    Nature doesn't care about our neat, tidy human labels. If a body plan works—like growing a massive wooden trunk to out-compete your neighbors for sunlight—completely different species will keep reinventing that exact same shape over and over again.

    2. The Oak, the Daisy, and the Pine

    Because oaks and daisies are both flowering plants (angiosperms), they share a much more recent common ancestor with each other than either of them does with a pine tree.

    Let's have a look at the massive evolutionary splits in the plant kingdom:

    1. The Great Split: Angiosperms vs. Gymnosperms

    About 300 million years ago, plants split into two radically different evolutionary lineages:

    #Gymnosperms: These are the ancient seed plants that don't produce flowers (like conifers, ginkgos, and cycads). A pine tree is a gymnosperm.

    #Angiosperms: These are the younger, highly successful evolutionary line of flowering plants.

  12. @stevegis_ssg Thanks for running the numbers! Perhaps I will add an example to the #pspp distribution.

  13. @stevegis_ssg I only learned that this was a thing when I started working with the #Tunica language and had to figure out what the dictionary entry marked "fanner for corn" referred to. It's woven like a basket and has its own word, which seems to be completely different from the general word for a fan. #MoreThanYouWantedToKnow

    Great to see engagement around #ArtAppreciation happening on Mastodon.

    There was a approach to painting religious topics during the #Renaissance known as the #SienaSchool.

    Askew, troubling, yet not treated as heresy or blasphemy, the paintings are bizzare or weird if the viewer allows themselves to see and respond.

    The Nun too does a great job of daring the viewer to look closely and not skim over troubling details.

    Thanks for sharing the images.

  16. @stevegis_ssg @RickiTarr that connection between physics and ministry isn't that uncommon. I read the #TaoOfPhysics by #FritjofCapra when I was 19 and doing a Chemistry degree and it was mindblowing..if you understand everything is energy there are many parallels between science and spirituality.

    The thing is, punctuation and capitalization evolved as tools to reduce ambiguity. If you want to be clear, use the tools our ancestors left us. They are mighty fine tools.
