Old people: "I hate how rap music glorifies gun violence!"

Also old people: "My favorite movie? Well Dirty Harry is up there. I mean, that one scene where he puts the 45 magnum in his face! Clint Eastwood is so cool.

>Any study into rebellion is going to be difficult to gauge because what constitutes 'rebellion' in the context of family and upbringing is going to vary wildly between families and even individuals.

There probably are some straightforward ways of getting at this. I wonder why you can't just ask the participant to rank on a Likert Scale how much they agree with statements like "my personal values contrast with my parents" or "my actions contrast with those of my nuclear family". As long as you don't code it in charged language, people, in Western countries at least, are open about this stuff.

Real issue I take is, I can't help but feel like birth order effects would vary, and be moderated by things like sibling closeness, age, or perceived sibling social status. Like, I can see an opposite effect to tje rebel hypothesis for people particularly close to their siblings, while those who are less close would be more likely to strive to be unique.

One possibility is that bipedalism evolved because it allowed us to free up our hands, allowing us to carry resources. Another is the endurance running hypothesis: that we evolved to become good long distance runners, and this shaped our legs.

I wouldn't assume that just because a trait evolved, like our hands wrinkling in the water, that it must have been evolutionarily adaptive. Sometimes our bodies evolve weird quirks, and there's no actual benefit, but also no cost to our actual fitness. E.g hair graying in our elder years.
