Fucking retracted papers? Models that are irreproducible? Have you ever participated in peer review?

Because I’m a scientist and I know from being in the field that a lot of studies are wrong.

I haven’t read the methods. But at the very outset, I question the modeling of birth and death rates from ages before the advent of agriculture. This, immediately, gives me pause.

Easy to miss on mobile. And I assume you’ve read this and examined the primary data? And you understand the methods? Because science is not trivial.

Data and methods, please. Why are you not skeptical?

Genuinely interesting, but I take it with a good dose of default skepticism.
