Do formidability-linked traits, even indicators/cues (e.g., faces), exhibit greater within sex variance than other traits? I'm thinking about secondary sexual characteristics putatively evolved to support intrasexual selection. Pic related:
Does this study find familiar?
-Afghan children
-soccer/football
-unequal provisioning of trainers/cleats
-conflict
My PI thought it might have been published 20 years ago if that helps.

When has he *not* considered his doings a success. This is almost not even news...
Quick, acute, and recoverable. It's our best hope.
Yep, I meant to US.
And I think you're spot on (as always; see it's good to have some 'ites as friends).
Sorry for the late response. Life has taken my sm habit from me. Missing the chic trains.. oh the infrastructure envy. It's very real, and I'm saying this as someone from the motor city.
Seems incredibly shortsighted [on our part].
You'd know better than I would, but what examples even are there of "superpowers" following an isolationist approach that didn't eventually lead into direct involvement? (The world wars loom large, but that's because I'm a rube)
“The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work...." (Toni Morrison)
Something tells me that a huge whack of White people, who never understood this quotation, are starting to have an aha moment.

Hochdeutsch on the other hand... In case it wasn't confusing enough:
They dug a grave.
This is good:
For starters, there seem to be pretty compelling arguments against the carpentry idea, in particular. For example, the illusion doesn't require the straight lines so characteristic of carpentry. You can get the same effect with curved lines, dots, or even faces. (5/13)
In our paper, Chaz & I zoomed out & evaluated the hypothesis pretty broadly, bringing together diverse lines of evidence from the cognitive sciences. So.. does culture create the Müller-Lyer illusion? We think: "Probably not". Here's a visual summary of our argument. (4/13)
"puberty appears to have occurred between 16 and 17 years of age. For some, full adulthood had been achieved by 17–22 years, similar to the patterns seen in modern wealthy countries and in advance of historic populations living in urbanized environments" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Can dreams help us see memory consolidation as it unfolds in the sleeping brain?
In this new paper, we describe how dreams reactivate multiple memories simultaneously, combining fragments of recent and remote memory in a way that may be adaptive.

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:
1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.

Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.
It's a bummer to see scholars doubling down on deficit-based approaches to psychopathy (e.g., this new theory paper). Psychopathic individuals can have some deficits, sure, but can also exhibit *surfeits* of some traits like inhibitory control and even empathy. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
RFK is going to wreck my JiF. Unforgivable.
People sometimes make fun of science that sounds stupid and random.
Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea
Need bookmarks and a better search function.
Searching among 'people you follow' is.. is just great.
I'd love to see the legalese they use to protect themselves from lawsuits. Especially in contrast to their marketing material.
Relative value (no cool car to offset those crooked teeth)
early adopters of the practice, probably. Also, selected (no pun intended) by dint of them showing up at a clinic.
prob should do this, but it's also not surprising if you are using a donor you *would* focus on h2 traits. Y not? you aren't married to the person.
