Harari says "women paid extra" when our ancestors evolved bipedalism + big brains. The story he's telling is about our physical inferiority. I say we paid extra by having to argue against that stupid 'scientific' belief instead of doing cool shit.

It took 3 years to complete this paper and it was difficult(!) but I think both @ctennie.bsky.social and I are grateful for the varied perspectives we gained as a result of this collaboration. If you work on ape culture, hopefully you'll feel the same

Great thread! I too was diagnosed with breast cancer before 50 (@47, so closer to 50 than you), but in BC we start screening at 40 (how mine was caught early). I also suffered the guilt that I caused my cancer, can confirm that it sucks to feel that way! Hope you are doing well!
Congratulations! Looking forward to reading this!
Do you know anyone with an interest in pursuing a PhD studying the genetics, development, and evolution of skeletal morphology and life history? If so please encourage them to apply to work with me through any of the University of Illinois' EEB or PEEC programs. 1/4 🧪🦷🦴🐭🐒
Great! Thanks for that detailed information! Gets me thinking it might be worth purchasing…and keeping at 3D work.
How is the accuracy of models? Would you consider the models research grade? Ease of model fusing? The latter takes so much time on my current set up!

Trump's very first example of the Smithsonian's "corrosive ideology" was an exhibit that correctly stated "Race is a human invention." How is scientific consensus (that biological races don't exist in humans) corrosive? We are asking scientists to co-sign our statement: forms.gle/kqKQF9CZ3jPB...
Excited to read this! Looks like really interesting and important findings!
Very cool! Thanks for the thorough summary!

🗺️ Historically, maps have shaped land and power through a colonial lens. A new map at UVic is changing that narrative by centring Indigenous communities and the complex treaty and non-treaty relationships that shape the Salish Sea.
