Richard Dawkins explains the binary nature of sex and describes the significance of this to the understanding of inheritance in general, both for Charles Darwin and for us today .
Author Iona Italia was publicly disowned by the American Humanist Association after a tweet inviting discussion about the habit of “identifying as’s”.
The one -drop rule’ asserted that one drop of African “blood” was enough to make a person count as black.
James Morris’s choice to identify as a woman and his gruelling and costly transition to Jan Morris earned our deep respect for that very reason.
The binary nature of sex nearly handed Charles Darwin the key to discovering the genetic laws now correctly attributed to Gregor Mendel .
Jenkin and Darwin wrongly assumed that heredity was “blending’ and that children were a kind of fluid mixture of mother and father: intermediate, like mixing paint.
Genes (as they are now called) are particulate. Heredity is digital, not analogue, and inheritance is Mendelian .
