I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others’ words. Weird, isn’t it?

  • However, F. drudeana belongs to a lineage from the southern Caspian Sea region, with no known connection to Eastern Libya.

    A criticism of this hypothesis centers on geographic ranges: silphium grew in North Africa while F. drudeana is native to Turkey. A 2018 study resolved F. drudeana as a narrowly endemic species restricted to a tiny range in Turkey’s Adana and Kayseri Provinces, descended from Central Asian Ferula, and having no connection to North Africa. All previously studied North African Ferula belong to a well-distinct and monophyletic group containing the widespread Ferula communis and its more localized relatives from the Western and Central Mediterranean; there is no indication that any other lineage of Ferula ever occurred west of the Aegean/Black Sea region. Miski’s 2021 paper does not address evidence for F. drudeana having originated in the southern Caspian Sea region.

    Another criticism focuses on the 2021 paper’s methodology, which does not account for observations about Ferula which were published in 2008. Morphological studies could misleadingly suggest a relationship with silphium, as the external appearance of Ferula varies highly within clades: individuals within the Ferula genus often resemble unrelated species rather than closely related species. Similarly, evidence in the form of folk medicine uses is — at best — an equivocal indicator.




  • Isn’t that just checking the power? If there’s no way for a power to check another power, that’s absolute chaos. And confirmation by the senate doesn’t mean the judge will listen to the senate’s every single bidding. The only thing that makes judges “beholden” to the legislature is impeachment, and that’s pretty hard. You may as well say the executive is beholden to the legislature. And it’s not like the US ever had direct presidential elections.

    Judges’ lifetime appointment system on good behavior is meant to prevent them from being chosen by electioneering while still reflecting the opinions of the populace through being selected for nomination by the president. Though under Trump, they’re pretty much selected through internal election under the Federalist Society anyways.
