Count Roland posted:Really? I find it odd that say France and East Germany show up so clearly on a map of genetics. Full disclosure: in population studies, any combination of factors that can explain 25% of variation is worthy of publishing in a paper. I would think that a difference in diagnostic practices could add a lot to the explanation, especially the East-West split in Germany. Here's an interesting paper that looks at the "French paradox" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1115846/ - the proposed time lag hypothesis could also be relevant to the German phenomenon.

BonHair posted:I'm betting the way and tradition of reporting cause of death also has a bit to say in those statistics. The French may just be more poetic and write "he died from living the life of a true Frenchman", where the same guy would be described by a German as "dead from cardiac arrest caused by massive cholesterol". Or something less exaggerated and related to underlying causes. They shouldn't be hard to track, provided the doctor fully and accurately reports the primary and secondary causes of death as well as the progression of diagnoses/symptoms. Most European countries have a more or less digital system to examine the entire death certificate and discern the underlying cause, which is what gets reported to e.g. Eurostat.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:The colour scheme here and the the big northern fellas having double wide borders really fucks with my colour blindness here. What's the difference between the lavenders and the greys, and why did Canada make up for the loss of half of Hans Island by annexing Greenland and deploying a weather machine to take providensky and chukotsky's worst bits as a whole new island It's not about the borders, it's a demonstration of different map projections. Mercator, which is seen on class room maps the world over and makes the global north look way bigger than it really is vs. one that has the equator - GMT intersection in the middle and more accurately reflects the sizes of the continents

I saw a video of the evolution of Poland's borders, and as far as I could tell there is not one square centimeter of territory that has consistently been Polish (even ignoring the times when the whole country was annexed by one or more neighbors) since it's first founding

The cardinal sin of that map is that it's showing raw prices with no correction for mean income or cost of living. Although it's not a particularly precise measure of individual wealth, this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita maps pretty well to the variation in the gas price map.

Blut posted:It maps roughly yeah, but there are some exceptions - Ireland and Austria being the two most glaring. Their income levels could both support much more expensive petrol prices. Austria could benefit from proximity to eastern Europe, Ireland might have special deals related to their (previously?) very low corporate tax rate? Just speculating ofc but really those two examples don't disprove anything. I don't feel like running the numbers but let's say it explains more than 75% of the variation - I'd call that a pretty strong correlation for just one factor and IMO a good enough reason to dismiss the original hypothesis

Skios posted:I remember watching a documentary in high school on Australian indigenous people who still lived mostly traditionally. One thing that stood out starkly was that while the men did the hunting, it was actually the women gathering grubs and trapping lizards that made up the majority of the protein in their diet. That's true of most hunter gatherer societies and it kind of makes it seem like hunting is just busywork for unruly males but remember that hunting yields more than just protein, such as horn, bone and fur. If you're at all territorial, it's also a good opportunity to patrol the range.

steinrokkan posted:What time period is this and what political leanings? It has post WWI borders for Germany / Austria, but it seems to give far too leeway to the British / Americans / Russians, and too little credit to Italy to be made by Nazis. On the other hand it assumes that China's gonna be conquered by Japan? Which would be against the Weimar policy, along with the more obviously problematic "conquer France and all our former colonies" pickle. Sure but the others least had an established relationship, however unequal it may have been: US plus its hegemony over South America, UK and its colonies, the rest of Europe and their colonies, Russia et al. China+Japan as a united bloc is nonsense, regardless of when the map was made

Local politics are always weird, and should not be expected to conform to the dividing lines on national issues. Counteruntuitive coalitions like that usually mean that the party left out has been in power so long it takes it for granted and that a purge of leadership is in order.
