How will humans #evolve into the future? How might humans evolve if our civilization was lost and the climate was unforgiving for millions of years? Or if two populations of humans were geographically isolated for that long? For this years #FediBookFair #FediHumans can get a free copy of HUMAN.

bretthodnett.comHUMANA remarkable exploration of family, society, and what makes us human, HUMAN will take you from the post-apocalyptic world of the near future, to the two very different societies that emerge 15 million years later, where those few surviving individuals have evolved to become something that we might not fully recognize as human.

#FangalFact 33:
Jamesiella is one of those lichens you could easily walk past without ever noticing. It hides among mosses in damp forests, delicate and quiet — and honestly, we still know very little about it. A small mystery in the lichen world. #Lichenology #Fungi #lichen #mycology #Forest #nature #science #biology #foraging #FungiFriday #SaturdayVibes #mushrooms #education #phdone #YouTube

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Velella velella is the by-the-wind sailor, a type of floating colonial siphonophore, almost like a tiny version of portuguese man-of-war. It is often found in large numbers on beaches because they have a "sail" set at 45° either to the left or right. As a result, they can sail differently depending on wind direction. It is thought both forms are mixed mid Pacific Ocean and are sorted by the wind, some going to the Americas and others to Asia.

"did you know a tomato is actually a fruit and not a vegetable"

ackshullyy,

that entirely depends on if you're looking at it from a biological or culinary standpoint.

In #biology, Vegetables are not a thing. You have Fruits, Seeds, Roots, etc, but Vegetables refers to all of these from a culinary point of view, rather than a biological one.

In the #Culinary world, a Tomato is a Vegetable.

In Biology, a Tomato is a fruit, a Potato/Carrot is a Root, Celery/etc are Stems, and never a vegetable
