- hga 13y agoErrr, reread what I said. If they weren't fat it would support the hypothesis. If fat, who knows?
- AsymetricCom 13y agoSorry, you didn't convince me that your proposal is true. It's quite silly.
- ethanbond 13y agoI don't think s/he was trying to. Only to throw out an idea.
- hga 13y agoAnd not even mine, I got it from Glenn "Instapundit" Reynolds, can't remember if he got it from someone else. Another half test is to wait and see if we don't have an ice age, that would be evidence against it, but not absolute if e.g. the global warming crowd is partly correct.
- AsymetricCom 13y agoI know, this is how an informal scientific process happens. Don't be offended.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoWhy would Brazil and India being fat have to do with it? If its an evolved attribute in all humans/animals, then there hasn't been enough time for migration to play much of a role in the adaptation. It would be quite weird though, it means it would have to have come very early in our history when we basically lived in the same place, pre-human even, and somehow the adaptation has survived through multiple cycles of speciation. Highly unlikely.
