25 years ago Peter Singer wrote this about tariffs and trade unions.

I have an Acheulean "chopper". When you grip it like this, if it's sharp, it cuts your hand open. Can any #archaeology pro explain this?

In Napier's "Roots of Mankind" the author claims that "In the progress towards the social evolution of education, student revolts are a grave hindrance;... young males... act as adult males do in all primate societies when they are so challenged - aggressively." Here again myth rears its ugly head.

Seeking some #primatology or #zoology pros to help me understand this. Humans have a low intermembral index (long legs), even lower than New and Old World monkeys. Primates, by contrast, have a much higher index. Can anyone explain this disparity? (cit: Napier, Roots of Mankind, 1970)

The giant oarfish can grow up to 23 feet long. 19th century authors witnessed these creatures and called them sea serpents. No doubt these lent to myths of dragons, Loch Ness monster, etc. From the Wiki. #myth

A box of books about violence (and why it's bad, mm kay?) written by a stuntman with a message of hope. You can get yours on Amazon at www.amazon.com/dp/B0DVTBQTF2 #violence #aggression #peace #action #motioncapture

Another book about how we're "just animals." A recent @hubermaniab.bsky.social guest said the same thing. My new book If These Fists Could Talk reveals that the unique human capacity for reciprocity is in everything human from war to religion & language. Get it on Amazon here: a.co/d/9Vhz1wS
