Neuroanatomical convergence between pterosaurs and non-avian paravians in the evolution of flight
Bronzati et al. show that pterosaurs, the first flying reptiles, evolved brains resembling bird precursors but not modern birds. They also demonstrate that, unlike birds, which built on inherited dino...

Happy #EvolutionDay: #OTD, 1859, Charles Darwin published "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection". The fossil mammals that he recovered in South America sparked the theory of evolution. 🧪⚒️

I understand that the Natural History Museum of Abu Dhabi spent a truly wild amount of money to purchase Stan the T.rex, which makes it all the odder that its mount of two fighting tyrannosaurs is so utterly sauceless

The Ward Scientific Company sold these Rhomaleosaurus casts to various museums starting in 1866 (for $150). The original at the National Museum of Ireland was broken up with sledgehammers during a move in the 1920s. #FossilFriday

The fact that in 2025 we are still debating vaccine safety, the horrors of slavery, and the hateful meaning of the swastika is a profound failure of collective memory and a setback for civilization. And I hate it.
