This is another of this latest historical or scientific news that look a lot like created by AI.
> Over half of the bones came from blue whales.
This claim just does not made a lot of sense.
> Spectroscopy, which reveals the chemical makeup of bones by analyzing collagen proteins found in bone fragments, is cheaper and faster than DNA analysis.
And much more inaccurate, it seems. Again, we have big claims (that people will repeat for decades) supported by dwarf proofs or subpar methods.
I want to play this game also: "Scientists discover that spears make whales autistic".
- Y_Y 2y agoWhat's a "dwarf proof"? It's been an open secret in the industry for a long time that autism in whales is caused by harpoons, but big plankton doesn't want it to become public knowledge. In fact many believe that smaller harpoons can have the same effect in humans as studies have shown (2023, Ishmael et al.)
- pvaldes 2y ago> What's a "dwarf proof"? A proof with a stunted development obviously, so it never grow as tall as the other proofs and can be spotted as dubious from a mile even if it wears high soles to hide it.
- dunekid 2y agoThis is a bogus claim. The Ishmael guy just starts the paper by proclaiming his name. That's no way to start a rigorous dissertation. The publishing year is wrong too.
