OK, hear me out - tentacle hentai sort of makes sense... at least as far as that suckers and tentacles are likely appendages aliens species might have. They show up often enough across many groups here on Earth. Link: https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202203.0324 #Evolution #Worldbuilding

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️? Dank allen, die sich auf meinem religions- und politikwissenschaftlichen Blog „Natur des Glaubens“ bei Spektrum einbringen - wird in den nächsten 3 Tagen die unglaubliche Schwelle von 60.000 (sechzigtausend!) Drunter-Kommentaren (Drukos) überschritten! 😳 Und es sind gerade auch die komplexeren Themen wie Evolution der Religion & Demografie, Demokratie & Republik, Zivilreligion & Gewaltenteilung, die viele zum Dialog anregen! In Zeiten, in denen digitale Gewalt, Dummheit, Hass & Hetze eskalieren, in denen praktisch jede Wissenschaft, Gesellschaft & scientikative Institution angegriffen wird, ist das mehr als nur nett. Es ist Hoffnung, dass ausreichend Menschen Demokratie, Dialog und Wissenschaft zu Sinn verbinden. Danke dafür, sehr! 🙏🤓📚🌈 #Blog #Wissenschaftsblog #NaturdesGlaubens #Religionswissenschaft #Politikwissenschaft #Spektrum #Evolution #Religion #Demografie #Dialog #Zivilreligion #Demokratie #Republik #Scientikative #Gewaltenteilung https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/die-wissenschaft-scientikative-als-fuenfte-unverzichtbare-saeule-der-gewaltenteilung-in-jeder-demokratischen-republik/

Dopo averla scartata per quasi 200 anni, i biologi stanno rivalutando la teoria dell'evoluzione di Lamarck, secondo la quale esiste anche una trasmissione ereditaria di tratti acquisiti durante la vita. Non sarebbe in contrasto con la selezione naturale di Darwin che, in realtà, potrebbe favorire lo sviluppo dei meccanismi lamarckiani rendendo le due teorie sinergiche. https://theconversation.com/updating-darwin-biologists-are-returning-to-an-older-theory-to-explain-anomalies-in-evolution-276549 #biology #evolution #science #biologia #evoluzione #scienza

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧠🥩 A new #math model explains why #cannibalism keeps appearing and then disappearing across human #history. The #model shows that while eating human #meat provides calories, the epidemiological costs of disease transmission quickly outweigh any benefits and lead to #community collapse. 👉 https://www.sciencealert.com/mathematics-reveals-why-human-cannibalism-keeps-reappearing #humans #anthropology #epidemiology #evolution #prions #pathogens #culture #science #biology

Evolution doesn't really make new things; it changes existing things to new forms. This is the reasons for many of our body's issues. Compromises that worked well enough for survival, but are far from free of problems. Case in point - our eyes. Link: https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.182923​ #Eyes #Evolution
