Reposted by baezilKrista Koeller @kristalerista.bsky.social · 27/08/2026This is not a criticism of this study, just something I’ve noticed in non-animal behavioral studies. Non-human animals are assumed to be little robots unless there’s evidence they have a human-like trait like the ability to love or use tools We don’t treat traits like tails or fangs like that 091
Reposted by baezilKrista Koeller @kristalerista.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I think that for transition-related questions, we should not use a null hypothesis framework. We know at some point our ancestors evolved every trait that makes us human. But when? I don’t like assuming that all non-human animals are unhuman-like until shown to be human-like. 2142
