More interesting than whether the whole mammalian class has some gender-based size bias (honestly, who cares) is how such common knowledge is, as frequently, wrong. Well, most likely wrong. I would have liked more on the #statistics.

An analysis of 429 mammalian species published in Nature Communications reveals that just 45 percent feature males that are larger than females. Nearly an equal number of species, 39 percent, have sexes that are about the same size. And in 16 percent of species, females are larger than males.

Most past studies that compared male and female size, Tombak found, only considered the average body mass for each of the sexes. The authors then drew conclusions based on whatever cutoff they set for determining if there was a difference. “It was just arbitrary,” Tombak says. Virtually all of these papers reinforced Darwin’s view that males are larger than females in mammalian species.

Tombak and her colleagues started filling in the gaps by conducting a thorough literature review, oftentimes turning to “obscure” papers published decades ago, she says. They were looking for not just averages pertaining to the sexes’ sizes but also measures of variance around the mean so they could apply statistical tests to determine whether a species truly seemed to be dimorphic.

How Far to the 1.5°C #Limit?

source: https://tamino.wordpress.com/2024/01/08/how-far-to-the-1-5c-limit/

And what, you deserve to know, is my answer to the original question, “How far to the 1.5°C limit?” Using the current smoothed values calculated with my new definition of “pre-industrial,” I’ll say we are now 1.32°C above pre-industrial, so another 0.18°C will bring us to the limit. At the rate we’re going, I expect that to happen in the early 2030s.

Dan #Ariely and Francesca #Gino became famous for their #research into why we bend the #truth. Now they’ve both been accused of fabricating data.

Source: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/10/09/they-studied-dishonesty-was-their-work-a-lie

She and a collaborator (who wished to remain anonymous, for fear of professional retribution) approached Data Colada. The team had had its own doubts about Gino since 2014, but had concluded that a full investigation was more trouble than it was worth. Now, however, they scrutinized her previous work, and found multiple instances of data that seemed to be misbehaving. #Ziani said, “The magnitude of the fraud was potentially so gigantic that they didn’t want to be merely one hundred per cent sure but one thousand per cent sure.”

#China's #population drops for second year, with record low #birth rate

Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-population-drops-2nd-year-raises-long-term-growth-concerns-2024-01-17/

The country's retirement-age population, aged 60 and over, is expected to increase to more than 400 million by 2035 - more than the entire population of the United States - from about 280 million people currently.
The state-run Chinese Academy of Sciences sees the #pension #system running out of money by 2035.

Population reduction is good for the #environment. Perpetual growth is nonsense on a finite planet. Why not solve this problem now while we are still doing relatively well? I forgot, because it means work for politicians and they're not so good at that. Besides, many people don't want to change and adapt and believe that everything was better in the past. We used to cause the problems in the past that are now threatening to ruin our #future!

The West's governments have access to excellent #intel, #demography, national #statistics, #anthropology & other #info describing the people-groups, cultures & #societies of the #people they have imported into #Western nations.

The West's #governments used #NATO, #UN, #paramilitary & intel agencies to kick proverbial wasp nests in the Middle East, #Africa & South-West #Asia & then opened the West's borders to hostile peoples from antithetical #cultures.

None of the #political, #corporate, #academic, #plutocratic or #aristocratic #elites have been harmed. The #victims have been the peoples of the #West who had little to no say in #geopolitical affairs. The West’s elites are at #war with Western peoples.

Religious Belief Systems by Continent Region, 2023.

Due to there being no data for just over 900 million people, each figure given for each belief system should be considered as being around 89% accurate. This could, for example, swap the most prevalent religion position between Christianity & Islam, or could further extend Christianity's lead.

GDP Per Capita & National Mean IQ for 240 Countries & Dependencies, using Pearson Sample Correlation Coefficient, 2023.

This demonstrates that as mean IQ goes down, GDP Per Capita also goes down, or conversely, as mean IQ goes UP, GDP Per Capita also goes up, with a 0.63 (strong) correlation.

This is in relationship to the graph provided at the following link: https://iviv.hu/posts/1527586

Population density of European countries with at least 5 million population, 2023.

As you can see from this data, the UK is the third most population dense country of all countries in the European continent region with at least 5 million population.

There is no necessity or justification for mass migration into the United Kingdom. The UK is a relatively small island nation & space is at a premium.
