>>3555 I have seen this same graph/pic/image all over 4chan. They seem to be celebrating it based on whatever they picked from the study (superiority or some shit). I haven't read it and I don't know what it is.
>>3578 Well, I've tried to understand, with difficulty, what the study says. The X/A ratio is to do with X chromosomes and autosomes (non-sex chromosomes). "Because two-thirds of X chromosomes are found in females whereas autosomes are split equally between the two sexes, a ratio between their effective population sizes (X/A ratio) of 0.75 is expected under random mating." So the higher the ratio, the more Xs, and the more reproducing females there are in the population. The graph is captioned "The low X/A ratio for the European has been suggested to be due to demographic effects connected to migrating out of Africa", which presumably means something caused there to be less females, or less reproducing females, in the population. So that's all it means. Ancestral genetics show less women had babies in Europe than Africa. Or something.
It means bonobos need to be added to the list of animals which should be given "human" rights alongside elephants, dolphins, some of the other primates and probably a fair few species of mollusc.
