>The skeletons of modern
birds – owls and parrots, for example – have long, slender neck skeletons, but overlying skin and thick feather coverings obscure these entirely. Extravagant head, wing and tail feathers present in some birds are not reflected in the underlying osteology either, and the manes, ruffs, thick furry coats and extensive amounts of skin linking the body with the limbs in many modern mammals are, similarly, not suggested at all by osteology.

What? Humans didn't just try standing up randomly and decide they liked it. Of course our changes in locomotion are directly related to the evolution of our physical anatomy, although not the shape of our butts (whoever you're quoting got it backwards…our butts are bigger because we are bipedal and therefore our legs and butts carry more of our weight than a quadruped of the same size. We didn't grow big butts on a mission to become bipedal kek) The shape of the pelvis, for example, is widely believed by anthropologists to be a contributor to human bipedal locomotion, and bipedal locomotion, increased brain size, and the hyoid bone are thought to be contributors to our capacity for speech.

well, we did kinda. we largely no longer live amongst giants due to humans. i think the last mass extinction event that happened was when the people now called "natives" of the Americas, came over from Asia 15000+ years ago. they slaughtered the megafauna in large numbers, and perhaps coupled with changing climate (warming after the ice age), lead to it so they couldn't repopulate themselves at the rate they needed, leading to extinction.

This is such a shame. Even more recently this has been happening, for example with wild salmon. As little as a century ago it wasn't unheard of to see 100lb chinook salmon, whereas nowadays they weigh like 30lbs on average. They reach maturity way faster now and generally don't grow as old which can for a large part be attributed to overfishing and other human factors.
Humans are proving to be a plague on the world again and again.

i don't think so. I think they valued women too much to beat them with sticks. We don't have skeletal evidence for it, there would probably be a lot of female skeletons with healed broken bones if everytime cavemen wanted to bang they'd beat them. It wouldn't be very reasonable to hurt your own tribe if you wanted it to survive. There was cult of feritility back then so in my opinion women were important on some level.

I always wander how life felt before, in prehistoric times. I think it would be dramatically different. What wonders me most, is that we - as humanity - changed the world around us and everywhere except the most remote places on Earth (like Antarctic) has the human imprint. This would be different before. Human population was extremely small, maybe an odd 20k Neanderthals and some more modern Sapiends roamed Europe. They lived in small bands of 20 people or so. They didn't have permanent buildings and the world around them was untamed. It's like there were no home for them in our modern understanding. Humans also weren't the top species back than and they were easily killed by bears and tigers. I wonder how they looked at the world like that. We take for granted that we never leave civilization and probably there is some human life close even if you go to remote jungles.
Imagine that you live in prehistoric Europe. There is you and maybe 10 other members of your group. For hundreds of kilometers, there is no human life besides you. Only vast forests and wild animals that can kill you at any time. Sometimes you wander off of your regular migration tracks and stumble upon some scout from another tribe that you heard legends of. They probably worshipped bears or something. He was hiding in the forests and ran off quickly the moment you noticed him. It was probably the only human not from your tribe that you saw for the last month. Life back than felt really small, kinda both claustrophobic and agoraphobic at the same time. Still feels kinda chill.

As animals, this is more or less how we're "supposed" to live. Living in big cities is not our natural enviroment at all. People consistently say they feel "at peace" in nature, or that they're closer to god/other spiritual belief of choice but the truth is… that's just how comfortable we feel in our natural enviroment that we evolved to fit into over millions of years. We're not made for endless concrete and car gas in our lungs. Big city people are constantly stressed and miserable and it's not surprising at all. People are very quick to call it animal abuse if you for example take an elephant or a hyena and drop them down in the middle of New York, because we know they're gonna be miserable and need their natural enviroment to thrive. But becuase we see ourselves as non-animals, we forget that humans need our natural environment too. Unironically touch grass nonas.

