lots of articles probably no one cares about but me aka PALEONTOLOGY YAY!
ATTENTION, SEATTLE F-LISTERS! Go see this Lucy exhibit for me! ;______; That's so awesome that she's in the 'States... why did it have to be on the other coast? One of the biggest paleontological finds in the past century... We never get good traveling paleontology exhibits here >w<
Also, you guys remember how they found that mammoth in the San Diego construction site a couple weeks ago?
They recently dug down a little further in that same place and came across A WHALE. (story here)
Those people are never getting their construction site back XDDDD I am also trying my best to ignore the flaming ignorance of paleontology in the comments.
What a sweet gig for those paleontologists. Usually going to digs means going out to the desert and living in a tent for months. They get to go to their dig and then go home and sleep in their own beds at night!
Lastly, potentially among the biggest finds in human-origin paleontology in years was announced this week: Oldest Human Footprints With Modern Anatomy Found. So Homo erectus almost definitely had a modern human-like gait. No more of this shambling stooped caveman nonsense please, TV! (also shows without a doubt what most researchers have thought for years; that modern-like upright gate came BEFORE modern-like brain size.)
Going home soon! Sister's on spring break starting today, so we're going to spend the weekend playing Lego Star Wars until our brains fall out our ears. Whee! XDDDDDDDD ♥
