You don't need it. I'm not a fan of Kiwisaver either though, so you do you. You could always flick money to people that you may not have paid back in the past and clear your name lol *hugs*

Kiwisaver is the best thing since sliced bread. What do you have against it?

No, you have completely skewed that - and if that's how you are forced to view scientific facts, I am truly sorry for you.

Nobody mentioned genetic advantage except for you - it's a genetic *differece*. In one case dark skin is performing a function to confer resistance to UV radiation. In another it is being conferred by a different mechanism; thereby meaning that (in theory) the first mechanism is no longer genetically conserved.

In actual fact there are many 'advantages' conferred by Neanderthal DNA, and many 'disadvantages'. Of course being so simple as to define genetic traits in such binary terms is not useful.

I also said EURASIAN descent. Not European.
In fact this already COMES from funded scientific research of the effects of Neanderthal DNA on humans - and in fact there already WAS a funded study on whether Neanderthal DNA directly impacted skin tone, as I mentioned.

It is simply science fact that Neanderthal DNA happens to appear in populations that migrated out of Africa at an earlier date, and became the ancestors of the Eurasian population; and not populations that migrated out of Africa later, after the Neanderthal population had vanished or simply no longer interbred.

Ignoring and/or censoring the immensely fascinating field of genetic ancestry and trying to pretend like we are not clusters of diversely traited populations that each have a distinct genetic heritage due to political correctness and cultural memes sounds awfully a lot like religion and is stupid.

Lets burn the observatory so this never happens again!

Nothing is simply science. That's how science in the early 20th century was done. You should read these fullas, simply giddy at the idea of doing away with mothers and having the state raise children instead cause they had figured out the science of child raising.

Individually we can view scientific results as we like. But at the community and institutional level care has to be taken we're not being blinded to our own biases and assumptions in elevating and promoting some form of knowledge to stand alone as fact.

Facts exist in time and space. Science exists within society and culture. To use the word "simple" to describe science fundamentally misunderstands it.

You're repeating what your parents learnt from your grandparents. That's how long ago we revered science in such a way. But some things happened and now we're more careful.

The sequences of DNA which are present in all Neandertals sampled, which have been theorised (unsure if tests done) to confer UV protection, have been found in humans after what appears to have been cross-breeding events.

There is zero culture in that. Zero interpretation. It's a fact of the objective world. It is not subjective.

THAT is simply science.

To be picky: Neandertals were humans.

Hypothetical: if migration had gone in a different direction and it were African Sapiens who interbred with Neandertals, publishing that fact would end one's career.

The people who interbred with Neanderthals *WERE* African sapiens...

But in any event, what is your point? That there are culturally inflammatory/sensitive topics for which one can be cancelled?

That's a given? I don't see how it relates to the discussion though.
You also don't get funding based off the results of a study.

Given the above, and as a response to your specific example:
https://www.science.org/content/arti...eanderthal-dna

Quote:
The best fit model for where Africans got all this Neanderthal DNA suggests about half of it came when Europeans—who had Neanderthal DNA from previous matings—migrated back to Africa in the past 20,000 years.

After googling to find out who that is, I applaud Depp's legal team for putting on the stand the hottest clinical psychologist they could find. Pro-tier.

I would guess it's not so much actual brainwashing, and more that China paid him well.

dude, a tray of mangoes will cost you $20 in season. Strawberries are cheap AF. There's so much good/cheap fruit in Queensland.

Fresh pineapples sold for $1 each on the side of the road.
