Pretty in pink


More evidence (from 2007) that sociobiology is a pseudo-science...

We still haven´t explained pink

  1. Well some of it of course. But nothing pseudo about a sociobiolgical perspective in itself.

    Can sociobiology explain this? Is this "adaptive" somehow?

  5. A sociobioligist would probably say that a lot of people Who were not capable of adaptiv beviour due to mutations affecting their brain in most cases died before procreating untill recently. With a wellfare state that does not practice eugenics those mutants procreate at never befiote seen lvls. "5 Year old elves" in old humans bodies is one of many bizarre expressuons of human mutations occuring in never before seen numbers in history.

    Personally i thimk there is a lot of merit to The above but even sound minds without harmfull mutations can go of The rails from enviromental toxins, especislly from estrogenic mimickers wich is very common in industrisl waste.
    And some old fashioned sociolgy added to The above makes it even better. But The old fashion sociologists refyse to have anything to do with sociobioligist. Thats a shame since i thimk colsboration could take a stagnating science dicipline to new heigts.Sociology havet Come up with anything groundbreaking since 1920 or so.
    Make Sociolgy Great Again(by integrating socibiology in the dicipline).

  6. I sometimes get the impression that sociobiologists are tackling the wrong problems (scientifically speaking), and that this is because of ideological reasons important to late 20th century America (such as attempts to disprove feminism), while the really interesting stuff is never tackled - but sure, I could be wrong, haven´t looked into the field for a long time, and then mostly popularized books.

    Issues that seem important to tackle include mechanisms (both biological and "deep sociological") behind population increase and/or decrease, for instance. Or biological consequences of more people living to a very old age. Or biological consequences of IT.

    Or Neanderthal genes, for that matter...
