Could play have evolutionary benefits? From sledding crows to roughhousing wolves to bees rolling balls, we examine how play shapes the animal kingdom. Plus why children need risky play. It’s “The Play’s the Thing” this week on Big Picture Science.

Trotz gleicher genetischer Ausstattung sehen manche Tiere der selben Art unterschiedlich aus. Warum? Forschende des @MPI_Bio in Tübingen fanden Antworten im "Monstermaul" und anderen Mündern von Fadenwürmern. Julia Hansen erklärt sie uns: https://www.laborjournal.de/editorials/2995.php

Who’s the father? For these baby animals, one doesn’t exist.

From Vox: "More animals can occasionally reproduce asexually than scientists realized."

"The insect world is full of species of parasitic wasps that spend their infancy eating other insects alive. And for reasons that scientists don’t fully understand, they have repeatedly adopted and tamed wild, disease-causing viruses and turned them into biological weapons. Half a dozen examples already are described, and new research hints at many more."

I'm going to catch us up on some interesting science for a couple of days. A break from the daily horror show.
"Survival of the nicest: have we got evolution the wrong way round?
How humans, animals and even single-celled organisms cooperate to survive suggests there’s more to life than just competition, argues a cheering study of evolutionary biology."

I was talking to someone who was born in the 1960s.

  • Crazy, it's already 2024 - remember, for us children it was so !
  • I remember the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
  • Old past.
  • You know what annoys me about this nowadays-future?
  • That we don't have a United Federation of Planets yet?
  • No, that can't overcome this carnage and devastation on Earth. We're still so Stone Age.
  • We're wasting so much time.
  • We need .

Robots still can't outrun the fastest animals because millions of years of evolution + tissue and bone make for more agility, flexibility, etc. 🤯 Fascinating stuff https://www.sciencealert.com/theres-a-surprising-reason-why-robots-cant-outrun-the-fastest-animals
