The controversy of Yunxian 2 continues! I don’t know enough about this type of dating method to evaluate it, but I think if this date is correct we’re looking at the oldest “Homo erectus” with a brain that large. But I also think this will be a hard sell for many! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Happy Darwin Day!

Imagination in bonobos! I am thrilled to share a new paper w/ Amalia Bastos, out now in @science.org We provide the first experimental evidence that a nonhuman animal can follow along a pretend scenario & track imaginary objects. Work w/ Kanzi, the bonobo, at Ape Initiative youtu.be/NUSHcQQz2Ko

@skepchick.org has been so right this whole time that I’m getting secondhand vindication youtu.be/ZoO9FZXUgv4?...

The level of delusional you have to be to call that execution anything but is actually stunning

The ai had hit the gibbons 😔

who cares Fuck ice Epstein files?

Verbal assaults 😭 These people are the most fragile losers on the face of the planet

@tetzoo.bsky.social what cryptid is this Amazon plastic dog toy

A video I made on Paranthropus hands: makes a passing joke about how I have a small head Dogshit YouTube ai:

All the mundane activities hit different when your country is sinking further into blatant fascism don’t they?

I’m 30 today! Here’s one of my favorite pictures from being a kid… how sinister!

This is so cool. As someone who used TKTL1 in the past as a potential example of the “sapiens edge” it’s fascinating that a handful of people get by perfectly well (and even excel) without it!

The good news about this administration exclusively doing stuff that’s consistently so bad is that we can rest assured that there will be consequences eventually! For us. The sins of the few will paid for by the lives of the many.

My ass got roasted today 😔

Best video I’ve seen on this topic! I learned a lot. youtu.be/irZt_Je-F70?...

LETS GOOOO Australopithecus deyiremeda is not only legit but is tied to the Burtele Foot! Arboreality maintained in some australopiths while other (Au. afarensis) committed more to the ground. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I made a video about that new Paranthropus hand! youtu.be/WmtNIRqPNc8?...

Mainstream news covered the Jeffrey Epstein emails related to ppl like Trump. Today, I want to take a look at Epstein's correspondence with prominent atheist and physicist Lawrence Krauss, who asked the pedophile's advice on responding to accusations of sexual assault skepchick.org/2025/11/so-i...

Climate change: “first time?”

I’m sure we will probably talk about monkeys at some point… Come see us if you want to hear how colobines evolved to eat leaves! Hint: it’s a gene duplication

I really can’t think of anything funnier that could have been in the emails. DJT/bill clinton fellatio is unreal

There it is again that funny feeling

When I’m in a giving up competition and my competition is the establishment democrats

Happy five year anniversary Four Season Total Landscaping ❤️

Way to go NYC!! You’ve led the way and hopefully we may all follow soon.

I was Enoch from OTGW for Halloween! I couldn’t find a big enough head but I am happy with how it turned out. Without the head though i was just a big tumbleweed!

Jane Goodall lived an incredible life and her work was foundational to how we consider ourselves in the animal kingdom. 91 is an impressive number of years and it still feels too soon.

The liminal world of being close to done with a doctorate but not close enough to set a graduation date is lonely and sucks Backrooms ass life stage

Sure are a lot of books on tyranny and authoritarianism getting re released with new prefaces and forwards Wonder what that’s about 🙃

Me when everything we know about human evolution has been rewritten again (It hasn’t)

At this rate we will get GTA 6 before a fully resolved and consensus neanderthalensis/sapiens/longi phylogeny 🙃

New @gutsickgibbon.bsky.social video with thumbnail art by yours truly ^^ youtu.be/CQvCzoOcQw8?...

“Write a book” No thanks I’ll just make fifty 4 hour YouTube videos

Thank god the trump-autism-acetaminophen thing is funny because the consequences are going to be dire and far reaching, likely taking decades to undo. Wakefields bullshit is STILL around and he wasn’t even a beloved monster.

Gibbon hand and gibbon hand!

Sexual dimorphism of Australopithecus afarensis is striking and yet the hominins before it (Ardipithecus) and after it (Homo) are virtually monomorphic in most skeletal dimensions. Social evolution id a hell of a drug!

It’s so cool how nothing is as bad as we thought it would be in this administration because it’s all actually significantly worse

Can you even imagine the personhood discussions we’d be having if we had living Australopiths?

Idk what would be crazier, if life on mars WERE or WERENT related to life here! I can’t wait to find out 🥰

Setting aside the fact that AI is a massive energy suck… It’s also ugly and wrong most of the time 🤷‍♀️ The only good use I’ve ever seen for that garbage at the individual level is to scan long computer code for bugs. Someone please regulate it into obscurity

Incidentally thumbnails are also thought to be an early adaptation in Primates linked to dexterity for (if you agree with cartmill and I do) catching insects! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

One dies but another takes its place

I had some people on my most recent video tell me the self portrait in my thumbnail has arms that are too long to give it an artificially more simian look It’s definitely a little cartoony (bc that’s all I can draw) but I’m actually staying pretty true to my silly simian proportions.

Nobody out there accidentally permanently deletes important stuff like I do. Proficiency in being a careless oaf over here

Persisting so one day I can tell youngsters it was actually that bad and dumb

Extracting teeth this morning and the number of vertices in a male gorilla cranium almost crashes blender every time!!

Whenever I hear people talk about their concern for “the birth rate” it always feels like there’s this underlying resentment or threat. Like “we better get this birth rate back up or else” And it never feels like it’s going to be “or else we will provide institutional support for all families”

Lets go??? New Australopith contemporaneous with Homo at Ledi-Geraru that IS NOT Au. afarensis or Au. garhi?? (Probably) Vid soon! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s about that time in every university town where roads become undrivable and gyms a crowded dump again Dawn of the returning students 😡
