Svante Pääbo, the father of paleogenomics, went funny before his Nobel Prize.
Schneider Shorts 5.08.2022 – russia’s useful idiots, Dr Oz’ emails to Dr Birx about Dr Raoult, with Harvard’s undead pigs, Weizmann’s artificial baby mice, Neanderthals trapped in the metaphase, four humours of depression, punished fraudsters, papermills, retractions, and new cures for cancer and obesity.
Schneider Shorts 25.06.2021: telomere stretching in Milan and other COVID-19 cures, Best Lab Leak Ever Award, the elusive Pandolfi, coffee and chocolate, and hooray, Raoult & Chabriere finally announced on Twitter to sue yours truly in Marseille.
Autistic Neanderthal minibrains operating crab robots via brain waves of newborn babies are to be launched into outer space for the purpose of interstellar colonization. No, I am not insane. Science Has Spoken.
Who brought us COVID-19? The Neanderthals. The susceptibility to the SARS-CoV2 coronavirus, but also to diabetes, obesity, allergies, skin diseases, smoking and autism all happened because your great-[…]-great-grandfather could not keep his todger in his trousers many thousands of years ago.
Neanderthals colonised Europe and Middle East long before modern humans and went extinct less than 30,000 years ago, when our species has spread there. Their story inspired the fantasies of generation of scientists, some of whom still cannot accept the idea that Neanderthals were just another kind of humans very similar or maybe simply just like us. Even new age phrenology is paraded as scientific explanation to why Neanderthal died out.
