Det säger nationalekonomen Erik Wengström som har studerat svenskarnas beteenden och attityder under pandemin. Efter ett och ett halvt år med pandemirelaterade restrikt

Återberättade händelser om våld förvanskas beroende på vem som återberättar och vilket våld det handlar om. Det leder till att media och människor förmedlar en skev bild av allvaret i det som faktiskt skett. Vissa händelser skattas allvarligare när de återberättas i efterhand och vice versa.

För omkring 540 miljoner år sedan uppstod plötsligt ett överflöd av liv i haven – en händelse som har kommit att kallas den kambriska explosionen.

Men ny forskning av geobiologen Emma Hammarlund vid Lunds universitet vänder nu upp och ner på vad man trott varit sant i decennier. Hur hamnade hon på ett helt
