Now let's say you're hiring for a neurosurgeon. Does this information help you?

No - you're not looking at "all men" and "all women", you never are. In this case, you're looking at the people who applied to this job.

When women are underrepresented within a speciality, female applicants have, on average, better CVs than their counterparts. (Another way of saying this is that men in a male-dominated speciality are more likely to apply to jobs they might be a little underqualified for.) And you've got other factors going into this too - can't say for certain in any particular case whether a disparity is primarily discrimination based or primarily inclination, but even if it's the latter, how inclined to be a neurosurgeon the average woman is tells you fuck-all about your actual interview candidates. If it's even a little bit the former, then the chances are that the women are actually a little better than their CVs would lead you to conclude.

That demographic information is much more likely to steer you wrong than it is to help you. And it is likely to steer you wrong - humans find it really really hard to grasp that a statement like that can simultaneously be true and provide them as an individual with no useful information.

This is true in other situations as well! Most demographic statistics about Men and Women are also not likely to provide useful information about, say, whether people you meet at a party will share your interests, because once you factor in that a) most of that science actually isn't great for various reasons and b) any party you go to is not a public survey sample, the predictive value of anything you read about Mars and Venus in a magazine is smaller than the lowest probability you can usefully casually think about.

Frankly most humans can only conceive of x different probabilities in casual thought: definitely not, probably not, coin flip, probably and definitely.

Maybe some rare people are not like this or have trained themselves not to be like this, but most people are.

Telling people that something isn't "coin flip" moves their thinking to at least "probably/probably not". People find it incredibly difficult to fathom that something can be technically true but not useful for them to make predictions off, and that certainly won't occur to them spontaneously. In this way, true information can actually make people more wrong, if "coin flip" is practically speaking, within the situations they encounter, a closer approximation of the truth than "probably/probably not".

Primates are considered to be the ancestors of humans who include monkeys and chimpanzees. Both of these primates have always shown characteristics that resemble so much to humans that they have been part various research and analysis. Over the years, the relationship between monkeys and humans has undergone a number of changes especially in India due to increased instances of monkey problems all over the country.

Monkeys were and still in many places are considered to be holy creatures representing the Ramayana and Lord Hanuman. They were welcomed inside the temples, fed with bananas and milk and also prayed to. Though monkey menace had always been a nuisance in the countryside, with these creatures stealing food, hurting people and damaging the property, still their religious importance made people overlook all of this.

The cruelty towards these animals should not also be disregarded since performers in streets, circus and animal shows have always exploited monkeys to some extent. These animals also show behavior similar to animals where though they steal food and other things but harm others only when in danger. Some years back it could be easily said that monkeys never harm humans or create nuisance until humans try to harm them. But today the situation is little different.

Although monkey population in cities and villages have extended to a significant number, but it is also a fact that any animal including monkeys is habitual to living in the wild. There are over 50 million monkeys in India alone and only a 24% of forest area which is the home to a number of other animals. Cities have extended to acres of the area which were once under forest covers making the monkey population to come out in the towns in search of food and water.

Monkeys being the primates closely related to humans can still survive in the towns while wild animals cannot. 50 million monkeys and the 1.2 billion humans sharing the same area and having the same traits of being selfish for food and or for shelter, it is not hard to believe why the both species are hostile to each other. This is the reason for an unprecedented increase in Monkey problems in India.

People of a number of cities have started complaining about the sudden rise in the monkey menace, creating a nuisance, stealing foods and damaging personal properties. A huge population of monkeys who have been homeless because of the destruction of their forests is now in cities. Monkeys are also defiant now.

Few years before monkeys could be easily tamed or captured to be left in the wild by experts but now they are defiant, hurting people and creating more nuisance. This defiance has led to this issue being in media and under the scrutiny of the local governments. There were reports of politicians offering money for killing these animals or to capture them. Even though this seems to be the easy, immediate action but it is morally and ethically wrong.

For whatever the consequences are maybe killing animals is wrong under any circumstances. There is no doubt that monkey population has increased significantly, and they are now more violent than they ever were but significant steps can easily curb this issue. Certain measures like vasectomy of animals or a close analysis as to why they are being violent and thus to try and bring the relationship to a better stand between monkeys and humans can help. But this is a long term process which will take years to show results.
