Prof of mol evolution. Neutral theory was provoked by mol clock. MC has been dumped as a mirage but NT is still around, bizarre!! MGD theory ready to step up...

"Some 20 years ago, we thought about this as 'junk DNA' — we gave it a very bad term," Korbel told Live Science. "There's more and more the realization that these sequences are not junk," and the new work sheds light on these long-maligned DNA sequences.livescience.com/health/genetic……

🌍🇨🇳 Xi Jinping, speaking before Lavrov and Araqchi, declared: "We do not seek to rule the world… only to liberate it from those who believe they own it."
A new paper warns about the neutral theory:" It is particularly important to emphasize that the neutral theory of molecular evolution provides an incomplete explanation for genetic diversity patterns. This theory originated from the flawed “molecular clock hypothesis”, which…
Africans were known initially to have higher SNP genetic diversity than nonAfricans with most SNPs assumed to be neutral. That Africans have higher neutral genetic diversity does not necessarily mean that they should also have higher genetic diversity in functional variants.…
"Genomes with African ancestry have, on average, 468 additional paralogous genes (n = 21,595 total genes) when compared with genomes of non-African individuals (n = 21,127 total genes)." it is less precise to have a look alike around doing related works, like having higher…

“In some cases, activism attracts individuals with less than noble motives. According to one new study, this includes pathological narcissists, who use social-justice activism as a way to virtue signal and put themselves above other people.” [Link below.]

The Cain-Provine wager on the neutral theory of molecular evolution (1992).
Arthur Cain on attitudes towards ecology in Oxford in the 1930s and 1940s. From Cain and Provine’s joint 1992 book chapter.
The molecular clock (MC) hypothesis and the Neutral theory (NT) predict ancient DNA should be closer to an outgroup than its living sister lineage—a critical assumption seldom tested. We've tested it directly. The result? MC/NT fails.

孟子认为，人的本性就像水一样，都有向下的本性，这象征着向善的趋势。具体来说，当人看到有人要掉进井里时，会本能地产生恻隐之心，想要去救助。这种本能的反应，就体现了人性的善。 以下是《孟子·告子上》中与“性本善”相关的原话片段：…
