The fact the male giraffes uniquely wrestle for dominance by "necking" and "head clubbing" one another, with males with the longest necks and heaviest heads tending to win, has been forwarded as evidence to support the hypothesis.
He also has an eye for modern applications, and offers detailed discussion of the relevance of the Riemann hypothesis to cryptographic security as well as an interesting account of its possible links with quantum physics.
And while some cellular mechanisms have been discovered that may lend plausibility to a vitamin D hypothesis, there are as of yet no convincing data that allow us to draw conclusions about vitamin D and these diseases.
Schizophrenia certainly qualifies as a condition subject to the Cochran Hypothesis.
There are broader issues concerning the ways that societies make war, the appropriateness of particular political systems for mass conflict and the efforts to mobilise technical and intellectual resources, which might well have provided a more coherent frame through which to test the hypothesis that the two wars should be treated as one.
