Science Forum
Just working my way through the web logs for SciScoop and pulled out the most-visited stories from April, they’re all fairly controversial topics and all still available for comment and discussion, so feel free to check them out:
Save the Earth by Killing 90% of the Humans…
Race differences in average IQ are largely genetic
“Backward Evolution” Spawns Ape-like People
Claim of reversed human evolution provokes skepticism, interest
Incidentally, and it’s really only a matter of ego, when you view the Alexa results for sciencebase, sciscoop, or indeed any other blog-based sites, you are not seeing anything like a true representation of their total visitor numbers because a large proportion of blog traffic does not originate in search engine results but from the blog aggregators, RSS news readers, and shared bookmarks sites like del.icio.us, digg, and technorati.
