Reposted by Steve SmartAnnalee Newitz @annaleen.bsky.social · 24/07/2026I'm always amused by the way humans fetishize "walking upright," "tool use," and "language" as the iconic features of a superior species. And of course we ignore or downplay the obvious signs of all three in every other species. "They only walk upright SOMETIMES. Not like a true upright walker." 5437836
