Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Science is a process, not a set of facts. Scientific models are simple to begin with, and as we learn from them, they become more complex. The answers that come from simple models are replaced with the answers that come from more complex models.
#2 I use oversimplified models all the time. For example, the Truth about muscles is that they get longer and shorter, which is how you’re able to move. Your muscle’s attachment points, which are often referred to as origin and insertion, are able to move away from each other without detachment and reattachment, thank goodness.
#3 The author of the article was incorrect in saying that the amount a muscle can lengthen and shorten is predetermined. Your body can change the number of sarcomeres between each attachment point, which determines how much a muscle can lengthen and shorten.
#4 The human body is a great example of how a narrow perspective can persist even at advanced levels when there is no robust system in place that notifies everyone when there are developments in scientific findings.

#1

Science is a process, not a set of facts. Scientific models are simple to begin with, and as we learn from them, they become more complex. The answers that come from simple models are replaced with the answers that come from more complex models.

#2

I use oversimplified models all the time. For example, the Truth about muscles is that they get longer and shorter, which is how you’re able to move. Your muscle’s attachment points, which are often referred to as origin and insertion, are able to move away from each other without detachment and reattachment, thank goodness.

#3

The author of the article was incorrect in saying that the amount a muscle can lengthen and shorten is predetermined. Your body can change the number of sarcomeres between each attachment point, which determines how much a muscle can lengthen and shorten.

#4

The human body is a great example of how a narrow perspective can persist even at advanced levels when there is no robust system in place that notifies everyone when there are developments in scientific findings.

#5

The obstetrical dilemma is the idea that human labor is so difficult because our pelvis is so wide, but if our pelvis was wider it would take more energy to walk, and so the tradeoff for being bipedal is difficult labors.

#6

The assumption that women are less efficient walkers than men is based on a simple model. You and your parts, your organs, knees, breasts, balls, and biome, don’t exist in a vacuum. You’re a trillion-part meatball, responding to the ideas in your head, the food in your fridge, the air in your lungs, and the people in your day planner.

#7

When it comes to proof, you can’t expect to find a single study that will show you everything. Instead, you should expect to find lots of articles that support different aspects of an idea.

#8

The research process is similar for me: I think of a question, and then I go look up the answers. From these answers, I create a list of how they are different, and then I go look up different musculoskeletal ailments and see that excessive hip flexion is a risk factor for them.

#9

When striving for an evidence-based life, consider that your most relevant evidence is your body. If your body works and feels great, no worries; what you’re doing is apparently working for you. If you’re experiencing an issue, expand the evidence you’ve considered.

#10

The quick and/or rude dismissal of new information is not the most scientific course of action. Refusing to investigate new ideas, reexamine old ones, and hold space for progress limits science.
