Motherfuckers, we came from weird little tree rats. Out here getting full of ourselves just because we invented Moog synthesizers and they didn’t.

Scientists have discovered a family of retroviruses that invaded the genomes of chimps and other primates, silencing genes involved with brain development, while humans were left unaffected.

In this study, carrion crows were able to make decisions twice as fast as primates, including humans.
Let me briefly explain the findings and share my thoughts.

there might be feelings better than having your kid snuggle up asleep on you but there is no feeling like it. I am a simple ape and probably you are too
I am 100% in favor of people who don't want kids not having kids, but watching your kids play on the beach on a day where all your responsibilities are asleep is a peak human experience of a type you will struggle to get elsewhere.

Of course, no doubt part of that is simply a function of how little our denser populations overlaps with other primates' habitats. However,but does feel notable how many human cultures have unspoken rules discouraging or forbidding the consumption of other primates.

The birds accurately complete decision-making tasks twice as fast as primates, although their endbrains look considerably different.

Bonobo females hunt more than males, decade-long study reveals
In humans, hunting is considered a man's endeavor. But in one of our closest living relatives, hunting is primarily women's business.

Real talk I don’t like most primates that are bigger than a howler monkey but it’s more of a “no thank you, I’m good” reaction. They scare me in that way where I’m happy to just not be near them. I hope they’re happy. I’m good over here.
