re: #741 Birth Control Works

Okay I read that article and it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

a) Anthropologist weighing in on evolution. Well, I’ll let that one go.

We detect socially-significant colour variation much better than other colours (example given is blushing). Funny that, if instead of blushing we did something like, I don’t know, turned bright orange, that would be the socially-significant colour variation we’d notice.

We use that today to detect fascist authoritarians.

Why would one think the “ideal” system to detect colour would be different than ours? Ours developed for the specific environmental pressures we faced as we evolved.

Perhaps I am not educated well enough for this fellow’s hypothesis, but to me it sounds like bollocks.
