The Poisson distribution of radioactive decay is, however, "nature".
Bimodal distributions (eg number of testicles in the general population) are also "nature".
Black-body radiation (whatever distribution it has? anyone?) is also "nature".
EDIT: distribution of intelligence vs fraction of mass on earth is also not normally distributed.
6e24 kg none (not living)
3e15 kg negligible (plant)
1e13 kg low (other animal)
4e11 kg general (human)

- defrost 3y agoI'm not convinced by your testes example, Polyorchidism suggests a third peak (discrete not continuous values to boot) and, again, there will be some that will insist that exceptions are not natural (Holy Diphallia, Batman!) Levity and quibbles aside; thermal equilibriums have an entire extended family of inbred kissin cousin variations .. Black-body is a bit flat and then a bit Poisson like with a K . 1/(exp() - 1) form, but then there's the { Maxwell–Boltzmann, Bose–Einstein, Fermi–Dirac, et al } distributions that suggest an undue amount of unnatural Franken-Stein ing behind the equation shed. I'm happy that the universe is that which we observe it to be rather than that what we wish it to be .. so it's all natural to me.
