science@lemmy.world•Uncovering environmental exposures linked with Alzheimer’s and related dementiasEnglish
11·7 天前Anecdotal evidence doesn’t help you. Observations can find a trend, which can be further studied. The disease is complex, there are likely multiple factors. Think of cancer, some people smoked for decades and never got it, others died young. Doesn’t mean smoking doesn’t cause lung cancer
Boredom. Especially exotic cats like that.
Imagine being in your home with no electronics or books. You might feel like you want to go for a walk, but pacing around the house isn’t doing it for you and outside isn’t an option. A treadmill starts looking pretty good.

9·5 个月前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.

69·5 个月前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

6·7 个月前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.

61·7 个月前Yes, but what specifically are they testing for? Y chromosome, 2 XX chromosomes, or SRY gene. Potentially different results for each option
