The picture appears to show some half-human/half canine hybrid creatures. If this crossing were continued (gradually increasing the dog DNA contribution) then after how many generations would the females/bitches no longer be required to wear a bra?
If only Adam Rutherford was still on Curious Cases.

"Cosa rispondere a un razzista. Storia, scienza, razza e realtà" di Adam Rutherford, 144 pagine, Bollati Boringhieri, edizione 2020.

Saggio molto interessante, soprattutto nella prima parte.
Con grande rigore scientifico #AdamRutherford sviscera la questione "razza e razzismo".
Lo consiglierei ai razzisti, ma se uno ha la mente chiusa…

"Nevertheless, every Nazi has Jewish ancestors. Every white supremacist has Middle Eastern ancestors. Every racist has African, Indian, Chinese, Native American, aboriginal Australian ancestors, as well as everyone else, and not just in the sense that humankind is an African species in deep prehistory, but at a minimum from classical times, and probably much more recently. Racial purity is a pure fantasy.."

Has anyone else been wondering what's happened to #AdamRutherford lately?
Has he been dropped by the #BBC for going a bit loony, or what?
#CuriousCases used to be the BBC's last proper #science programme - I really miss it.

What happened to Adam Rutherford? Part 9 - Nothing - he's been promoting behavioral genetics for a long time

So in Part 8 we talked about the flimsiness of twin studies , which are considered by many to be the basis of behavioral genetics. Jay Josep...

@dangillmor racism extends from the notion of race, a failed and rejected 19 century anthropological typology.
The recognition of cultural and identity differences between people are far more accurate and much less oppressive than the artifice of race.
For the white, populist agenda recognition of culture and identity is attacked as “woke”.
There are no really significant genetic differences between people of different skin colour or eye shape. At least not in the way that racists would have us accept.
Racial distinction and even the word race, should be abandoned, as have been other unsupported pseudo sciences like phrenology.
#AdamRutherford wrote a great book on the subject

How to Argue with a Racist by Adam Rutherford review – we’re all related

Every white supremacist has African and Chinese ancestors … a fascinating debunking of racial pseudoscience

VERY, VERY disappointed that Adam isn't in the new series. THIS DOESN'T WORK. Dara Ó Briain is just annoying and far too up himself to do #science presentation.

This interview with biologist Adam Rutherford includes some excellent examples of why liberal arts disciplines are essential to science. They are the tools by which we define what science is in the first place, and decide what questions are useful to explore in scientific practice.

@rebeccasear

My favorite lecture on this:
#RichardLewontin in which: “shows that almost all human genetic variation is contained between individuals within any local population and that the consequences of repeated migrations, invasions, and mixture between groups destroys any clear racial boundaries„
