| Ask Anything Wednesday - Economics, Political Science, Linguistics, Anthropology Posted: 20 Apr 2022 07:00 AM PDT Welcome to our weekly feature, Ask Anything Wednesday - this week we are focusing on Economics, Political Science, Linguistics, Anthropology Do you have a question within these topics you weren't sure was worth submitting? Is something a bit too speculative for a typical /r/AskScience post? No question is too big or small for AAW. In this thread you can ask any science-related question! Things like: "What would happen if...", "How will the future...", "If all the rules for 'X' were different...", "Why does my...". Asking Questions: Please post your question as a top-level response to this, and our team of panellists will be here to answer and discuss your questions. The other topic areas will appear in future Ask Anything Wednesdays, so if you have other questions not covered by this weeks theme please either hold on to it until those topics come around, or go and post over in our sister subreddit /r/AskScienceDiscussion , where every day is Ask Anything Wednesday! Off-theme questions in this post will be removed to try and keep the thread a manageable size for both our readers and panellists. Answering Questions: Please only answer a posted question if you are an expert in the field. The full guidelines for posting responses in AskScience can be found here. In short, this is a moderated subreddit, and responses which do not meet our quality guidelines will be removed. Remember, peer reviewed sources are always appreciated, and anecdotes are absolutely not appropriate. In general if your answer begins with 'I think', or 'I've heard', then it's not suitable for /r/AskScience. If you would like to become a member of the AskScience panel, please refer to the information provided here. Past AskAnythingWednesday posts can be found here. Ask away! [link] [comments] |

| What was the purpose of painting the base of ancient Roman houses red? Posted: 20 Apr 2022 12:29 AM PDT We often see that the outside walls of houses in ancient Rome were painted red along the base and that this was quite common. Why? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2022 05:47 AM PDT I was talking to a friend about allergies, and we were talking about how she had an allergy to shrimp, I had no known allergies, and our other friend had an allergy to lamb meat specifically. We are all humans, but each individual shows a different set of allergies to foods. This got me wondering if the same happens with wild animals. Could a population of lions have one lion with an allergy to a certain type of meat the others eat with no problem? Are allergies filtered out of wild populations because having one would put you at too much of a disadvantage for mating? [link] [comments] |

| What is the reason for not using ethanol etc. historically as a widely distributed fuel source? Posted: 19 Apr 2022 10:40 PM PDT A question about fuels and historical fuel preferences. Arguably one of the strongest historical factors for the advancement and industrialisation of modern civilisation is the exploitation and usage of fossil fuels, particularly oil and petroleum products. Why did we not use distilled alcohol in the same way, or to the same extent? It would seem logistically better to use a resource we were already producing as oppose to inventing an entirely new industry , mining, milling, refining, coking, etc to access high calorific substances. Plus high % alcohol distillation is essentially renewable and always available. I've been thinking about filters for the Fermi paradox, and a random event 65m years ago giving access to oil in large quantities looks like a gap bridge for wide scale top level industrialisation. I know coal would have still been available, so you can still get to the steam era. Is it all solely down to the high calorific content of oil and it's products? [link] [comments] |

| What percentage of postnatal infant's hand-preference is consistent with later life hand-preference? Posted: 19 Apr 2022 10:54 PM PDT The majority of infants have a hand preference starting at age 6 months and is kept by the 18th months according to studies. Does anyone know if this hand-preference is kept throughout life or changes in the later stages of the infant's development? [link] [comments] |
