How to know when you've crossed over to full, freakin' paranoia?? When you read an article like this & immediately envision #Christofascist legislation to grow "abandoned" frozen embryos via artificial wombs so they can become neglected, traumatized kids--oops, I mean properly-educated RW voters. Voila... the next anti-abortion tool. 🤦♀️
And then there is also yet another ethical dimension, that of #fascist#eugenics. Who decides who will live or what will be procreated #IVF and then carried to term by an #ArtificialWomb?
#Humanity has already messed around enough with #evolution. Some combinations of the human #genome might simply not be meant to...
How Indonesia’s Toba Volcano Changed Human Evolution
The massive supervolcano eruption 74,000 years ago has been blamed for nearly killing off our species. The emerging truth is much more interesting - by Gemma Tarlach April 29, 2024
"...Stone tools have been found both above and below layers of Toba ash deposited in northern India, the Arabian Peninsula, and elsewhere, showing that humans were present in those areas before and after the catastrophic eruption. They found ways to weather the actual event and any changes in climate that followed. And in March, after decades of research in a remote corner of Ethiopia, a multidisciplinary team determined that humans there survived shifts in climate likely caused by the distant eruption by changing their diet and, quite possibly, innovating a new hunting technique: archery..."

He always has a fascinating mix of studies and articles that bring you back the big Aww!
“On the whole, large differences in exploratory behavior were observed between the cichlid species, and these differences were also confirmed under laboratory conditions [...] This puts the focus back on animal behavior as driving force behind key evolutionary processes"
Happy to share the latest manuscript from our lab, in which we propose that eukaryotes evolved from a genomic chimera of Asgard archaea and giant viruses.
Here we see the Advantage of Bi-generational Lifeforms: When temperature gets too hot, the forest sheds its leaves and powers down to survive, to then grow a new clan in... Spring?
I have a #CalDAV server running on my NAS. I want to access the calendars on it from #GNOME Calendar. How to achieve this? I haven't found anything neither in Calendar itself nor in "Online Accounts" section in the Settings.
I found an old blog post from 2016 mentioning having to install #Evolution to do this:
