evangelical christians are missing out with the whole not believing in evolution thing, that shit's cool as fuck

like look at this shit

this is an example of what are known as homologous structures. because of the similarities in bone structure, it suggests that all creatures shown here have a common ancient ancestor

essentially these all have the same bones, but shifted, stretched, fused, and warped by evolution and time to serve the purpose the animal needed

and they all do have a common ancestor, as does all life on earth

look at this crazy ass tree showing EVERYTHING started as a teeny tiny ancient bacteria and evolved and grew over millions of years to fucking EVERYTHING, all life being connected to this singular point

idk abt you guys but to me that's cool as fuck and I hate that people don't teach it in schools based on what a book said

My uni used to host this bio-art photography thing to show the pretty side of science and I had this pic waiting for over a year now, but they didn’t make an another edition, so I might as well post it here!

These little dudes are 5-day-old zebrafish larvae, fixed with paraformaldehyde and stained with Alcian blue to visualize cartilage. And the background is just the dark field of the microscope and some random mess floating around in glycerol.

These #extinct animals are Discosauriscus Pulcherrimus, that lived approximately 275 million years ago in the late Permian period. The carbonised #bones were found near Boskovice, in the Czech Republic. 🇨🇿

Bird man

Pierre Belon (1517–1564) was a French traveler, naturalist, writer and diplomat. Like many others of the Renaissance period, he studied and wrote on a range of topics including ichthyology, ornithology, botany, comparative anatomy, architecture and Egyptology.

In his L'Histoire de la nature des oyseaux (1555) he included two figures of the skeletons of humans and birds marking the homologous bones. This is widely used as one of the earliest ideas on comparative anatomy.

Enjoy, have fun, cheer up

"In a floor of a triclinium one of the panels is that of a skeleton, with a text “Euphrosynos”: “enjoy, have fun, cheer up”. A notice explains that in the 1st century BC skeletons started to be used. This mosaic is from the 3rd or 4th century when scenes of bathing and banquets (convivium) represent the most important activities of Roman socio-cultural life."

"SOX9 keeps growth plates and articular cartilage healthy by inhibiting chondrocyte dedifferentiation/osteoblastic redifferentiation"

Ablation of the chondrogenic transcription factor Sox9 leads to rapid cessation of longitudinal growth and articular joint destruction.
