Velociraptors and Hobbits; Plus, Study Says Studies Aren't True
Such interesting science news today! For example: Velociraptor had feathers. I'll try to find a link for it, but basically the research is based on little bumps on the velociraptor bones that are signs of plumage. New Scientist is all over the news:
'The scientists spotted the telltale bumps, to which feather quills attach, while re-examining Velociraptor bones unearthed in Mongolia in 1998. They say that the findings add to a body of evidence that feathers evolved for some purpose besides flight as Velociraptors were too big to lift off the ground.'
Probably for show, those feathers. Sexual competition. The velociraptors didn't just eat sneaky schemers, they also peacocked around, trying to get attention. A bunch of lounge lizards, they were.
'Turner suggests that feathers might have evolved to insulate body heat instead of to enable the dinosaurs to fly. It is also possible that Velociraptor used its feathers to manoeuvre while running or for mating display, he adds.'
Meanwhile, an analysis of the wrist bones of the "Hobbit" remains found on the island of Flores supports the thesis that this was an entirely separate species of human. New Scientist has that, too:
'The tiny, human-like creature living and using tools in Indonesia just 18,000 years ago really was a distinct species, not just a malformed modern human.
'That is the clear implication of a new study of the so-called "hobbit". It states that the creature had wrist bones almost identical to those found in early hominids and modern chimpanzees, and so must have diverged from the human lineage well before the origin of modern humans and Neanderthals.'
Newsweek has more, including a Q&A with the study's author:
What does this say about human evolution?
'It smashes the long-cherished scientific belief that our species, Homo sapiens, has had the Earth to ourselves for tens of thousands of years. It makes us realize how much more complicated our recent evolutionary history is. Before the hobbit was found, we thought that for the last 30,000 years or so, we'd been alone in the world, and that all the other earlier hominid forms that we see in the fossil record between one and 3 million years ago had died out. Now we know that not all of those lineages went extinct prior to one million years ago, and some lived all the way up to present time.'
The BBC site has lots of links to other Hobbit stories.
[The velociraptor and Hobbit reports are both in the latest issue of the journal Science.]

Speaking of science: This is a fascinating piece by Robert Lee Hotz, a science writer I've long admired (years ago when I judged a science contest and helped give him the award, but I can't remember what it was -- the AGU Walter Sullivan Award, maybe?). Hotz writes about medical scholar John Ioannidis, who believes that many scientific findings are exaggerated, at best. (As a nationally recognized Arbiter of Truth, I've long been pushing people to be more cautious in accepting the claims of "experts," especially those with grandiose titles like Arbiter of Truth.)
' These flawed findings, for the most part, stem not from fraud or formal misconduct, but from more mundane misbehavior: miscalculation, poor study design or self-serving data analysis. "There is an increasing concern that in modern research, false findings may be the majority or even the vast majority of published research claims," Dr. Ioannidis said. "A new claim about a research finding is more likely to be false than true."
'The hotter the field of research the more likely its published findings should be viewed skeptically, he determined.'
You can read Dr. Ioannidis's study here. Great title: "Why Most Published Research Findings Are False."
I fear it's tough slogging. I can barely understand a word of it. But some of the sub-heads are pretty clear, such as: Claimed Research Findings May Often Be Simply Accurate Measures of the Prevailing Bias.
