"Friday, Jan. 31, marks the anniversary of Ham the chimpanzee's space flight, which happened 64 years ago." Today is a good day to remember not only Ham who survived space, but so many monkeys, mice, dogs, and other animals who also had no choice-- and did not. #chimpanzees #animals #space

@gutsickgibbon.bsky.social Discussion of the Dinaledi LORM has got my heart RACING. I think the collection of pre-prints, reviews and critiques is the best reality tv show I’ve ever seen. Thank you for being our host 😅 #paleoanthropology #humanevolution #PaleoSky
