Intelligence on Earth Evolved Independently at Least Twice
https://www.wired.com/story/intelligence-evolved-at-least-twice-in-vertebrate-animals/
One of the interesting things that happened once #animals #evolved was that they started to make holes in the #sediment. This not only opened a new niche once they figured out how to dig but also changed how some elements (e.g., sulfur) exchanged with the water above. (https://www.nature.com/articles/ngeo2537).
Already in the late Ediacaran, some things began to go into the sediment (https://doi.org/10.1130/G32807.1), which opened up the sediment from diffusive to advective mode of flux (https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2022.1039193).
“And yeah, some #white dudes are. #Trump & all his #MAGA buddies are out there making it worse, shouting #nonsense in their #stupid red hats & acting like they speak for us when they don’t. All they’ve ever done is screw us over.”
“But if you’re not on the MAGA train, where do you go? Isn’t it just swapping out one crappy option for another?

“Hey, White Dudes! So, I think we’re all pretty sick of hearing how much we suck. Every time you go online, it’s the same story: we’re the problem.

The #sunflower family tree revealed that flower symmetry #evolved multiple times independently, a process called convergent #evolution, among the members of this large #plant family, according to a new analysis.

It’s simple to understand if you just look at #evolution.
We #evolved in extremely small #tribes with very little interaction with outside groups for most of our evolutionary history.
Detecting #differences kept us alive.
Our #tribalism is expressed as
#facets of our #cultures. #Religion for instance. #Fashion #trends also come from this.
When #vertebrates first conquered the land, they encountered a #visual world that was radically different from that of their #aquatic ancestors.
@neurofishh looks at how eyes #evolved to cope with the move from seeing through water to seeing through air.
#Lesbian swimmer #DianaNyad revises her stance on #trans #athletes, expressing #regret for any #harm caused.
In a 2022 #WashingtonPost #oped, she argued against #including #trans #women in #elite #women’s #sports #teams. However, Nyad now reveals her #views have #evolved after 'a lot of #DeepDive #thinking,' #advocating for #equality for all #trans #individuals in #sports.

The #Theory That #Men #Evolved to #Hunt and #Women #Evolved to #Gather Is #Wrong.
The #influential #idea that in the past men were hunters and women were not isn’t #supported by the available #evidence

As #humans #evolved to hunt, gather and share food, cooperation provided a key to our success as a species. While #chimpanzees and other #primates sometimes share food, humans stand out. As hunter-gatherers — the subsistence strategy that all humans followed until the invention of #agriculture

#Romantic #heterosexual relationships in #humans may have #evolved from #same-sex pairings in a common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees, according to a novel hypothesis by a researcher at The University of Texas at Austin.

“Human #follicular #mites: #ectoparasites becoming #symbionts” (Smith et al. 2022)
Do you think about the mites that live in your #face #follicles and come out at #night while you #sleep? Maybe you should!
They’ve #evolved a tiny #genome.
Each leg segment is powered by only one #muscle cell.
They follow your sleep cycles by responding to your #melatonin.
Lowest number of cells of any #arthropod.
If you find this intriguingly #weird, this paper is for you! 
Curtin University researchers have revealed how the #pelvic #fins of fish such as #sharks and #chimaeras have #evolved from their sudden appearance in the fossil record over 410 million years ago.

More than 7,000 #languages are spoken in the world. This #linguistic diversity is passed on from one generation to the next, similarly to #biological traits. But have #language and #genes #evolved in parallel over the past few thousand years

Tasty, fun to catch, and excellent models of speciation! Salmonids have it all! 
Specifically, co-ocurring (aka #sympatric) #salmonid #morphs that have #evolved recently, repeatedly, and independently can be thought of as natural replicates of #speciation!
Intrigued? Check out this talk I recently gave on "Evolutionary Insights from Sympatric Salmonid Morphs" at the #FishBase Salmonid Symposium at the Swedish Museum of Natural History!
