Science can be excellent science, good science, mediocre science, bad science...<br /><br />This I'd put in the mediocre if not bad science category. Similar to the paper published by ID proponents Axe and Gauger last year noting that it's impossible to evolve by natural selection from one modern existing enzyme to another similar modern existing enzyme.<br /><br />True, but trivial, similar to the creationist claim that evolution is disproved because cats don't give birth to dogs, even though they're clearly related being both Carnivora.<br /><br />I have some doubt about this research, besides doubting that human olfaction can detect HLA differences, even subconsciously. What about the Westermarck effect in which children raised together, even if completely unrelated, don't find each other sexually attractive? Whereas siblings raised apart as children and later meeting as adults (and sharing around 50% of their HLA genes on average) can find each other attractive - assuming that they're unaware of their kinship.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-82968244328390166632012-10-16T15:28:12.453-04:002012-10-16T15:28:12.453-04:00"Unlike her, evolutionary science never sleep..."<i>Unlike her, evolutionary science never sleeps.</i>"<br /><br />But, it does hallucinate.Ilíonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339406092961816142noreply@blogger.com
