fiercely proud, clan based, mistrustful of outsiders and always inventing names for things. they’re the appellation people.

@greegle_mudzone On here yeh mostly. Specific scenario here is rating publications from others in the department (with scintillating conclusion like ‘ in far away country x education was positively associated with answering more questions on bacteria correctly in our survey’)

@peterrhague they really don’t want to fund basic research. they want to fuss and nudge and pretend it’s all pure values-free science. you eating soy steaks - why that’s impact!

@greegle_mudzone it amounts to the same thing (you just need to make sure lungs work, skin is a barrier, digestive system is working). Some theories (maybe it was the much-criticised Sj gould) centre on the stretching out of development in human compared to other species

@greegle_mudzone I don’t recall that specific convo but just note that a gene duplication specifically would not in some sense ‘need’ to underlie this type of trait ‘improvement’. A gene duplication is, when it happens, likely to be neutral or deleterious like any other mutation. I’ve seen the
