>actually cold weather hypothesis explains eskimos quite well, it's more about climatic changeabilty
Asia has more climactic changeability than Europe as well. Which is probably why Asians have higher IQs than Europeans. They get just as cold (or colder) winters, but also experience harsh summers and all around hostile (but still within the realm of manageable) environments.

Europe is cool, but it is also extremely mild and static compared to Asia. The cold weather may have selected for "plan ahead" traits, but the staticness of the climate meant it never got as far as NE Asia.

Compare this to Australoids who inhabited SEAsia, which is undebatably the easiest mass environment on planet earth. They underwent a famous Genghis-tier expansion due to the riches here (haplogroup K2), but degenerated and were conquered almost completely by northern Mongoloids (haplogroup O). They also have the lowest IQs on earth.

Anyone have a nice guide on getting started with Coq?
I recall reading about some video lecture series (about the professor using coq within emacs) in an earlier thread a while ago but I can't find the source.

not the words, just the picture

I'm in my second year of my maths undergrad, doing algebra for the first time. Right now we're on group theory and this is all just doing my head in. My professors notes are pretty rubbish so I need suggestions for a good books to teach yourself algebra that even a beginner would understand

yeah that's my point of view too, but as I learned and still learn more math, what was once nearly nonsensical seems rather intuitive now

it is good to remember that we didn't evolve to learn the secrets of the universe, merely deal with our environment at a medium sized scale, all things considered I'd say we're doing pretty well

Hey guys,
We are starting a new /sci/ Discord server as a place for discussion of math and science related topics, as well as a nice place to hang out for all those who frequent our board. We are building this from the ground up and would very much appreciate your help.

Brainlet undergrad here.
Is there any rule of thumb to determine whether reaction goes by monomolecular or bimolecular mechanism?

Thanks in advance.

There's no unique solution. We need to know at least two angles subtending w and/or at least two other lengths or something. Correct me if I'm wrong
