This is super cool! We all acknowledge that morphological change must follow behavioral changes during Darwinian evolution, but these folks show it happening human ev. Very neat idea and study.

Behavior drives morphological change during human evolution

My lab bought a bunch of electronics equipment in June. I just got an invoice for “tariff reconciliation” letting me know that we now owe an additional $400 on top of what we’ve already paid. Thanks Trump.

Dwelling on pain traps us in cycles of suffering. By viewing challenges as learning opportunities instead, we can grow and heal. Treating difficulties as teachers rather than enemies opens the door to wisdom, transformation, and joy. ❤️
