Oreland, a member of the discovery team told a Swedish newspaper; “I dare say that we are on the verge of a revolution.”
LOL! The chocolate lobe should at least be as big as the male sex lobe.
Does that mean Larry Summers can get his job back?
Well, Duh.
Someone had to fund a study to tell them this?
I could have told them this for the same amount of money a lot quicker.
Studies are welfare for scientists but making it look like they're doing something for a living.

Well I'll be damned! I never would have known this!
I guess I'm just out of touch. So you already knew that "the same gene that in certain circumstances increases the risk of alcoholism and anti-social behavior in boys protects girls from the same dangers and vice versa".
ping for another laugh
It takes genetics and other such tools to tell contemporary scientists what the rest of the world has known all along.

This was pretty interesting:
The same gene that in certain circumstances increases the risk of alcoholism and anti-social behavior in boys protects girls from the same dangers and vice versa.
Almost like somebody designed males and females to be the same species while still being opposites.
Kinda makes you go Hmmmm.
(grin)
Uh, duh, yeah. We needed a study for this? We would not have 'needed' this study before the sixties.
I LOVE IT!!! I must show my husband. Very cool.
You'd think that would be pretty obvious, but don't forget that is was scientists who did this study to figure it out. They apparently don't always get the obvious.
As they say, the opposite of progress is congress.
"Boys and girls are basically different."
Except to American politicians and academics.
Nor do they have hair growing on their backs or in their ears...
Nope, but I doi know that females and males are diffent on many, many levels, don't you know that?
