I'm sorry, I truly don't follow what you're trying to say. What does the "also" mean, it's always the same story! There's no additional information, it's always about the same study about the same parasite on the same group of wolves!

I'm not pulling your leg, I truly don't follow your point.



Looking at both Articles' time-stamps, you will see;

2022-11-25 UTC 02:39:08 Grey wolves infected with this parasite are more likely to become pack leaders

2022-11-25 UTC 09:44:33 Parasite gives wolves what it takes to be pack leaders

Obviously; Grey wolves infected with this parasite are more likely to become pack leaders

Precedes; Parasite gives wolves what it takes to be pack leaders

Hence my post.

"More likely to become pack leaders" simply means "more likely to leave and start their own family", right?

Is the last time-stamped of the 5 posts to that thread, so you saw these other posts in the thread;

There's no need to post my user information as if it were hard to get. This is public information and any HN user knows how to find it.

It also feels very random, like it doesn't connect at all with any part of our conversation.
