Random facts of life
Sometimes nature is sexist. Usually it's men that get the short stick - especially where health is concerned. This time she had it for women. The gene variant that increases possibility of Alzheimer's especially and is gender specific. This gene is on the X-chromosome (women have two X-chromosomes, men have one of those and one Y) and it appears to increase the risk of developing late onset Alzheimer's disease. Effects are more pronounced if you have two copies. Luckily that is rare.
Smarter men have more sperm. So it's not the size of nose or feet but IQ. It maybe just the effect of taking care of themselves better but it may also mean they generally have better genes. Choose smart - it comes with better package.
The devastating power of good intentions - an island near Antarctica was made cat-free only to ecologically collapse under rabbits reign of terror few years later. The native life (especially birds) was to be safe after the removal of the alien predators but conservationists forgot about other squatters. The population of rabbits was being kept in check by cats and after their removal they replicated like rabbits. The danger of intervening into ecosystem - even the artificial one. Even removing top of the food chain has dire consequences. Now millions will be spent to eradicate rabbits, rats and mice. I wish them luck.
