Without attempting to control for it you're not going to know, right? As an example of one isolated mechanism that might make a difference, fish is probably one of the only foods nutritionists almost all agree is healthy, is known to prevent stunting of growth in children, and fish consumption is higher in some cultures than others.
- Zetice 4y agoWe've already more or less entirely ruled out genetics as a factor in cultural diversity, so there's no need to, again, try to control for it here.
- strken 4y agoI have no idea what you're trying to say and don't think genetics as a factor in cultural diversity has anything to do with the point in question. If eating fish makes you taller, and there's a country called Hypotheticalia with a strong north/south cultural divide where North Hypotheticals eat more fish than South Hypotheticals despite being genetically identical, then controlling for culture may change your results. If whatever you wanted to say agrees with this, I agree with it; if it disagrees, I disagree with it.
- Zetice 4y agoYeah, we agree then. I just wanted to make it clear that the racial arguments in explanation of this study aren't going to hold water.
