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

A lot of herbivores will eat meat when starving or stressed. Or just if the happen upon easily accessible meat. Most animals aren’t confined to only one food source. To be a omnivore, they need to regularly seek out, consume, and digest both plant and animal parts. Wolves eat grass sometimes, but they can’t digest it.

This study is crazy because there are multiple individuals showing this behavior. Not to mention they are actively hunting the voles. Indicating that this behavior wasn’t opportunistic. Which is really cool! Though, a squirrel with the appetite of a shrew sounds terrifying.

I mean there are lots of places like that?

The main issue with any computer is that they can’t adapt to new situations. We can infer and work through new problems. The more variables the more “new” problems. The problem with biology is there isn’t really any hard set rules, there are almost always exceptions. The amount of functional memory and computing power is ridiculous for a computer. Driving works mostly because there are straightforward rules.

I only ment that specific person who wrote that.

Are you sure this isn’t sarcasm?