So little people, so much peace and quiet, simple responcibilites and no control over your life. I bet since there were so litle people, diseases weren't so common. Everything we do is under the control of the goverment. My theory is that bureaucracy, and overcomplication of life, is why everybody is mentally ill. Our brain is overheating with complicated responcibilites and malfunctioning. Touching grass, hugging trees and shrooms help so much but even i don't have enough time to do that when i work 7 days a week to pay the goverment for breathing here.

Not the kind of fleas that exist where I live, they don’t give a shit if you’re naked. And mosquitoes suck everywhere and have always sucked and spread malaria and shit. Most all wild creatures have internal and external parasites and ancient humans would have been no different, you’ve clearly never spent much time outside in a harsh remote climate with insane levels of bugs. Natural “repellants” don’t do shit when you’re in the deep woods. Tell me you’re a city girl without telling me you’re a city girl. The only wild critters I’ve encountered that aren’t covered with visible amounts of external parasites when you get super close to them are possums, and that’s cause possums have lower body temps than most mammals and they also eat up any bugs that might get on them. Hell, the nicest most temperate summer weather I’ve experienced, I couldn’t stand being outside the small “city” cause the second you got in the woods fucking big ass black flies would bite you. They didn’t have mosquitoes up there but there’s always some awful biting bullshit bug around and there’s TONS the further into the woods and further away from civilization you go.

Go camping in a remote area in the heat of summer and come back to me homie. Only natural bug repellants allowed.

Literally just look into the through hiking community, just a cursory glance. And tell me how much of a charmed life we’d all live as wild animals. society peaked in 2012, it’s been downhill since. Our future is bleak but our present is way better than basically any other time in the history of our species. We’re domesticated animals, and domestication literally reduces overall cortisol levels in any animal that becomes domesticated. Saying we belong in the wild is stupid, because we literally don’t, we’re animals yes but not wild ones. Regardless, romanticizing the way wild animals live in general is even more retarded than romanticizing the 1950s. Even apex predators live a tough and cruel and harsh life in the wild. The problem isn’t that we live in a society, the problem is that the society we live in is terminally ill with greed.

Like other apes, all humans used to have three sets of molars for chewing tough food. As humans invented cooking and the pestle and mortar and started eating softer food, the need for third molars disappeared and our jaws started getting smaller. This is why lot of people who do grow out wisdom teeth have to take them out, there is not enough room. The evolutionary trend is that more and more people are being born without those teeth, which are now considered vestigial and unneeded. I am one of those people. As time goes on, all people will be like me and will evolve out of having third molars.

Is this new? I thought it was a known fact. The shape of the dick is like that so that it can push semen of other males out of the vagina. It's kinda bleak.
These things make me think, males have evolved several features and behaviours so they can bypass any female defense and reproduce (via rape, often) despite not being chosen and also they have methods to "cheat" and fuck over male rivals (even physically, like the dick thing above). You know how some female animals have evolved ways to counter male "cheating" or rape, like ducks or hyenas? How come human women never evolved anything like that?

Women are being left out of life extension research despite being highly represented in the field. 70% of all interventions are only tested on male mice. And when they're tested on female mice, they're all nulliparous, meaning that they won't work on parous mice because pregnancy introduces severe changes to your biology.

>Garrison criticised virtually all longevity research as failing women because, she said, even the few studies that included virgin female mice ignored the times where those mice were in their reproductive cycle.


That's so fucking sad!

>one of the reasons there has not been more progress in extending women’s healthy longevity is because researchers are not interested in studying the question


How are We the ones the entire anti-aging agenda is pushed on? I wanted to say they will get interested in doing research on extending women's lives if they want women to keep bringing people into this world, but they don't give a shit about our wellbeing at all or ever did care about the sacrifice the pregnancy it is.

You are correct. Virtually all life extension strategies for males involve making them a little less phenotypically male. One of them is a straight 'non feminizing' 17-alpha estradiol supplementation, go figure.

>How are We the ones the entire anti-aging agenda is pushed on?
