Are there any #geneticists on here or do you know any who are willing to answer a few questions for an article I'm writing? Boosts appreciated.

#US #startup charging couples to ‘screen #embryos for #IQ
#Heliospect’s services were marketed at $50,000 for 100 embryos. Managers boasted they could produce gain of more than 6 IQ points. Selecting embryos for high IQ is not permitted under #UK law. While legal in US, where #embryology is more loosely regulated, IQ screening is not yet commercially available there.
Leading #geneticists and #bioethicists said the project raised a host of moral and medical issues.

Are there any #zoologists or #geneticists here specializing in canids? I have some questions for which I only want a professional opinion. Putting my wish out there hoping someone can spare a few minutes for me.

'A history of contact': Geneticists are rewriting the narrative of Neanderthals and other ancient humans

Ever since the first Neanderthal bones were discovered in 1856, people have wondered about these ancient hominins. How are they different from us? How much are they like us? Did our ancestors get along with them? Fight them? Love them? The recent discovery of a group called Denisovans, a Neanderthal-like group who populated Asia and South Asia, added its own set of questions.

How – and why – did homosexual behaviour evolve in humans and other animals?

A new cross-species study shows same-sex sexual behaviour has social benefits for groups, which explains its high frequency in humans and other mammals.
