I don't think any hominin of floresiensis-like size emerged from Africa. Just floresiensis on Flores and luzonensis on nearish Luzon. They're probably descended from erectus that shrank "on site" so to speak.
They are some aboriginal australian stories about two other kinds of people - tall thin good ones and short stocky bad ones. I've wondered if that's describing neanderthal, denisovan or some other close but extinct branches of homo.
Gaudi architecture is legit amazing and worth the wait and crowds. Didn't even have time to see the sagrada familia, just the hotel and the park. Then we had the worst meal of my life in a tourist trap resteraunt on las ramblas. Even including that, so worth it.
Jiufen, taiwan - the village that people falsely claim inspired miyazaki's spirited away - is also just incredible. The views, the winding lantern-bedecked staircase, the teahouses. It's crowded and full of touristy knick knacks but i still took everyone who visited.
Also, a certain amount of high school level medical knowledge is wrong and we don't know it yet.
Mitochondria are probably way more complex and important than current textbook descriptions, gut biome and skin biome probably influence way more, etc.
This might be the single least shit shitpost i've ever seen.
That clock rules. What a thing of beauty.
