That is one righteous feral cat pile that has accumulated on my front porch staying out of the rain. #cats #catsofmastodon #feral
Merry Christmas from Daisy, Rommel, and Mothra! #cats
@bodomenke looks just like my late kitty Ollie, right down to the white tip on the tail.
@anandmallaya Good point. I read it shortly after I retired from teaching Genetics and Evolution. Were I still active, it is certainly a book I would use in undergraduate classes.
@anandmallaya Reich's book is excellent. Although he's a bit self-centered in his approach, it does provide reasons to understand why Svante Paabo received the Nobel Price in medicine this year. #genetics
@MarkJurva Excellent series of lectures. I watched them all and recommend them highly.

For nearly fifty years successive teams of researchers on both sides of the Atlantic have been working to track down all surviving letters written by or to Charles Darwin, research their content, and publish the complete texts. The thirtieth and final print volume, covering the last four months of Darwin’s life, will be published in early 2023 and all the letter texts – more than 15000 between 1822 and 1882 – are now published online. Discover more about the final months of Darwin's life in our Life and Letters series, 1882: Nothing too great or too small. See a full list of letters from 1882.

A question for #histodons : I’m pretty well read on American history, but I confess to being one of those who until recently had difficulty placing Ukraine on a map. Having now read some of Applebaum and Snyder, I’m wanting to learn about Polish history. Any suggestions where to start? #history
