This is from Darwin's Chorus, a collaboration with Canton Becker. We'll be showing it at Currents New Media in Santa Fe next month! It's a real-time evolutionary simulation that evolves ambient soundscapes from the aggregate of mating calls. Built on swimbots.com #alife #ambient #art #evolutionary

Decade-long warming accelerates antibiotic resistance in grassland soils - Nature

Decade-long warming increased soil antibiotic-resistance genes by about 24%, enriching resistant microbes and gene transfer, driven by selection for thermal tolerance and linked traits, with implications for public health.

If the #evolutionary layer explains why humans are primed to detect agency, and the #developmental layer explains how gods get installed before thought exists, and the cognitive layer explains how projection hardens into doctrine, the social layer explains how doctrine becomes infrastructure.

What a ‘post-antibiotic era’ could mean for modern medicine

The drugs that transformed medicine are losing their power, raising fears of a post-antibiotic era in which common infections kill.

P.S.Villar et al. (2026) studied #evolutionary aspects of the #copulatoryorgan in #male #octopuses and describe it as #multifunctional organ that performs two key #functions: the #hectocotylus is a specialized tentacle that delivers #spermatophores into the #female's #mantlecavity. But the authors identified it also as #chemotactile #receptor for #progesterone during #materecognition.

I just reread the whole thing like I do before I hit post. The answer is that it's #essential. This is starting to go real wide for some of you but I have said that we are at an #evolutionary #psychic #pivot. So what I'm talking about is birth of a new #civilization. A door is standing available.
