Happy Hare, where have you buried all your children? Tell me so I say

You can't keep them all safe. They will die and be afraid.

Mother, tell me so I say

I hope you will enjoy this Halloween special. Today, we are trying something a little bit different by exploring the evolution of a particular animal : Bats.

While their evolutionary history is shrouded in mystery, they allow us, nonetheless, to explore 2 interesting ideas :

1- Convergent evolution : How organisms tend to evolve similar (albeit not identical) body plans as solutions to similar problems (flight in birds, bats and pterosaurs)

2- Prediction : Like any theory, evolution is not only descriptive, but also predictive. Thanks to its models and principles, it allows us to make predictions to complement our gap in observational data.

Happy Halloween!

P.S. : The blog in the third picture is neither scientific nor peer-reviewed. But it is a nice illustration of how the common ancestor of bats MIGHT have looked like, and how using basic principles from evolution, phylogeny, and comparative anatomy, we can visualize how some animals have come to be what they are.

Finally found out how to do the barbie selfie thing lmao

Anyway my oc Darwin!!!! He’s bbg fr

A Árvore da Vida, de Charles Darwin

Darwin e Nós

A publicação, em 1859, da obra de Darwin A Origem das Espécies irrompeu no mundo teológico como um arado num formigueiro. A teoria de que o homem descende de um primata inferior fez estremecer os alicerces do Vaticano. Para calar semelhante heresia, que parecia regalar o Genesis a uma fábula, a Igreja católica criou inúmeras organizações científico-religiosas e tirou os seus prebostes das palestras com a intenção de desprestigiar Darwin e os seus acólitos...

Happy #Darwin Day!

In my Alex Summers feels tonight. Thinking about how when Sean said “he’s not going back to prison” after Darwin’s death, Alex barely reacted.

I wonder if Alex had already assumed that he’d be going back to prison if the whole mutant-CIA-team thing didn’t work out? I wonder how that affected the way he interacted with the others.

He got recruited out of prison by a government organization. The CIA basically owned him - they controlled his freedom, and now they knew he was a mutant, too. They could’ve done anything they wanted to him. Unless there was a really good conversation on the way from the prison to the compound, Alex had no reason to think that Charles or Erik or Moira would defend him from that.

And he gets put in a room full of other mutants, mostly around his age, recruited from their jobs or their homes, and they’re all having fun. I wonder if he felt bitter?

*Insert rain with lofi music* I miss the rain 🌧️ and no I'm not sad just to let you know 👍

Darwin is my spirit animal 🐟
