#anatomy — Public Fediverse posts

The more I look into attempting my own Doll/BJD faceups, the less I think I know about colours, and the more I realise that human faces - as an art concept - are just ~amazingly complex~ and the *tiniest details* can make a HUGE difference 🤔😑

A year ago I thought hands were too complex to wrap my brain around....

(Hands have been downgraded from ~impossible~ to just ~hard~ )

This week's #NewBooks at the library: Another three books from our January clearance sale, some of which have been review candidates for some time now.

- Planet Palm: How Palm Oil Ended Up in Everything – and Endangered the World, a shocking and eye-opening reportage written by Jocelyn C. Zuckerman and published by Hurst Publishers.

- Making Faces: The Evolutionary Origins of the Human Face, written by Adam S. Wilkins, published by Belknap Press. Not one I was planning to review, but I find it very hard to pass up a bargain on an interesting book on human evolution and physical anthropology.

- Unfit for Purpose: When Human Evolution Collides with the Modern World, written by Adam Hart, published by Bloomsbury Sigma. One of several books that explores the mismatch between our evolutionary legacy and the modern world we have created for ourselves. I expect them to be amusing reads all!

🦂🧪 #Scorpions incorporate #metals like #zinc and #manganese into the tips of their stingers and the edges of their pincers.

This #biomineralization process makes their #anatomy more resistant to wear and breakage during #hunting. Scientists found that the specific placement of these #minerals depends on the physical needs of different scorpion species.

As promised...'Secrets' 2026 edition. This time the process involved the not so forgiving but ever so fun medium of Lino printing! This piece is composed of 2 different stamps to tell a more in-depth and broader perspective of the concept and stories behind secrets.

'Secrets' (2024) is a pen and ink study and a bit of a reflective exercise for me at the time and as I redid the piece recently in a different medium (coming up!)

@ScienceScholar

Why are the researchers assuming this is an evolutionary change? Not every physical change over generations is due to a change in gene frequencies.
