Natural selection because of human-caused change in environment? Such a cool finding.
A new study details the evolutionary change of Anna's Hummingbirds, finding their beaks have grown longer and more tapered to get the most from common feeders.
Backyard feeders changed the shape of hummingbird beaks, scientists say

It's so wild that something like bite marks can... stay long enough to even get fossilized.
In another world, I'd be a dino-girlie cuz of the process of recordkeeping that has to be done to even keep track of stuff like that!!!!

You know I love a good bite mark, and these are some of my favorites. A Tyrannosaurus fed on a Triceratops carcass, leaving deep punctures in the hips. 🧪

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.
My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?
Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male
