DeleteStructural or environmental factor also can explain or help to explain a little part of it as hyper-cultural masculinization in apefreakan societies. Extreme higher levels of individual masculine competition ( lower preponderance of female-like intelligence or cooperative intelligence combined with "culture" of the "macacho" or primitive alpha male result in violence, poverty and lack of infraestructure)
ReplyDeleteSantoculto hbd-hater-und-sic!
Sorry, need to contact me in advance, as described in post.
ReplyDeleteWill the proceedings be posted online? Is there a way to read the papers without attending?
ReplyDeleteAlso, what review process was in place for the papers?
Proceedings will be posted online, with contact details for authors. Sometimes there are Powerpoint presentations available. Speakers are invited from among current researchers based on recommendations, so it is not a general invitation to submit papers at the moment, though that may change in future. Iconoclasts preferred.
