Just watching #RobertSapolsky talk about #fainting and ideas of why. He doesn't really cover fainting in nonhuman animals, but I've seen a chicken faint in traumatic circumstance and slowly recover afterwards. He suggests that it's especially adaptive for humans because we're bipedal so getting a bit of enforced horizontal time is likely to be good for preventing some kinds of blood loss ... well I suppose chickens are also bipedal, but...? 🤔
