That rabbit/hare post is messing me up. I’d thought they were synonyms. Their development and social behavior are all different. They can’t even interbreed. They don’t have the same number of chromosomes. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and coyotes can mate with each other and have fertile offspring but rabbits and hares cant even make infertile ones bc they just die in the womb. Wack.

These

are more genetically compatible than These

and that’s why morphology-based phylogeny has Issues

The problem is perspective. People always think dogs are the ‘standard’ animal, the metric to use for whether or not two organisms “look like” they’re related. When in fact they’re a massive outlier due to the fact that we fucked up this lineage of wolf beyond recognition with selective breeding. It’s why people always say “breed” when they mean “species”, especially when talking about groups like lizards which can’t even be defined cladistically since some of them are closer to snakes than each other. To say nothing of fish.

[thetinybutimportantthings]

I once read an article that emphasized there is no such thing as a fish. Sharks and rays, lamprey, lobe-finned fish like lungfish and coelacanth, bichir and sturgeon, and of course the multiple infraclasses of more “modern” fish groups are all only very distantly related to one another. They’ve maintained semi-similar body structures only because there are limited ways to efficiently move through water as a vertebrate. 

This

And this

Are more distantly related from one another than you and I are from a lungfish

Which is absolutely fuckin wild.

[bogleech]

Not only that, but all of us air-breathing land vertebrates, all the lizards and chickens and people and frogs, are closer to one another than those three “fish” are to one another as well.

and my personal favorite, it really fucks with people…

these

COOL.

just the other day, one of my friends mentioned this book, “Dinosaurs: A Concise Natural History,” which apparently has a (tongue in cheek) chapter that argues that Cows are actually Fish.

How to live when you don’t know left from right in a world where everyone else does.

It frustrated me a lot as a kid because I didn’t know what was wrong and took years to find workarounds. I was worried about driving but turns out I never mix up the pedals this way.

A lot of the time I’ll get the correct direction from hearing it so it’s not debilitating or anything. It’s just hard to put the words “right” and “left” in my memory along with an action.

Muscle memory is great though. Most people turn the sink to cold water without trying, so the more you practice something, the more it’s programmed into you without any pesky words.

You can also use this theory when living in a new part of the world where things are oriented differently than you’re used to. Just make up a new logic rule for the differences.

Happy navigating!

I’m just saying that maybe it wouldn’t have turned out quite as bad.
