Social by Nature, the recent book by Catherine Bliss on the development and state of the field of sociogenomics, is far from perfect. Yet, this flawed book levies a mixture of erroneous and compelling questions about the state of the field ...

People living in socially cohesive neighborhoods generally have better health. We extend this research by evaluating the hypothesis that perceived neighborhood cohesion may influence health by attenuating genetic liability for cardiometabol...
Genetic nature or genetic nurture? Introducing social genetic parameters to quantify bias in polygenic score analyses [0.03%]
基因天性还是基因溺爱？引入社会基因参数以量化多基因评分分析中的偏差

Results from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) can be used to generate a polygenic score (PGS), an individual-level measure summarizing identified genetic influence on a trait dispersed across the genome. For complex, behavioral traits...

The evolution of mortality shows a marked deceleration at older ages. This phenomenon is generally thought to be an effect of selection: mortality decelerates because it progressively selects the most robust individuals in the cohort. Other...
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes: a seemingly culturally universal and potentially evolved human tendency to hold extreme preferences and values [0.03%]
亲爱的，我不知道为什么我会走向极端：一种似乎具有跨文化普遍性的人类持有极端偏好和价值观的倾向
Satoshi Kanazawa
Satoshi Kanazawa
Positive psychologists have observed, based on large cross-cultural data, that "most people are happy" and "life is pretty meaningful." Evolutionary and behavior genetic considerations suggest, however, that the human tendency to hold "extr...
New evidence on the impacts of early exposure to the 1918 influenza pandemic on old-age mortality [0.03%]

Aging is a major risk factor for both normal and pathological cognitive decline. However, individuals vary in their rate of age-related decline. We developed an easily interpretable composite measure of cognitive age, and related both the l...
Tykes, Toddlers, Teens, and Twins of Robust Mothers: Do the Offspring of Twinning Mothers Share in Their Mother's Robust Phenotype? [0.03%]
结实母亲的后代：双胞胎母亲的女儿或儿子也具有她们母亲的健壮体质吗？

Women who bear twins may possess a robust phenotype compared to non-twinning mothers. We examine mortality patterns for the singleton offspring of mothers of twins compared to the offspring of non-twinning mothers to determine whether they ...
