La idea de evolución biológica lleva con la humanidad milenios. Civilizaciones como la neoasiria o el Antiguo Egipto, o filósofos griegos como Anaximandro de Mileto o Empédocles, ya hablaban de evolución sin causa ni fin (no teológica ni teleológica).

Ginkgoes have a unique, rich, natural history: from their origins during the age of dinosaurs to their spread throughout modern cities. Were they really saved by monks?

Did you know that Zeus is also a fish? How is Greek mythology related to scientific naming? I have recently revamped my article @ElephaBacteria about Greek gods and biodiversity.

For #FossilFriday meet the thylacocephala - a super cool group of swimming arthropods (potentially crustaceans), that were around from >400million years ago to just over 65. They have kinda weird anatomy, often with huge eyes, and chunky appendages at the front for catching prey.

Los #cangrejos paraguas o mariposa (género Cryptolithodes) son un curioso género compuesto por tres especies cuyos individuos se valen de su aplanado caparazón para camuflarse pegándose a las rocas.

Brachs on the back for #BrachWeek2020. Seems #brachiopods had no scruples when it comes to growing on their poor (very distant) cousins the #hyoliths, among other animals.
Figure from our 2017 paper on hyolith affinities.
