Retain as the author's reasoning; do not infer biological destiny, uniform religious practice or health advice.
Figure 47 schematizes ethanol → acetaldehyde → acetic acid. Endnote 78 p 286 acknowledges uncertainty about the expected spread of variants. Lack of spread does not independently establish adaptive benefit. Religious generalizations and historical dates need checking; flushing is not a safety guarantee.
Slingerland uses ADH/ALDH metabolism and persistence despite religious bans to argue for countervailing benefits of intoxication. He describes the interaction of genetic and cultural inheritance rather than a solely genetic account.

Evidence
Slingerland uses ADH/ALDH metabolism and persistence despite religious bans to argue for countervailing benefits of intoxication. He describes the interaction of genetic and cultural inheritance rather than a solely genetic account.
Location and context
Chapter 1, genes and norms; supplied PDF pages 43–58. These are file page numbers, not print pagination.
Figure 47 schematizes ethanol → acetaldehyde → acetic acid. Endnote 78 p 286 acknowledges uncertainty about the expected spread of variants. Lack of spread does not independently establish adaptive benefit. Religious generalizations and historical dates need checking; flushing is not a safety guarantee.
