all the gondwana animals are fascinating, Australias crazy collection and how they faired in South America and India when they bumped into the northern hemisphere ones, its all just begging for more details.NapLajoieonSteroids wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 6:50 am I've been fascinated with the recent-ish finding of the full skeltal remains of the Adalatherium
Parrots have pretty much dominated everywhere they get to - smart and aggressive are winners every time.
yes, Monotremes are real oddball mammals, fascinating.NapLajoieonSteroids wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 4:33 pm What I really had in mind though were the monotremes, like the Adalatherium. They got absolutely crushed by the changes, and barely hang on in the land of relics.

Nah, women carrying their newborns around cuts down on their sexual appeal and mating opportunities.... due to the male self-preservation instinct.NapLajoieonSteroids wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 11:22 am Marsupials- don't forgot the Virginian Opossum, eater of ticks.
Frankly, the Marsupial lost out due to aesthetic reasons. The whole carrying the young in poaches in disgusting; once these creatures were exposed to how others did it, most of them died of shame.
Marsupials dont even have much virginianSimple Minded wrote: ↑Thu May 20, 2021 10:53 am
Never heard of them referred to as Vinginian Opossums. I just assumed they are pretty much everywhere.
Yeah, they do get around.Simple Minded wrote: ↑Thu May 20, 2021 10:53 am Never heard of them referred to as Vinginian Opossums. I just assumed they are pretty much everywhere.

If you commit a sin, I'll look the other way. Maybe a good model for the origins of forgiveness.interesting.Nonc Hilaire wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 8:30 pm The evolution of a defensive gland in beetles shows how organs can arise from novel cells carving out new functional niches for their neighbors.

You could say no headway.Popular speculations about how life evolved out of a soup of chemicals on the early Earth often focus on the origins of DNA and RNA, the molecules of genetic information. But the genesis of genes is only one of the mysteries that origin-of-life theories must reckon with. Another is the rise of metabolism — the biochemical processes inside cells that make life possible by continuously drawing energy from the environment and directing it into the assembly of vital molecules. It’s a complex problem on which there has been little headway.
Here is why.

The introduction was cringe inducing beyond words.
The Social Weapon: Darwinism
Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya) The twentieth century was one of the darkest and most deadly in all of human history. Vast amounts of blood were spilled and people subjected to the most terrible fear and oppression. Such dictators as Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot inflicted genocide on millions. Hitler had those whom he regarded as “useless” exterminated in the gas chambers. Hundreds of thousands of people in many Western countries—from Great Britain to Germany, from the USA to Sweden—were compulsorily sterilized or left to die just for being sick, crippled or old. All over the world, people were oppressed and exploited because of ruthless competition. Racism became the ideology of certain states, and some races were not even regarded as human at all. Because of the conflicts and hot and cold wars between East and West, the peoples of communist and capitalist countries, and even brothers, became one another's enemies. The main point not generally realized, however, is the nature of the ideological foundation that propelled the 20th century towards such disruption, chaos, war and conflict, and gave rise to such hatred and enmity. The groundwork of this ideological foundation was laid by the British economist Thomas Malthus. This twisted concept, widely accepted by people far removed from religious moral values, was further strengthened by another Briton, the sociologist Herbert Spencer, and disseminated by the theory of evolution put forward by yet another Englishman, Charles Darwin. As dictated by the ideology they advocate, these three figures entirely ignored such religious moral virtues as cooperation, altruism, protecting the poor and weak, and regarding all human beings as equal. In contrast, they proposed the falsehood that life is a battlefield, that the oppression and even extermination of the poor and those races whom they regarded as “inferior” was justified; that as a result of that pitiless struggle, the “fittest” would survive and the rest would be eliminated—and that all this would lead to human “progress.”
