Re some nonsense on this list a year or so ago.

Of the 10,000 genes more than roundworms that humans have, I wonder how many of them are devoted to establishing a tendency in older males to mate with teenagers? Or maybe roundworms were already doing that. And it probably takes several hundred genes to evolve the tendency of intellectuals to develop theories of human society out of a vaguely remembered paragraph from a high-school biology text.
