Dunbar's hugely influential social bonding hypothesis for the evolution of human language, music, & dance is based on the putative increase in primate grooming time with group size. These are the supporting data, including a confound with substrate pointed out by others 🧪 #BioAnth 1/3

Three scatterplots of grooming time vs. group size in 73 primate species. Each displays considerable variation in grooming time that is mostly unrelated to group size but clearly related to substrate: terrestrial species (high grooming time) vs. arboreal species (low grooming time)

#statistics thought of the day:Is an EHR randomization defective? Simple example contrasting frequentist and Bayesian inference. Would you rather have Pr(getting MORE heads than what we observed if a coin is fair),or Pr(Pr(heads) is outside [0.48, 0.52])? #stats #rstats hbiostat.org/bayes/bet/ev...
