Ever wondered why humans have chins? 🤔 New research by HERI’s Lauren Schroeder suggests chins aren’t a direct adaptation. They are linked to other changes like brain growth and a flatter face. In short, chins may be a byproduct of how our faces evolved. 🔗 www.heriuct.co.za/news-content...

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
