An occasional commentary on the fundamental things in life

RSS


This is what makes me wonder, generally...

I often spend my free time pondering things that would make interesting scientific theses.
I've recently been wondering a lot to do with genetics, such as the level of effect that slavers had on the African-American and black-Caribbean populations, in terms of their physical attributes. You can really tell I'm a scientist, can't you?

More scientific still is whether the "real" reason for the autism/MMR thing is due to a genetic predisposition, or some other unconsidered factor. I have a whole pHD proposition in my head for this, and EVERYTHING.


I don't know why I think about this stuff, I guess I just find it more worthwhile than football. If anyone here is a pHD scientist or knows if there's any scientific research on these points, please point me to it.

Next up...Religion?
