This collection of common myths was compiled by “data journalist” David McCandles.
In regard to our perspective, what we think is influenced by our friends and family, as well as by the things we see. We also take a clue from the media, who themselves sometimes accidentally help perpetuate myths (watch this great TED talk by Hans Rosling). I also debunk 8 important myths about ecosystems in ecology (in this text here) and about evolution, if you’re still hungry for some knowledge.
