A new preprint finds that East Asians have the most genetic distance from chimpanzees, and Africans the least distance. The chance that this study, conducted by Chinese scientists, will find a US journal courageous enough to publish it is next to zero

See this is why a lot of Chinese research will be the critical in coming years. They are investigating genetic distance and reporting it in a direct way.

"Even the Economist now will publish unwelcome truths about immigration economics. There is NO libertarian dream story to tell here. There is just the very obvious net economic loss from below average immigrants. It's not complicated." - Emil Kirkegaard

Edward O. Wilson, the famous naturalist who wrote Sociobiology, is said to have died today at 92.

In order to withstand the onslaught of his Harvard Biology department colleague Stephen Jay Gould, Edward O. Wilson taught himself in the mid-1970s how to write like a literary intellectual. He immediately won a Pulitzer Prize for On Human Nature.

E.O. Wilson’s whole life was like that. As Bill & Ted would say: Triumphant.
