1 Citation ?I?ve left my body to Science, but I?m afraid they turned it down?, Eric Idle How well would you say you take care for your body? Better or worse than you car? Pet? Children? House? It is a little cliche, but worth being reminded of I think, that you only have one body, and so should take care of it.

Should fat people have to pay for two airline tickets? 1 Citation I have discussed before the issue of airlines policy on morbidly obese people. Here is an interesting ?review? of the current situation by Dietblog. Some of my thoughts: I am talking about seriously overweight people here - not your average 115kg person who has enjoyed too many big dinners. To me a seat as something you rent off the airline for the set trip. Much like shipping cargo, it makes sense to have to pay when requiring additional area and weight. If you need more than one seat it, technorati.com

Estimating degree of Native American admixture from faces 1 Citation Klimentidis and Shriver have a new paper which looked at the concordance between people's perception of Native American admixture and their actual admixture estimated from ancestry informative markers. Overall, observers' ratings were non-random, indicating that they could indeed estimate ancestry from facial appearance. They were, however, closer to random than to the actual admixture proportion, indicating a great degree of "noise" in the estimate. Interestingly, Europeans estimated admixture, technorati.com

Facial anthropometry correlates with admixture proportions in African Americans 1 Citation If you doubt that facial measurements can be used to determine racial makeup, feel free to use my old black-or-white calculator , which determines the chance that a given individual is Caucasoid or Negroid - rather than admixture proportions as in this study. I would be interested to hear of biracial individuals' results though, so send me an e-mail. Quite often, people don't take accurate measurements, though, so if you get an unexpected result, the odds are that you're measuring something wro, technorati.com

Do women lighten their hair to compensate for aging? 1 Citation In Jason's post on the distributions of hair and eye color, it looks like women are claiming their hair is lighter than it is. The sex differences are the opposite of what is found when the hair is rated by others. Women are lying because they think it makes them look better. If they're going to misrepresent their hair color, they're likely to dye it for the same reason. Whether it is to participate in the fashion for blonds in their age cohort or to cater to men in their cohort (there's eviden, technorati.com
