  • If the relaxation of the pouch is directly tied to the stress/adrenaline response diverting resources elsewhere, which aids in escape, then it’s not so easy to optimize to not loose the pouch. Pouch relaxation wouldn’t be the genetic trait being selected for or against, flight response would be.

    It can be more harmful for the pouch to be relaxed than not on an isolated level, but if that’s counteracted by the increased ability to escape due to resource allocation then it would pass on as a “by product” regardless of its individual effect.

    There may not be an existing genetic variation which maintains the pouch control during the flight response without compromise on the degree of speed or intensity dedicated to the escape. Evolution can’t select for mutations that don’t yet exist in the gene pool.


  • Not necessarily. Evolution doesn’t optimize trait by trait.

    If the flight response leads to overall more reproduction it would naturally pass on regardless of any effect of the loss of pouch control.

    The dropping of the baby wouldn’t necessarily be a trait itself, but a side effect of the flight response.

    Well you are foolish if you really think this proves anything. There is a long history of anti-China movements catering to the west for sympathy, as that’s their main backer. Protest signs in English and this are just part of an appeal to the west.

    All this proves is that they have heard the same stupid memes you have.

    This guy was on a roof and shot his ear.

    The second attempt would be from Ryan Routh, NATO obsessed guy who loved Biden and Ukraine and could summon 10,000 volunteer soldiers he recruited to help Ukraine, if only he got to charge his ult.

    Why would it matter if they’re genz/alpha? They are describing observed trends.

    What in their comment has anything to do with people shouting respect their elders? Or younger people thinking old people are too nostalgic? It seems the opposite if anything, more based on older people’s nostalgia for their time and younger people internalizing that, not fighting against it.

    When did they claim to be special?

    Christianity is Christianity.

    What some people do based on a misguided and uninformed interpretation of Christianity is their own decisions masked behind Christianity.

    Most Americans aren’t Christian scholars, id wager most haven’t even studied the Bible themselves, but listen to whatever their preacher tells them.
