We're truly at a psychic #evolutionary pivot. I don't know if the spaceships are going to come & take half of us away and leave the idiots to kill themselves or what the fuck is going to happen. But this shit has to change and the killers have to be locked up. They just have to be fucking locked up.

#Sarcoptes #scabiei var. hominis (#Astigmata, Acariformes) is a skin-#parasitic #mite that feeds on human #epidermal cells. Infection typically occurs via adult, mated #females.The mite has #subspecies found on both #domestic and #wild #animals. The #evolutionary direction was via #humanancestors to humans and from there #spreading first to domestic animals and then to wild animals (see ref).

#Darin #Smith from #Wyoming is just one of the punks that puts a #suit on that stupid ass shit. Other people have said with similar but different words the same thing that #MissKitty claims. We're at an #evolutionary pivot. This one is a #mind pivot. There is clearly a lower respectability of mind.

New dinosaur fossils could provide evolutionary clues: study

Scientists have said fossils of a small newly discovered dinosaur found in Spain could change ideas on the evolution of ornithopods.

🐟The unique #geomorphology of #rivers in the eastern #Himalaya has long intrigued geologists.

🐟Here, Sui et al. use a cold-adapted #fish genus as a #biogeographic proxy to reconstruct the #evolutionary history of one such river.

Consciousness with Michael Graziano | Evolutionary Psychology (the podcast)

Consciousness: is it really that hard of a problem? In this episode, we talk to our favorite mechanistically-minded (and possibly clearest) thinker about consciousness we've had the pleasure to stumble across, Michael Graziano (Princeton). Topics include why consciousness has been so hard to study, what it is, and what future (evolutionary) work on consciousness would look like.
