Males Are the Taller Sex. Estrogen, Not Fights for Mates, May Be Why.

To explain why men are on average taller than women, scientists theorized about competition for mates. But the effects of estrogen on bone growth may be answer enough.

I will not accept shame for not having read all the things. And neither should you.

What if I told you that human babies are not born underdeveloped/early? And what if I told you that freeing yourself from that fiction also lessens your bias against women’s bodies? Evolutionary stories have personal consequences. #ThanksForComingToMyTedTalk #anthropology

Evolution does not replace Christianity or any religion. It's non-threatening. Also, evolution is not only real it's awesome. Join the fun!

We need to rally the troops to stand against the pagan religion of evolution forced on generations of kids using our tax money

Mid sentence, while I was sort of baring my soul about my atheism to 120 students I barely know, a student raised their hand, I called on them, and they asked for clarification of the date of the upcoming quiz, so I clarified. That’s the tweet.

Rather than posting this paper on the blog ( @EcoDevoEvo ) , we wanted the quality control and approval of peer-review. And it cost us, personally, $2000 to make this #openaccess and to obtain permissions to reprint figures. We hope that it will be a useful resource.

Thanks, @ChrisStringer65 ! We've learned to accept bipedalism without sapiens or even erectus anatomy. So, hopefully culture without sapiens brains can be something people can be open to too. After all, chimps AND human toddlers do culture and create with relatively small brains.

If you believe that feminism and science *are* compatible, then this paper is for you… with respect and admiration.

My kid, barely 5 years on this planet, is singing “Sweet Home O-O-Bama” to himself because he thinks that’s how it goes ... and this is why we have children, people. @MichelleObama @BarackObama

Racist takes on race inspired by the recent Nature paper are, as ever, equating race with human biological variation that patterns geographically due to ancestry. To lots of people that concept of race (insinuated by the US Census) is common sense but common sense is racist.
