  4. The fact that all mammals on this planet, including ourselves, have their origin in a tiny primate or pre-primate that weighed less than 20 grams, makes me very humble.

    It lived during the early Paleocene, ~66 Million years ago, probably on trees. It had appeared pretty "soon" after the big bang. This alone is a miracle.

  9. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐒🍌 Nine #macaques at #Singapore’s #Mandai #Wildlife Reserve spontaneously matched round #sounds to round shapes and spiky sounds to spiky shapes, echoing the classic bouba/kiki effect long seen in #humans.

    The researchers trained the #monkeys to link decorated lids to #food, then played the words and tracked their choices. The team argues the effect may rest on ancient perceptual biases shared with a distant common ancestor.

  14. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐒🐕 Researchers at #Oxford mapped how #monkeys and #apes play with, groom, and occasionally care for other species like #dogs, #deer, and #pigs.

    Curiosity and tolerance sometimes cross species lines, though rough handling led to 13 deaths. The work points to shared evolutionary roots for human pet-keeping.

  27. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐒🗽 Twin black-and-white ruffed #lemurs born at #CentralParkZoo in April are raising awareness for their critically #endangeredspecies.

    The fraternal twins Masco and Tonga are part of a species survival plan that aims to maintain genetic #diversity in zoo populations. Curator Susan Cardillo explains how the lemurs serve as "#rainforest gardeners" through seed dispersal and pollination in their native #Madagascar.
