I would say the logical thing to do for the doctor is Not to trust the patient peer until AFTER the doctor has actually read the article himself. The problem here is the doctor will likely trust the patient without ever…
>I think people generally underestimate how non-straightforward natural selection is, especially when epigenetics is taken into account. Living beings carry around a lot of dormant genes that can spring to life under…
Sure, that's a valid point. But another valid point is the causative agent for homosexuality in humans is the same causative agent for homosexuality in animals and this would invalidate your point if it were true.…
