@404mediaco interesting that rape is not seen as a possibility of this outcome
@404mediaco @MamaLake i thought about that every time these genetic remnants were presented, and came to think that it’s probably because the nature of the mix is probably not in the scope of geneticists work
@Kierkegaanks @404mediaco yeah, that makes sense, focusing on one part of the data, rather than the sociology/anthropology. We are only a century into the understanding that women are people, consent culture still isn’t understood by our species as a whole. We exalt abusers in every culture. This article uses mysterious and preferred in a way I don’t agree with.
@MamaLake @404mediaco i hope those interpretations are from the article and not the paper!
@MamaLake @404mediaco @amiserabilist they probably killed and ate eachother during climate events too
