+Ha ha, [those _Less Wrong_ guys sure love dolphins for whatever reason!](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/vhp2sW6iBhNJwqcwP/blood-is-thicker-than-water) [(Alternative viewer.)](https://www.greaterwrong.com/posts/vhp2sW6iBhNJwqcwP/blood-is-thicker-than-water) Note that the "root of the causal graph" argument here for the relevance of phylogenetics is equivalent to [the case that sex chromosomes are a good way to operationalize _sex_ in humans](/2021/May/sexual-dimorphism-in-the-sequences-in-relation-to-my-gender-problems/#chromosomes)—it's not that anyone directly sees chromosomes on a day-to-day basis; it's that chromosomes are the "switch" upstream of the development of all other sex differences. Talking about the setting of the switch (which you don't _intrinsically_ care about) is a concise way to sum over the many, many high-dimensional details that you do care about.
