Rest Well, Raul Pacheco-Vega

Our community lost the inimitable Raúl Pacheco-Vega this week. Someone who knew him better than me should write a more definitive remembrance and maybe they have in some other corner of the internet. But, I haven’t seen a longer treatment yet (here is a terrific one!), so I thought I’d have a go at a remembrance. Raúl lived his life…

Word on the street is NO fossil fuel lobbyists at the Santa Marta, Colombia 'Transition Away' conference. But it does have some of the best climate scientists in the world for an advisory panel.

The Lula administration is bypassing environmental laws to renew a highway. Scientists warn paving this road through the Amazon could push it to a tipping point. The move has already triggered the resignation of top Brazilian environmental officials. @nandawenzel.bsky.social report for #Mongabay.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

You will be shocked, shocked to hear that "The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong"! 🙄 Duh! OF COURSE IT'S WRONG. But now there's a cool article listing the biological and evidentiary reasons, along with nifty diagrams. www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

Beginning of article from Scientific American sowing a lovely orange-toned painting of a naked woman running with a spear

Beginning of an article reading "Even if you're not an anthropologist, you've probably encountered one of this
field's most influential notions, known as Man the Hunter. The theory
proposes that hunting was a major driver of human evolution and that men
carried this activity out to the exclusion of women. It holds that human ancestors had a
division of labor, rooted in biological differences between males and females, in which
males evolved to hunt and provide, and females tended to children and domestic
duties. It assumes that males are physically superior to females and that pregnancy
and child-rearing reduce or eliminate a female's ability to hunt.
Man the Hunter has dominated the study of human evolution for nearly half a century
and pervaded popular culture. It is represented in museum dioramas and textbook
figures, Saturday morning cartoons and feature films. The thing is, it's wrong."
