🧠🦴 #UCL Professor of #Zoology Max Telford explains the evolutionary logic behind our body parts. By comparing human traits to those of other #mammals, researchers can better understand how specific features help a species survive and reproduce.

'textbooks create a misleading sense of certainty. They present the body as stable, universal and fully agreed upon. Real anatomy is messier than that'

New discoveries are showing how human anatomy is far from settled

We think the human body is fully mapped. In reality, anatomy is still incomplete, and shaped by who was studied, and who wasn’t.

Full network of clitoral nerves mapped out for first time

Anatomy of one of least studied human organs could improve outcomes for women who have pelvic surgery

Wonderful research!

That it’s taken so long to map this powerful & joyous organ reflects the fear of women that is ingrained so deeply into patriarchal cultures, including those of science, medicine & law. In some spaces it is as if the only safe woman is one who does not speak, cannot assert her own reality & exists only to provide service. Ignorance is their legacy.

Yay for our female scientists 🎉
