Many people have learned that horses first came to the Americas when Spanish explorers brought them here about 500 years ago.

But fossils show horses have been in North America for centuries, including during the Americas during the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago.

For the first time in one billion years, two lifeforms truly merged into one organism.

@popsci reports: "This incredibly rare event occurred between a type of abundant marine algae and a bacterium was observed in a lab setting."

"Life cycle diagrams are ubiquitous in science textbooks, and they may be due for some updates. A new study finds simple design changes in these diagrams can have a dramatic impact on the ability of undergraduate students to understand key biology concepts."

I have a server running on my NAS. I want to access the calendars on it from 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 to do this:

Is this still the only way to do this?

500 million years ago, the world was a very different place. Basically all life lived in the water. One of these creatures was a group of predatory worms with throats covered in spines, hooks and teeth to trap their prey, NPR reports:

Beautiful new study by Michael Bok, Macali & Garm on the high-resolution eyes of the enigmatic alciopid annelids, from Ponza island.
"Our results show that the eyes of alciopids possess the anatomical, morphological, and physiological properties requisite for high resolution tasks and object vision"

Australia's Great Barrier Reef hit by record bleaching

> Australia's spectacular Great Barrier Reef is experiencing its worst event on record, the country's reef authority reported on Wednesday (Apr 17).

> Often dubbed the world's largest living structure, the Great Barrier Reef is a 2,300km-long expanse, home to a stunning array of biodiversity including more than 600 types of coral and 1,625 fish species.

Homo sapiens is the worst kind of predator on earth:

...and, relatively speaking with regard to his intellect, the most stupid one in all of history: the cyano bacteria that probly were the first "beings" that destroyed their habitat on a global scale (#GreatOxidationEvent) did neither have the cognitive faculties, nor any antecedents from which they could have learned:

This is a bi-generational lifeform:

Plants grow animal offspring, animals shed seed for new plants.

In animal form the genes are more mobile, while in plant form they can shed leaves to better endure extreme temperatures.

Blue dots (animals) appear on green plants, move around a little, then seed out geen plants, such that the forest grows... When temperature rises the animals migrate, but don't survive, but the forest grows new animals.

Very interesting story about the , a potential new organelle resulting from between nitrogen-fixing bacteria and the Braarudosphaera bigelowii based on subcellular imaging and proteomic data.
Possibly a new model to study the evolutionary transition from to organelle.

How to know when you've crossed over to full, freakin' paranoia?? When you read an article like this & immediately envision 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. 🤦‍♀️

I def need a day away from the computer.

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...
