Paper__ schizophrenia and left‐handedness are strongly related to per capita scientific achievement

Still following the paper in the link above see another one below. One of the funniest parts of the paper is when the authors wrote that Iceland may never receive a science Nobel prize: "Iceland's very small, homogenous population renders it statistically relatively unlikely that it will produce someone capable of winning such a prize" 

See below Fig 2 showing Science Nobel prizes as a function of the proportion of lefthanded individuals in the population. The ordinate shows the square root of the number of prizes divided by the population in millions, and the abscissa shows the proportion of lefthanded in the population.
