"Homo habilis… highly debated but shows distinct elements of bipedalism closer to humans in contrast with Australopithecus species. But then they changed the genus of ‘Homo’ to categorise this find which is sus. Especially when they didn’t standardise brain size relative to size and mass. I see Homo Habilis pop up a lot in our evolutionary tree even though we are uncertain of where it belongs." — 5 hours, 17 min ago

"I can't find the edition I'm reading on Goodreads but I am 40/443 pages in. Just finishing up the section on Variation under Domestication. Very interesting observations using pigeons as an example! The English used requires 100% of my concentration but that's the beauty of reading a book from 1859!" — Jun 05, 2026 03:21AM

“Memory is a double-edged sword, Uthas. It can keep you strong through dark times, but it can also cripple you, keep you locked in a moment that no longer exists.”

“Hate them? A man might as well hate the sea for the friends who have drowned in it. No, boy, I don't hate them. I don't know them all, and it is a principle of mine never to hate a man I do not know.”

“It is hard to be angry when one has seen the sun rise,' she said.
It seems to be true,' he admitted. 'I wonder why.'
Because it makes one feel so small and insignificant. It has been rising forever and will rise forever no matter what we do or do not do. All our problems are as nothing to the sun.”
