<![CDATA[Milk Is an Evolutionary Marvel - The Atlantic]]> https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2023/06/milk-mammalian-evolution-nutrition/674487/

No one can define it, much less fully replicate it. If an alien life form landed on Earth tomorrow and called up some of the planet’s foremost experts on lactation, it would have a heck of time figuring out what, exactly, humans and other mammals are feeding their kids.

<![CDATA[The expanding orbit of Seattle science fiction writer Octavia Butler]]> https://www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-magazine/the-expanding-orbit-of-seattle-science-fiction-writer-octavia-butler/

Knowing that an author who wrote unsparingly about humanity’s capacity for violence and oppression dwelled amid such picturesque Pacific Northwest ordinariness is comforting. This quiet, unremarkable place would suit a diligent recluse, which Butler reportedly was. Her stories, whether set on alien planets or fictionalized Earths, rarely depicted such nurturing environments.

The fossils of our earliest ancestors found in South Africa are a million years older than previously thought, meaning they walked the Earth around the same time as their east African relatives like the famous “Lucy”, according to new research.
