Explaining a genetic disorder’s unique shift
Recent findings in genetics have shown a very interesting effect from fathers to their children. While a rare condition PWS (Prader-Willi Syndrome) is thought to be the leading cause of genetically caused obesity, its effects can be mitigated by the participation of the father.

Yes I would agree that a handpicked group that can be part of a longitudinal study would yield superior results over a true sample across the population, but it proves nothing about the latter. This made more so if one starts to assign [...]
Long work hours widen the gender gap
It stands to reason that its not because of cultural issues that people gravitate to certain things, but because of biology, of which culture THEN shapes a more comfortable reason around it. While the findings below are interesting, ultimately the conclusions made are not valid since they refuse to accept biology as an answer. [...]
