But I am curious as to how those lines came to be drawn at that specific point, since nothing biologically or mentally happens between 17.999 and 18 years of age. Yes, they are somewhat arbitrary. That concession does nothing to help your case. Keep in mind that the designation of 8 as the age of a...

Correction: I never claimed to be an author. I have written no books.

Noted. My apologies. Original post edited.

Never try to talk substance with a guy who “loves you tons” and mutters, “Pep, pep.” Yep...because talking substance around here is insanity, it seems, and attempting to discuss with someone who loves you is akin to dancing with the devil in these here parts. Its a shame to be sure. Just ribbing yo...

Things I’ve learned while lurking on this board: If you were a Mormon in New York in the seventies you’re gonna love you some light cotton. Doctor Scratch has conducted a “half decade” jihad against Daniel Petersen who, in turn, has been a “mopologist” for a “quarter of a century” as he devours the ...

Stem, Please read the original article on the Linzi. (There are two follow up articles on the same subject.) I did. To grossly over-simplify: 1) The population was ethnically Han (to pick a term) at 2500 years ago :: not much Linzi DNA Huh? Even more surprisingly, the three smallest genetic distanc...

As you can see, the Linzi DNA is present in modern Chinese populations. There is no Mideast or European DNA present (nor found in 2500 year-old fossils, such as in this study) in pre-Columbian Americans The results indicate that the genetic backgrounds of the three populations in Linzi are distinct...

When purchasing an SUV, I don't know that the centuty-and-a-half old history of the personal life of the company founder would be a deal breaker for me. But, I can accept that it might be for others. For me, the deal-breaker would be whether, in terms of cost/benefit, the SUV failed to perform as d...

The authors further noted: "the three smallest genetic distances for the 2,500 year-old Linzi population were from the Turkish, Icelander, and Finnish, rather than from the east Asian populations."39 Not only did a 2,500 year-old population with strong European genetic features live in ce...

Please don't bring me into your feud.

I'm not sure the name-calling works, Simon.
