How is this for a depraved and bankrupt culture? Circumvent the native impulses! Reputation as a good Muslim is more valuable than my worthless whore of a daughter. Be a Muslim! Fucking bitch was asking for it!

The lefty’s doing their utmost to preserve that disgusting culture will call you out if you expose the institution and ideas that…[Read more]

Jake and Reg,

If only the FDA would automatically approve every such innovation from Israeli scientists.

And if only State medical authorities would approve more openings in medical schools so there could be more professionals to perform these wonders.

And if only States would abolish “Certificates Of Need” so that construction of more…[Read more]

Reg,

Somehow that word bespoke escaped my attention until a few weeks ago. The application to medicine is a lot cooler than vain sartorial bs. I read the first two articles already but not the last few.

Can you imagine being the one with ALS or a loved one and discovering there is hope? Just incredible. Hopefully DMD and the other…[Read more]

@jakelafort – There is just no stopping this onslaught of bespoke medical advances. Look at just some of the horrors they have instigated in the last 2 years alone.

Teams from Tel Aviv University, Weizmann Institute of Science and others have identified a micro-RNA molecule that in animal and cell models halts nerve-cell degeneration and even…[Read more]

Zionist scientist continue to lie to us. Apartheid medicine. Genocide science. The devil forms its alliance. Resist to the last the zionist entity. Unlike its myriad Islamic neighbors who are bastions of freedom and devoid of zionism it produces nothing. It must justify itself otherwise the project to annihilate world Jewry will be futile and for…[Read more]

Here are a few things to watch out for in the next few months, with risks seasonally increasing at social gatherings. Be cautious during gatherings, and increase your awareness in the following weeks and months of news about any spread of RSV, more than one type of avian flu, possibly Covid, and possibly (but less likely) measles. The CDC has been…[Read more]

Simon,

Yes, and we’ve wrecked every single one. We can’t compare one species with another to say one is better than the other. Like you say, each is optimised for their environment.

We’ve made progress – but in what kinds of dreadful directions?

By “progress,” I meant in terms of adaptability, the crucial trait for evolution. Of course,…[Read more]

We did not “progress” relative to other apes. When we diverged we “went our separate paths”. But yes, we made progress in the sense that we evolved to live in all of the Earth’s extremes.

Reg,

On the right, Judeo-Christian values are out and Christian nationalism is in.

From the story:

This week, for example, Washington Post columnist Jason Willick looked at how Tucker Carlson has been pointedly criticizing the Hebrew Bible. He’s “shocked by the violence in it, and shocked by the revenge in it, the genocide in it” and empha…

Reg,

Chimps are not frozen in evolutionary time, stuck at a checkpoint on the way to being human. Modern chimps have been evolving for the exact same 6–8 million years since our lineages split from a shared common ancestor. They are not some sort of “old” humans or “failed humans”. They are modern chimpanzees and specialists in their own ecolo…

As I prepared Sunday School this week, I noticed that it had quite a few posts about Christian Nationalism. That got me thinking about how Ireland in the past functioned very much like a Christian Nationalist state, even if that term wasn’t used at the time. Not fascistic Christian Nationalism like the U.S. fringe wants today, but a soft tacit t…[Read more]

Have a great week everyone and a peaceful and pleasant Thanksgiving.

But cooperative breeding, known as ‘alloparenting’, where individuals other than the biological mother help raise offspring did not start with them. Hominins before erectus already had extended childhoods, reduced canines, increased sociality, and group-based foraging, all of which support cooperative care. Homo ere…

Our lineage split from the other apes circa 5–7 million years ago. That’s when the hominin line begins. Homo erectus appears much later, around 1.9 million years ago and evolved in Africa and yes, they were the first major successful wave to leave Africa. I think they first spread in Eurasia.

But cooperative breeding, known as ‘[Read more]

Apparently the first human species to make it out of Africa was Homo erectus, ~2 million years ago, and they were the first species to do cooperative breeding, meaning that a woman could have more than one child at once, because she got help in looking after them.  This meant that human children had longer in which to mature.

The human line must…[Read more]

Notice how dates are pushed back for the earliest fill in the blank? Big Bang. Human migration out of Africa. First humans in the Muricas. Fossils of hominids.

We know that there was a “last common ancestor” (LCA) of chimps/bonobos and humans around 6 million years ago.  I believe the human line got started around 4.5 million years ago.

That’s true.  But what changed was our environment, when theirs didn’t.

So, where we learned to cop…[Read more]

Simon i think you are guilty of the same mindset as the scientists who first heard about Jane’s discovery.

Not at all, I’ve read a lot of Michael Tomasello and Frans de Waal about what chimps and bonobos can and can’t do, and how they behave.  It was Jane Goodall who paved the way for them.
