I am happy that folks study drugs to help people get more benefits out of them than disadvantages.

What an absolute garbage article.

This is missing the biggest piece: phylogenetic analysis. They aligned a selected group of mutations and then eyeballed the alignments and then speculated.

Here’s what the methods section for this paper should look like in order to make the theoretical leap.

A reasonable phylogenetic tree is here: https://nextstrain.org/ncov/gisaid/global/6m

It was just a recording of a human voice! It would be interesting to test this on other continents with large predators and prey.

@DavidB@kbin.social avatar

Ancient technology turns milk into something we want to eat and that's delicious and that's been eaten since the dawn of time.

Anyone remember the "Gary" meme? Can't believe that was 7 years ago.

Encromion, in Unlocking the Brain’s Secrets: Where Does Conscious Experience Truly Reside?

Relatedly, where are memories stored? How can we have flashes of memory from decades ago? Why can we not access certain memories until something traumatic or triggering happens and then it comes flooding back? Why do smells trigger memory?

There’s…a lot…we don’t know about the brain, wow.

Long term memories are stored in the hypothalamus as you sleep at night.

Smells are tied to more primitive structures in in the brain. I'm a little rusty on why it makes the memories so strong, but there's quite a bit of research out on that one.

Trauma is also encoded differently, but there's a lot of garbage research that muddies the waters on that particular subject.
