minus-squareparaphrand@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·11 hours agoI hope so, that’s good to hear. Some people seem so pissed off when making such comments about “useless” studies. 😔

minus-squarechuckleslord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·8 hours agoYes, but it’s not necessarily the only way that would work. So this is very neat!
minus-squareKairos@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·9 hours agoIt is still interesting. I wonder if epigenetics plays a larger role, or if face look is tied to other random traits.
minus-squareangrystego@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 hours agoThe article says epigenetics don’t play much of a role in it, it’s all genetics.
