M.M. Sandin et al. (preprint, 2025) "inferred a timeline of #eukaryoteevolution using molecular clock and birth-death diversification models". They used a "#dataset of 75,975 non-redundant...#taxonomicunits and 77 well-supported fossil calibrations" and reconstructed an #evolutionary #diversification of #eukaryote #crowngroup representatives in the Proterozoic (ca. 2.5 billion to 541 million y. ago).

#MissKittyPolitics Guaranteed a world wide civil war because this is #psychic #evolutionary #moment. There is a movement among those trained to go beyond and bring it back & now they just want credit. #Finitists and #Ultra-Finitists mathematicians and physicists are #facsist in #quality of thinking.

All-new in SEP, Jason Marsh's Evolutionary Approaches to Religion, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/religion-evolutionary/

Davin Hunt and Linda Zagzebski have also revised their "classical" entry on Foreknowledge and Free Will, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/free-will-foreknowledge/. I still remember studying that article for the first time. The theme was of no interest to me, but Zagzebski's skill in thinking aloud just fascinated a philosophically infested fellow earthling.

Great discussion about what & why certain foods are healthy, & why so much unhealthy food is consumed.

The Microbiome with Katrine Whiteson | Evolutionary Psychology (the podcast)

In this episode, we talk with Katrine Whiteson (UC Irvine) about her amazing work studying the human microbiome. We cannot stress enough how much we learned from this episode, from how to prevent your gut bacteria from becoming trashed by antibiotics, how to shop for food that will feed your healthy microbes and prevent blood sugar spikes. Other topics include: what's missing form our modern gut bacteria, the relationship between eating, cancer, and immune function, hunting for phages, and much more. A great example of using evolution to better understand our health.  More about Katrine Whiteson:https://www.faculty.uci.edu/profile/?facultyId=6103https://kwhiteson.bio.uci.edu/

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.
