What led to the emergence of the first states, thousands of years ago?
People often say agriculture, but the first large-scale societies didn't appear until 4000 years after the advent of agriculture. The answer may be growing grain, specifically. 🧪 #history

Easily taxed grains were crucial to the birth of the first states
The cultivation of wheat, barley and maize, which are easily stored and taxed, seems to have led to the emergence of large societies, rather than agriculture generally

New evidence that twin estimates of heritability should be adjusted downward by about half
So there you have it, twin study estimates were greatly inflated, and molecular data sets the record straight. I walk through possible counter-arguments, but ultimately the uncomfortable truth is that genes contribute to traits much less than we always thought.

Great thread on how to understand what "low" birth rates and "below replacement fertility" really means for likely future population trends. (TL;DR: we're not headed for imminent population collapse!)

Consumer sentiment remained flat in October, compared to the previous month. But history shows a prolonged federal shutdown can impact how people feel about the economy.
