Algorithms must understand that when I like wild primate videos and skip pet primate videos I mean that shit
Do NOT show me a capuchin in a diaper EVER
God help you if I see a chimp in clothes
I said one COULD make an AWFUL pun LIKE that 😭
Whale evolution is insane because what do you mean all archeocetes which preserve the hind limbs have deer ankles? And what do you mean the first cetaceans were land-living carnivorous hoofed mammals with whale ear bones?
It’s such a gorgeous transition!
If memory serves, Martinon-Torres et al., 2024 has a bit on the dates for the fire? They reported personal communication with Berger and “very young dates”.
So I think we have our answer in the silence, for now 🙃
gibbon feature??? At last???
FR though women only want one thing and it’s disgusting
Basically, if the dates are right this Homo erectus got a big brain and migrated eastward faster than we thought.
AND ALSO smaller brained hominins persisted in their own way back in Africa, where they yielded Homo sapiens eventually.
The controversy of Yunxian 2 continues!
I don’t know enough about this type of dating method to evaluate it, but I think if this date is correct we’re looking at the oldest “Homo erectus” with a brain that large.
But I also think this will be a hard sell for many!

They’ve lost one already 😔
Happy Darwin Day!
Imagination in bonobos!
I am thrilled to share a new paper w/ Amalia Bastos, out now in @science.org
We provide the first experimental evidence that a nonhuman animal can follow along a pretend scenario & track imaginary objects. Work w/ Kanzi, the bonobo, at Ape Initiative

@skepchick.org has been so right this whole time that I’m getting secondhand vindication

All of genetics vs race realists (they’re citing something obscure from 1920)
The level of delusional you have to be to call that execution anything but is actually stunning
The ai had hit the gibbons 😔
Man the Afar region is getting crowded ~2.5 Ma!
who cares
Fuck ice
Epstein files?
Verbal assaults 😭
These people are the most fragile losers on the face of the planet
@tetzoo.bsky.social what cryptid is this Amazon plastic dog toy
I like to imagine (were she with us) that Amelia would love this 🙏
Dan you would love anything by Adam Laats. His background is public education, homeschooling, and creationism through the 1800s -now, both alone and how they interact with one another and the conservative right.
I'd also recommen American Genesis by Jeffery Morgan.
Cosigning some of this and adding that while YEC is dropping overall in the US, it seems to be *concentrating*. YEC becomes yet another litmus test for the Christian nationalists, a statement of commitment to the cause in the face of truth from evil progressive academics, more than anything else.
A video I made on Paranthropus hands: makes a passing joke about how I have a small head
Dogshit YouTube ai:
“Even the WOMEN see it!!!”
All the mundane activities hit different when your country is sinking further into blatant fascism don’t they?
I’m 30 today! Here’s one of my favorite pictures from being a kid… how sinister!
So jealous of the record!
Women be shoppin
I’m *so* jealous!
I thought it wasn’t included because you were hoping to complete the collection!
Man after man?? Is that the holy grail??
(Bc same)
This is so cool. As someone who used TKTL1 in the past as a potential example of the “sapiens edge” it’s fascinating that a handful of people get by perfectly well (and even excel) without it!
