The researcher found earlier childbearing and larger families in an isolated population and stipulated a "genetic push."
Now if they identified a gene, and then found the same one in ghetto black populations with the same childbearing patterns, that would be scientifically interesting.
I don’t think you’ll find that in the genome.
There is a biological correlation between the reproductive rate and survival rate of a species. The higher chance that a species will survive, the lower the reproductive rate.
That is why, in the Western nations, the reproductive rate tends to be lower because almost everybody born will make it past the age of 5, whereas in nations with a higher mortality rate, like the the Mid-East and Africa.
We face a terrible erosion in the sciences. There is a drift from the truth or even a search for it. This ‘study’ was really just someone reviewing the birth records. It is a poorly designed experiment, but the headline will carry the day.
We need vouchers so people can escape government schooling.
Exactly! This is no more proof of evolution than the fact that women are now far more likely to have a university degree is evolution. How could something so utterly stupid be taken seriously?
