Notes

1 The call to remove the experimenter from the analysis is so powerful that young scientists are often instructed to write in the passive voice – “the temperature was raised,” rather than “I raised the temperature” – to make it seem rhetorically as if the experimenter's presence is so irrelevant that it can safely be ignored.

2 Each one of the septillion ancestors recurs many times in the actual pedigree, reflecting how inbred we all are.

3 This is about the human population in the Neolithic, which was not large by modern standards, but was certainly considerably larger than two, despite the coincidence of the age calculated for the common ancestry of living people with the age of the cosmos assumed by “young-earth creationists.”

4 All quotations are taken from the oxfordancestors.com website.

5 The cultural anthropologist Paul Rabinow has called the construction of fictive kin relations on the basis of ostensibly natural data “bio-sociality.”
