Of course, I'm sure all these variants are evenly distributed among human subpopulations. Because all men (and women, too!) are created equal...

Perhaps the researchers would have better luck finding people with many of those genes at once if, instead of sampling randomly, they sample from groups with very high average IQ. Go ask around at the physics and math departments....

weren't there three post here yesterday?

bo: "weren't there three post here yesterday?"

Yes. There was a criticism of the statistical relevance of the CHRM2 result.

Here is a related criticism of medical studies:

Why would someone delete a critism of statistical relevance? Isn' that relevant? :-)

Any follow up comments questioning why a comment was deleted will also be deleted.

If no one knows why it was deleted than how do we know how not to violate the rules. I read the comment and I don't see what the issue with it was, so if I don't see it, it is logical that I might make a similar comment that will be judged inappropiate...

Fly:

Thanks for the article.

Bo,

I don't know why the comment disappeared. It may have been a problem with the blogging comment software? As far as I'm aware none of the GNXP posters deleted the comment. I thought it was an informed comment.

Thanks Fly...I don't mean to be irritating or questioning authority, this is not my sight, I was just curious.
