"Our findings suggest a potential mechanism of homologous chromosome pairing during meiosis in allopolyploid parthenogenesis. This research provides insights into the evolutionary adaptations and genetic mechanisms underlying parthenogenesis in reptilian species, challenging traditional views on reproductive strategies and genomic evolution in asexual organisms."
Empathie ist keine magische Fähigkeit, sondern eine evolutionär entwickelte. Das Gehirn simuliert dabei die Körpersprache des Gegenübers, um es mir der eigenen zu vergleichen. Ein selbst durchlebtes Leid kann so erinnert werden. Und auch wenn man die exakte Erfahrung selbst nicht gemacht hat, so hat man doch ein ausreichendes Verständnis vom Gemütszustand und den Empfindungen des Gegenübers.
Diese Fähigkeit schafft Freunde, die einem ein Leben Lang erhalten bleiben. Sie fördert das Wachstum und damit die Ressourcen einer Gruppe. Sie ist sicherlich einer der wichtigsten Gründe, für die Ausbreitung des Menschen über den gesamten Globus.
Manchen Menschen fehlt diese Fähigkeit. Das sind sehr wenige. In Vielen liegt diese Fähigkeit vergraben. Damit will ich sagen, dass sie zwar zur Empathie fähig, und diese Fähigkeit auch aktiv ist, andere psychische Zustände die Empathie aber unterdrücken. Meist ist Angst der Unterdrücker. Das das ist auch einfach zu erraten, weil Menschen unter so vielen verschiedenen Ängsten leiden. Und mit ihnen leiden die Anderen, vor denen die so sehr Angst vor denn Anderen haben, dass sie ihre evolutionärbiologische Fähigkeit der Empathie begraben haben.

Such an amazing documentary!!!
So long #Thunderbird, it was nice knowing you. But this is absolutely how you kill the brand.
For the rest of us that are sick of the bloatware that Thunderbird has become, may I humbly suggest you give #Evolution a try? (Especially if you run #Linux! And if you run Windows, it can run just fine in #WSL2 with an #Xserver.)
Seriously. I will never go back to Thunderbird. Not only does Evolution just work, but all the basics are just there without needing to add a bunch of add-ons.

Ein neuer Duft für die #Bienenkönigin.
“Unsere Studie stellt diese Annahme in Frage und zeigt ein viel komplexeres Bild der #Evolution.”
Bei #Honigbienen sorgt die Königin durch einen speziellen Duftstoff dafür, dass ihre #Arbeiterinnen unfruchtbar bleiben und ihr dienen. Ein solches Königinnenpheromon haben Forscher nun erstmals auch bei einer #Bienenart mit weit einfacherem Staat nachgewiesen – der #Furchenbiene. Das Überraschende jedoch: Der Duftstoff der Königin besteht bei dieser #Bienenart aus einer chemisch völlig anderen Substanz als bei den #Honigbienen
(Pheromon (E)-9-Oxodec-2-ensäure („Königinnensubstanz“)) . Das deutet darauf hin, dass die #Evolution dieser Pheromone komplexer ablief als bisher gedacht.

@RulesBuster @georgetakei Moreover, #Evolution is not #Moral nor always in a #PositiveDirection. #Evolution is conditioned on #Survival. TBH I am very hopeful that your scenario about #SocialSecurity cheques stopping will cause #Chaos and #Damage. In this #NewNihilism #RedStates will suffer more than #BlueStates. As long as the #Wreckage is greater in #RedStates is greater. #WeAreWinning.
@_9CL7T9k8cjnD_ @georgetakei #Evolution might be teaching but I doubt mankind is learning - at least not permanently... Otherwise we would have a capable and dedicated public servant in the #WhiteHouse and the insurrectionist and fraudster in #Jail. Let's see what the #MAGAts are saying once their #SocialSecurity cheques stop coming...
Not holding my breath, though. Apparently still 45% of voters are approving of the #OrangeFelon's job performance... Even with markets in free fall, looming recession, and talking about war with Denmark, Panama, and Canada these fuckwits give him higher rating than Biden at the same time in his presidency.

@georgetakei Sadly, my humble suggestion is you can't protect people from themselves; and, we should let them received #DarwinAwards. #Evolution teaches through #Pain #Suffering and #Loss.

Today’s evolution — and even more so in the future — is the evolution of Models and Feelings.

People who champion the nuclear family and insist that it is the only way to have a healthy family, are ridiculously misinformed.
The nuclear family -- as has been enforced by monarchial, state, and corporate powers -- is an exceedingly recent invention.
Humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years.
We evolved to be cooperative breeders, with communities that heavily engaged in alloparenting 
Oldest human face in Western Europe found in Spain, rewriting early European settlement history
A fascinating fossil find in Spain’s Atapuerca Mountains has revealed that the beginnings of human habitation in Western Europe predate what scientists previously believed...

A bizarre ancient organism previously thought to be a giant fungus may actually belong to an undiscovered branch of the tree of life that mysteriously went extinct.
Prototaxites, which lived between 420 million and 375 million years ago, was the first giant terrestrial life form to inhabit Earth. It grew trunk-like structures up to 8 metres tall and 1 metre wide.
