What's more likely: that he's got near-omniescent market reading skills, or he's an arrogant and self-convinced dumbass?

This is why "vote with your dollar!" is fucking stupid.
Especially in this era where like 15 companies own everything and all the competing brands, whether they be "alternative" or "ethical" end up in the pockets of the same corporations.

Okay but you keep saying "some" women, when we're talking about the "average" woman.

Part of the problem. A big brain can take up a lot of space for a live birthing organism. Imagine the head of a baby at 3 months being pushed through the coochie

We suspect babies started being born earlier because while some women can accomodate a child with chimp-birth requirement, many can't, and this is a population genetics question, not a mendelian genetics question.

Humans are special in reproduction amoungst primates because of our upright gait. Human babies are born much earlier in development than most mammals, which is why they're comparatively helpless for the first few years.

I wouldn't even feel your "massive burrito" as I passed it easily the required 16 hours later.

As a lab tech, I just look at this, and I think of fewer blood cultures, and I shed a tear of joy
