  1. “A new study led by Flinders University has flipped the historical narrative about #Australia's #thylacine, finding the native apex predator known as the ‘ #TasmanianTiger ’ was significantly different from the wolves and wild dogs it was likened to before being hunted to #extinction.”

  2. 🧬🐣 Researchers found that #chickens and #humans share genetic blueprints for facial growth.

    While the instructions are similar, the timing and way #cells respond to signals create unique shapes, explaining how #evolution produces diverse features.

  4. 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!

  5. Trabecular cartilage (Evolution 🧬)

    Trabecular cartilages are paired, rod-shaped cartilages, which develop in the head of the vertebrate embryo. They are the primordia of the anterior part of the cranial base, and are derived from the cranial neural crest cells.

  6. Pear-Shaped: The Life Story of Your Uterus by Marlies Bongers & Corien van Zweden, 2025

    It gives life to humankind, billions of people have one, and yet the uterus is still mysterious to many. And talking about it can feel taboo. But when you don't talk about it, you don't discover what's normal and what's not—or what questions to ask at the doctor's office. The reality? This versatile, pear-shaped organ is worthy of everyone's attention.

  7. CW: CW: Slight gore, shown as an anatomical drawing of the brain.

    I play Chalice, a TTRPG created by @tryagainben (on Insta). We met up IRL, and the party came across notebooks of experiments that alchemists had been doing on people, so I was inspired to draw based on the results of these experiments.

    Thanks also to Holly, CJ, Jago, Max, Billy, and Kay for being the best party I could ask for!

  9. El cráneo está formado por 22 huesos, los dientes y los cartílagos de las orejas y la nariz. La mayoría de los huesos están unidos en sinartrosis, sin movilidad, conteniendo, protegiendo y sirviendo de anclaje para los músculos faciales, de la mandíbula y el cuello. #anatomia #anatomy #bones #huesos

  10. This remarkably detailed wax anatomical model (c.1787) is now housed at the Javier Puerta Museum. Wax models like this were used for teaching anatomy to medical students at a time when few bodies were available for dissection. It demonstrates the merging of art and science.

  11. "#Terfs after they get butch #women kicked out of #womens #bathrooms for looking too much like a #man, call #cis women men #because they don't fit a #white #western #beauty #standard, say #people who've had mastectomies (which are mostly cancer patients) are mutilated, reduce women down to their #anatomy, act like #trans men are #clueless little #girls who can't #think for themselves, say women are naturally worse at #sports and #quiz #shows and beauty #pageants than men, flash a fake bush in #parliament with #children present, rile up so much #bullshit about trans #athletes that now there's #laws being made where little girls have to have #genital #inspections, and throw #intersex people under the bus at every #opportunity"

    #OTD Olaus #Rudbeck, #Swedish #Botanist, died.

    In his #FirstJob as #Botany #Professor, Olaus #Expected a Full #Class, but no one showed.

    In Frederica Rowan's #Biography, she writes,

    "Recovering from his #Momentary #Weakness, Olaus [did] for #Botany what he had for #Anatomy.
    He [created] a #Botanical #Garden...
    [and when] #Admiring #Visitors #Gathered [there]...
    He would #Instill #Knowledge into them...
    Even #Against their #Will."
