Ancient Diseases
…of our ancestors. What she doesn’t note are the modern diseases that aren’t microbial based, but a result of an agricultural diet.
The Elephant Whisperer Is Mourned
…by the elephants. I think that there remain, at least for now, some things beyond the realm of science.
The New Phrenology
Some thoughts on the supposedly broken brains of conservatives, from Andy Ferguson. While what Jon Haidt has been doing is interesting, most of this stuff is junk science.
