.@hbdchick So do you have another, better candidate gene (or genes) for your idea?

@hbdchick But when I do tell you things (like genetic differences aren't enough to justify racial categories), you say I'm being political.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@hbdchick I just told you that the evidence used to support your argument is wrong, so you demand I find you something you agree with.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@hbdchick So why don't YOU become a geneticist and start working on these questions also instead of just writing about them? -
.
@JenniferRaff (2/2) ...experience what i'm experiencing right now: being called a waaaycist by hysterical people. (or losing your job.) -

@hbdchick What on earth makes you think that anthropological geneticists don't research/talk about/write about race?pic.twitter.com/33vwxdZRbX

.
@JenniferRaff never said that. honestly - do all you folks out there only hear what you want to hear? -
@hbdchick And I have neither been hysterical, nor have I ever called you a racist. Let's move on.... -
.
@JenniferRaff ok, you haven't been hysterical or called me a racist, but@pzmyers did. but do respond to the thing about assertions. -
@hbdchick Which thing? My TL is a bit crowded at the moment... -
.
@JenniferRaff yours?! =P you agreed w/alex that i think that all assertions should be believed: https://twitter.com/JenniferRaff/status/465189157145309184 … show that. - 14 more replies

@hbdchick@JenniferRaff So any baseless assertion is automatically to be presumed true until shown to be false? Alas... -
@Alexdurrant7 Yeah, I think that
@hbdchick has a fundamental misunderstanding about how science works. But we all have to start somewhere! -
.
@JenniferRaff @Alexdurrant7 again, show me where i've EVER said that all assertions should be presumed true until shown false. go on. -
@hbdchick You either take the approach of presumed truth to be universally applicable or you're making an exception for race. Which? -
.@Alexdurrant7 i don't presume anything is true. ever. also, we weren't discussing race. i thought we were discussing decline in violence.
