Both sexes have to be oppressed - by Tove K
#society #anthropology #biology
Warriors and Worriers changed my perception of the world a bit, both on an intellectual and personal plan. First of all, I finally got the answer to why growing up female was such an unpleasant experience.

Researchers Say It’s Time to Stop Naming Organisms After People
#biology #science #politics #wokistan
For some people, the stakes of such decisions can feel high. “Naming and language have power. The way that you use language tells people whether they belong or not,” Earyn McGee, a conservation biologist and organizer of Black Birders Week, told Undark in 2020. The refusal to change species names, she said, “tells Black people and other people of color that they don’t matter, that they’re not important.”

Rare recording of 'mysterious' night parrot song made by Indigenous rangers in Gibson Desert
ABC Alice Springs
Indigenous rangers have captured a rare recording of the "extremely secretive" night parrot in a remote part of Western Australia.
Key points:
There are about a dozen sites in the entire country where the night parrot is known to occur
This new location is being kept a secret to protect the critically endangered bird
It's the first time many traditional owners have heard the night parrot since they were children
Described as the "holy grail" of ornithology, the elusive bird was rediscovered in 2013, more than a century after it was last seen.

Garter snakes make friends, organize their society around females
Finding comes from first-of-its-kind study of thousands of wild snakes
Garter snakes have something in common with elephants, orcas, and naked mole rats: They form social groups that center around females. The snakes have clear “communities” composed of individuals they prefer hanging out with, and females act as leaders that tie the groups together and guide their members’ movements, according to the most extensive field study of snake sociality ever carried out…

story of the Coelacanths...
Coelacanths are one of only two surviving groups of lobe-finned fish along with the lungfishes. Lobe-finned fish are bony fish notable for their fins being attached to muscular lobes. The lobes of lobe-finned fish eventually evolved into the first vertebrate limbs. That makes lobe-finned fish the ancestors of all reptiles, amphibians, and mammals, including you. In fact, you are more closely related to a coelacanth than a coelacanth is to a tuna. Coelacanths were thought to be the closest living link to tetrapods, but genetic testing has shown that lungfish are actually closer to the ancestor of tetrapods...

By analyzing the genomes of more than 335,000 people and using questionnaires to assess their meat intake, scientists have identified one point in the human genome — rs72884519 on chromosome 18 — that is significantly associated with following a vegetarian diet. In a separate analysis, the researchers identified three gene variants — NPC1, RMC1, and RIOK3 — clustered in that same region that are linked to vegetarianism, as well as another 31 genes elsewhere in the genetic code that may have a "possible role" in this dietary choice.
