Vaquita porpoise are cool

The following may not be suitable for children.

Vaquita porpoise, aka little cow porpoise, aka phocoena sinus, aka gulf of California harbor porpoise. They have a polygynous reproductive lifestyle meaning one male mates with multiple females. They have large testes to compensate for how many females they mate with. Since they are such solitary and shy animals there is little information about their courtship behavior. Females do not produce a calf every year since they have a long offspring creation period and still need to care for their young. Large testes will be selected for because the male with the largest testes can mate with the most females.

Fabric Basket

 The other day a chat AI asked me what my favourite sewing creation was, I didn't have one at the time but I do have one now. Introducing the FABRIC BASKET:

What can one do with a fabric basket? Well dear rhetorical question, you can wear it as a hat, use it for storage, or even use it as a murder weapon. It was Professor Plum, in the living room, with the fabric basket.

The End....

 Potatoes because rocks are damgerous.

To science doth we do the weird, replicathith the rock of ancient times with the knife and thoth potatoe. In times of monke the brocky the rocky do doth be the best tool for a good rave. ye oldowan years ago aka 2.7-1.7 mega-annum, the rocketh was bonked 5-6 times to perform thunk thunk tasks. held by the habilis und maybe young australopithecine monke twas basic but sharp flakes and bonked rock scraped flesh from the bones of the delicious innocent. Where? Africa. So what? An old monke can make stuff can you? it shows where makey makey came from, boomer times. ye acheulean years ago bonking got serious, from 1.7 mega-annum to 100 kilo-annum the bonking happened ~50 times. showed the monke of dem times da ergaster and erectis did the smorts and that's the so what and the who. Where? Still African. why? because the sharp wannit sharp enough to do the saftery. ye mousterian years ago arkabar without the k-bar 600-100 kilo-annum, big monke neandrethalensis did the advanced bonk in a big brain way. why? because they were smort. where? not Africa, Europe. the bonk happened ~150 times but from big rock to make advanced boi with many much skill. so what? the monkes they're getting swole in the brain. ye upper paleolithic years ago was maybe 100 or so grandpapi's ago, they did >250 bonks to create some ice toolness. where? yes. why? everything at once. so what? they were the big brain with the funky lead to good things in the nowness.

Hominin Evolution

 https://humanorigins.si.edu/education/introduction-human-evolution

To abstractly summarize (thank you original writer):
Hominin evolution is a lengthy process studied by paleontologists that shows the evolutionary change from ape to human. The ability to walk on two legs started to evolve over 4 million years ago as well as other important human characteristics like a large and complex brain, the capacity for language, and the ability to make and use weapons and tools. Most scientists recognize 15 to 20 fossils as early humans but since it clashes with the religious belief of creation it is not recognized by all scientists. Paleontology looks at the evidence provided by naturally buried and preserved fossils to understand their lifestyle and how they moved around. The way evolution occurs is due to passing on DNA that is better adapted to survival however sometimes the better ability to survive starts by the DNA changing by means of mutation. Species refers to a group of adults in a group that can breed and produce fertile offspring that can also produce offspring.

Picture that couldn't wait until after blogger shut down

 I painted and scanned a painting so now I will post it on blogger

Richard Killeen

The current task in art is to investigate a new artist. I have done some investigating of Richard Killeen recently (aka I scrolled through google images and decided what I liked about his art). Something I like about his art is the connected disconnection of the artwork. The items in the paintings are related to each other but they are barely touching.

Painting Folio Update

 I now have 11 paintings prepared for my folio

(images to come after Blogger shuts down)

I intend to plan and paint some more
