Humans do have really low genetic diversity compared to most other organisms. Not as bad cheetahs though!

Yes and no. The selective pressure matters. If the teeth are no longer advantageous they will disappear over a longer time. Think of cave fish that loose their eyes. Eyes are not useful in a cave, and they require extra energy to make and maintain. It’s low selective pressure.
If the teeth were very disadvantageous, and causeing death,they would disappear much quicker. Think of island animals, typically large animals get much smaller than their mainland counterparts. There is less food available for their size. The smaller individuals don’t starve.
High selective pressure, happens much faster.

Not Darwins just evolution. Evolution doesn’t control anything, it just is. This I just as dub as saying gravity won’t control humans because we can fly. It’s still there even if humans fight against it.
Every living is “controlled” by evolution. Adding in gene therapy or artificial selection does not mean evolution goes away


Just an FYI
‘Sorta’ is a slang contraction of ‘sort of’ You don’t need an ‘of’ after ‘sorta’


Inuit people actually had significantly lower heart disease than the rest of the world until recently. Smoking increased in the population along with lifestyle changes.


Eh, I feel like this is a bit misleading. Cortisol is bad for your heart. Unusually high or low temperatures causing stress makes sense. As far as I know people living in the extremes on our planet don’t have worse hearts.

No. A person goes to the doctor before the psychological symptoms get severe.


Yes, but what specifically are they testing for? Y chromosome, 2 XX chromosomes, or SRY gene. Potentially different results for each option


So how are they going to verify an individuals sex?
Would still try to pet. Can’t tell me he is soft and cute and expect anything else

Looks like the books and movies are about to become historically accurate.


How do you trick someone into fighting in a foreign war? Bribery and blackmail but deception?


My first reaction to the headline was “what did he do?” Heh


Long term heavy drinking is really rough on the body. My cousin’s ex husband recently passed away from drinking. She left him because of if and his kids didn’t want much to do with him. He had been sober for a year and was just talking with my cousin about trying to have a relationship with his kids. It was going well. Then he died. It just doesn’t seem worth the risk.


Liver is a weird one. The liver is one of the only organs that can regenerate. Anyone can donate a chunk of their liver. It just regrows after awhile, as well as in the recipient. So livers are better at staying under the radar from the immune system.


I hope they try it. At their age recovering from major surgery will be a breeze. I wish I was on immune suppressants for the rest of my life. Oh and don’t forget another surgery when the organ fails! Sounds like immortality to me

I didn’t know they existed, so that might be a factor too. Need some better advertising
