Coevolution (Habitat 🌄)
In biology, coevolution occurs when two or more species reciprocally affect each other's evolution through the process of natural selection. The term sometimes is used for two traits in the same species affecting each other's evolution, as well as gene-culture coevolution. Charles Darwin mentioned evolutionary i...

It is a remarkably humbling realization that a single, unnoticed bite from an arthropod the size of an apple seed can completely rewrite an individual's relationship with the global food chain. Alpha-gal syndrome reminds us that the human immune system, for all its staggering sophistication and atomic-level precision, remains intimately and sometimes precariously tethered to the natural world.

SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY PSYCHOLOGY FEEDTITLE: Scientists challenge a 70-year-old “lizard brain” myth
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260829235958.htm
A long-standing picture of brain evolution as newer, rational layers stacked on top of an ancient “lizard brain” may be deeply misleading. Researchers found that evolution instead appears to balance two competing styles of brain wiring, expanding one while shrinking the other depending on what an animal needs to survive.

Tetonius varleyorum is a newly identified, mouse-lemur-sized species of extinct omomyid primate that challenges the previously accepted step-by-step evolutionary model of early mammals.

This week's #NewBooks at the library:
- Another second-hand volume to my growing collection of The Correspondence of #CharlesDarwin, this one Volume 26: 1878, published by Cambridge University Press.
- #Warhammer: The Art of #GamesWorkshop, a rather rare exhibition catalogue of grimdark artwork that I bought via eBay.
- I Have Landed: The End of a Beginning in #NaturalHistory, the final of the essay bundles from #StephenJayGould, published by Harmony Books.#Books #Bookstodon #HistoryOfScience #ScienceHistory #HistSci #Evolution #EvolutionaryBiology #Scicomm @bookstodon

A recent genetic analysis of late Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) in Western Europe indicates that these populations were genetically diverse, healthy, and interconnected just before their extinction.

This week's #NewBooks at the library: Who is excited about the next few books he will be reviewing?
- After an impressive debut, I am looking forward to reading Cal Flyn's second book, The Savage Landscape: How We Made the Wilderness, published by HarperCollins.
- Time for another deep dive into the history of my favourite discipline, #EvolutionaryBiology. I really enjoyed Costa's annotated version of Wallace's notebook, and am very excited about delving into this annotated version of #CharlesDarwin's The Descent of Man, beautifully published here by @princetonupress. Expect me to go dark for a while, it's over 760 pages!
- And for context, I will be adding a review of Jeremy DeSilva's A Most Interesting Problem: What #Darwin’s Descent of Man Got Right and Wrong about #HumanEvolution, published a few years back, also by Princeton.

The EVApeCognition dataset is an open-access repository compiling 18 years of experimental data on great ape behavior and cognition. It integrates 262 experimental datasets from 150 publications, encompassing studies of over 80 great apes to analyze how these animals think, learn, and perceive the world.

Genetic analyses of ancient skeletons from a megalithic tomb in France reveal a dramatic population collapse during the "Neolithic decline" around 3000 BC, which was subsequently followed by the immigration and genetic replacement by a distinct population from southern Europe.

After completing this research, a definitive solution still remains unclear to me. We face a difficult paradox: combating extremism with equal measures risks becoming a form of radicalism itself, only perpetuating the cycle. The true challenge moving forward is finding ways to dismantle these rigid systems of thought without abandoning our own objectivity in the process.

Excited to have been interviewed about my research in "Big Biology" - my favourite biology podcast! A nice conversation between myself and my colleagues Cameron Ghalambor and Marty Martin.
FYI: this is my first podcast ever! Check it out:
