Housecat Reproduction
So 109 if starting with 1 female ( and an adjacent male ) for 9 years of births ( ie 7 years after 100 cats ) with each birth producing 10 female kittens/liter/female offspring. Do the parents and grandparents die off or become sterile? From Post #6- 256bits

Housecat Reproduction
I guestimated the population growth as if the cats procreated by mitosis, leaving the parents unable to contribute to the population after having one episode of fertilization, gestation and birth of young. The growth period of the young and time to maturity was assumed to be zero ( an...- 256bits

Housecat Reproduction
Someone will surely show the error in my guestimate. 2n would be for something like bacteria or cell division. It neglects that real world where mommas and poppas cats can keep on producing offspring for the while timespan under investigation. Perhaps the value should be closer to a trillion...- 256bits

Housecat Reproduction
2 30 = 1,073,741,824 Each litter of 4 kittens in average 2 of each sex. Only the female can reproduce, on average again every 4 months. I would guessimate that starting with 100 cats, approx 2 8 = 128 then we have 9 years of cat production ( 2 years initial for the 100 cats + 7 more years...- 256bits

Why are all NFL lineman tall?
One would think that against a heavier brute, one could just outrun them. Looking a brute athlete, that is an invalid assumption, as they have a fair chance of outcompeting 99% of the regular population, in general categories of speed, agility, strength, quickness, explosive power, quick thinking.- 256bits

Why are all NFL lineman tall?
Does Sumo have height-weight categories - if not then a 5ft8inch against a larger opponent would need better technique, or something else, quickness, agility, to overcome against a heavier opponent, who may not be stronger just due to the size differential.- 256bits

Remote Controlled Bowling Ball using Gyroscopes
What coefficient of friction are you looking at between the ball and the lane? Most lanes, professional anyways vs the public ones, are oiled. The 'turn left now' will surely have a delay.- 256bits

Humans evolved faster after farming, wheels and metal working arose

That would be the region of social behavioral genetics, which I believe there is something there but easily misinterpreted ( and probably has an influence on some social constructs that we see today, or have seen ie forced sterilization of the poor and eugenics ) From the writeup of the study...- 256bits
