[New Book] The Illusion of Being Scientifically Right

[Financial News] Claims that invoke scientific terms and data may also conceal bias or vested interests. The new book "The Illusion of Being Scientifically Right" traces the reality of pseudoscience as it spreads through social networking services (SNS) and video media.
Evolutionary biologist Satoshi Chiba examines errors presented in the name of science through cases involving evolutionary studies, genetics, and ecology. The book explores eugenics, vaccine conspiracy theories, and the myth that left-handed people have shorter lifespans, highlighting how scientific knowledge is distorted by politics, power, and the media.
The author emphasizes that scientific facts should not be confused with value judgments. Chiba also warns readers to be wary of their own certainty that they are being objective. Since scientific conclusions can change with new data, the book encourages readers to examine the sources and evidence behind claims and reflect on their own views.
