Two 🗝️ questions to measure our alienation and entitlement levels:

1. How much of what you produce, do you consume? What's the ratio?

2. How much of what you consume, do you produce? What's the ratio?

Our extinct Australopithecus relatives may have had difficult births Childbirth was difficult and dangerous for our ape-like ancestors, much as it is for women today. A new study of the pelvises of Australopithecus suggests that labour exerted powerful forces on their pelvic floors – meaning Australopithecus mothers risked perineal tearing. “We show that Australopithecines are quite similar to modern humans,” says Pierre Frémondière, a midwife at Aix-Marseille University in France. “If they had lots of deliveries, probably they would have a greater risk of pelvic floor disorder.” For modern humans, vaginal childbirth requires a lot of force, as a large-headed baby is forced through a relatively narrow pelvis. One region that is prone to damage is the pelvic floor, a sheet of muscles that links the left and right halves of the pelvis. Many women tear their pelvic floor during labour, and it’s been estimated that 1 in 4 women experience pelvic floor disorders such as incontinence or organ prolapse. Frémondière and his colleagues wanted to find out if similar difficulties afflicted our extinct ancestors. They focused on Australopithecus, which lived in Africa between about 2 million and 4 million years ago. These early hominins walked upright but were also still adapted to spend time in trees, and may...

Two New Marsupials Discovered in New Guinea Were Thought to Have Been Extinct for 6,000 Years Scientists have described an exciting discovery: two marsupials that modern science thought to be extinct are still alive in the rainforests of western New Guinea. The discovery is all the more amazing once you learn these were supposed to have gone extinct 6,000 years ago. Both were known from fossil or subfossil remains on the Vogelkop Peninsula, in what is now Indonesian Papua. And both lived in a landscape that is still biologically rich, yet poorly surveyed and increasingly pressured by logging and agricultural expansion. Mammals are among the best-studied animals on Earth, but the new study shows how even mammals can remain overlooked in undersurveyed forests and in museum collections. “The discovery of one Lazarus taxon, even if thought to have become extinct recently, is an exceptional discovery,” Professor Tim Flannery, co-author of both studies, said. “But the discovery of two species, thought to have been extinct for thousands of years, is remarkable.” Two Lazarus Species A Lazarus species is an animal or plant species that is rediscovered after being presumed extinct. The term comes from Lazarus, the biblical figure raised from the dead. Both new marsupials fit that description. The first animal, the pygmy long-fingered possum, Dactylonax kambuayai,...

Environmental groups, biologists oppose endangered species bill This story was originally produced by the New Hampshire Bulletin, an independent local newsroom that allows NHPR and other outlets to republish its reporting. Whether they are spotted on private property or public land, wild animals and data about them cannot be “owned,” conservationists said at a Tuesday hearing. “I think I have the right … to both enjoy wildlife as a public resource, and have it continue to exist on my property and my neighbor’s property,” Drew Stevens, a wildlife rehabilitator based in Nottingham, told the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Stevens was commenting on House Bill 1603, a proposal from Rep. Sayra DeVito that seeks to add new requirements for how state agencies assess the presence of endangered and threatened species on private property. The bill proposes that wildlife data must be collected with documented landowner permission to be usable, something that conservationists said could negate previous records or complicate future data collection. State agencies use a database on the distribution of threatened and endangered species in New Hampshire to review applications for development and make recommendations, officials said in January. That database includes biologist-verified reports from both agency staff and the public. It does not...

The protein opportunity food loss from production to final consumption for the five major animal categories and their plant-based replacement diets. Each row represents the cascade of protein from field to fork for each of the major animal categories and their plant-based replacement diet. Arrow thicknesses are proportional to the absolute value. Shades of green denote differing composition in feed due to inclusion of processed roughage. Protein feed-to-food conversion efficiencies are calculated in ref. 17. Nutritionally equivalent plant-based diets differ in the items they comprise for each of the five plant replacement diets, thus presenting different protein yields (breadths of arrows) for the same land area used for all starting arrows. Opportunity food loss values at consumption are given as percentages in the middle, representing the difference in protein content between potential ready to eat plant replacement diets (right) and the respective animal category (left), all for an identical land resource investment. For instance, if reallocated to the production of plant-based replacement diet, the arbitrary land area needed to produce the feed for 4 g of beef protein will yield 100 g of protein of human-destined nutritionally equivalent plant diet, which is an opportunity food loss at the consumer level of 96%. Fig. S2 is a presentation of this figure using food calories instead of protein.

There is no "waste" or "loss" on Earth other than humans.

The opportunity cost of animal based diets exceeds all food losses
