Sagt man für die Evolution, die entsprechend der Theorie Darwins stattfindet "darwinistische Evolution" oder "darwinsche Evolution"?

Since many people are canceling their streaming services, I can recommend a new documentary series from NOVA PBS about the origin story of Homo sapiens. It includes several recent discoveries on the different human species, as well as the impact that climate change had on our evolution.
The first episode was aired yesterday and you can watch it for free thanks to public television 💚 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjH71hmrGGQ

Really love it when there's a new paper that makes you go 🤯🤯🤯
'One queen ant, two species: the discovery that reshapes what ‘family’ means in nature' 🐜

Living organisms are assumed to produce same- #species #offspring.
But this is not the case for Messor ibericus, an #ant that lays individuals from two distinct #species.
In this life cycle, females must clone males of another species because they require their sperm to produce the worker caste.
As a result, males from the same mother exhibit distinct genomes and morphologies, as they belong to species that diverged over 5 million years ago.
The evolutionary history of this system appears as sexual parasitism that evolved into a natural case of cross-species cloning, resulting in the maintenance of a male-only lineage cloned through distinct species’ ova.

"Living organisms are assumed to produce same-species offspring." You'd think this would be obvious and yet...the natural world. [2/]

Users of #GNOME#Evolution mail client: in #Debian13#Trixie, the Message-ID search (via command line) is broken. 😔
It got fixed already (see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/3079) but the fix version 3.57.1+ is too new in comparison to the Debian version 3.56.1-1.
There is a workaround to do a manual search within the UI:
Search → Advanced Search: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/evolution/help/mail-searching.html
"Add Condition" → switch from "Sender" to "Free Form Expression"
mid:""
It will get fixed in Debian in four years. 🙄
HTH

J'en ai marre de switcher trimestriellement entre #Thunderbird et #Evolution
Le premier est bien plus stable, mais le second est plus pratique, plus joli, et mieux intégré.
J'fais quoi, moi, dans ces conditions ? 🤔
Welcome social coder. Let's focus on social experience design in order to cocreate socio-cultural solutions that scale from individual needs to our inter-personal relationships in order to leave 'societal imprint'.
#SX is a natural extension to #DX and #UX that goes beyond technical systems and socio-technical platforms. SX unites sociosphere and technosphere to add missing social layers of the open social stack to our fediverse.
We are a commons. We are people. We are in control. We evolve. ✊
🎯 Mission. Support communication and cocreation of all participants in the #ActivityPub ecosystem to help foster healthy growth and #evolution of the fediverse.
☀️ Vision. An inclusive #fediverse, collectively evolved, where people can find friends and peers in safe environments, to communicate and engage in rich social activities of all kinds.
🫂 Audience. Any fedizen from across the globe who interacts with others on the basis of #Humanity and respect of each other’s #Freedom and #HumanRights.
It's amazing to see that #DeGoogling is possible. 😎🙌

Natural interbreeding between wild tomatoes and potato-like plants in South America gave rise to the modern day spud around 9 million years ago, according to a new study published in the journal Cell. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/01/world/science-health/potato-tomato-heritage-study/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #potatoes #tomatoes #genetics #evolution
