I get what you are saying. So let's start with the hypothesis then. We must ask a question first to begin to create tests ( thought experiments in this case ). "Environment and/or society ( which is part of your environment )

My other career is breeding working dogs. After observing hundreds of dogs I can tell you breed traits do not disappear just because we make the dog a house pet. Sometimes the traits will remain dormant and simply need to be 'unlocked&

I know people don't want to admit to genetic impacts on cognition but there have been pressures over many generations for these traits and those pressures have been different all over the world. Take the example of a genetic lineage li

by kokanator 5y ago
What the paper calls for is the definition of censorship. A group of individuals with government oversight decides what is allowed to be published. The document expressly states this is to quiet certain voices. Definition of censorship: &qu
