“I wandered lonely as a Cloud
That floats on high o’er Vales and Hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden Daffodils;
Beside the Lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Terrible headline (this is NOT what the new research - link below - shows!), terrible AI image! Argh!
Here’s the actual research:

Given that there is no Neanderthal DNA in the modern H. Sapiens Y chromosome, or modern H. Sapiens mitochondria would indicate that the only fertile children between Neanderthals and H. Sapiens were the female children of Neanderthal fathers and H. Sapiens mother. Is this current thinking?

Interesting. Why do some people cry watching La Traviata and some people don’t? It’s partly due to your genes

Have been there a couple of times. Wonderful place. Seeing them fly at close range is mesmerising but seeing them walking about and socialising adds so much more to the majesty of the Albatross

”Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.”

The Shoes on the Danube Bank is a memorial of the thousands of Jews that were lined up along the bank of the Danube in Budapest, December 1944 to January 1945. People, humans, were asked to remove their shoes (to be sold), shot in the back and their bodies fell into the Danube. The memorial represents the shoes left on the bank

The Shoes on the Danube Bank. We must never forget 😢

A wonderful winter walk followed by a wonderful warm up by the fire

Behavioral Modernity, Neanderthals and Homo sapiens: a Case for Concept Retirement - Biological Theory Biological Theory - Recent archaeological evidence is shedding light on the Neanderthals. New discoveries as well as recent reinterpretations of material traces associated with Neanderthals provide...

Useful reading...in my opinion it is not just 'behavioural modernity' that needs to go, but the whole notion of modernity. The alphabet soup we have created of 'anatomically modern', 'modern humans' etc which are all basically confusing synonyms should be scrapped. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Oldest cave painting could rewrite origins of human creativity A stencilled outline of a hand found on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi is the world's oldest known cave painting, researchers say.

Fascinating. This dates from 68k yrs ago in Sulawesi, & the technique probably has its origins much earlier. Evidence of musical instruments can be seen from this time. Emphasises the importance of Art & music in early H. Sapiens Societal development. #archaeology 🏺

A starry night sky with the Milky Way streaking across it and the Andromeda galaxy to the left of it, appearing a bit fuzzy in the sky.

last night, i caught the milky way and andromeda in the same image and it was so special to me.

two galaxies, millions of light-years apart.
