#Moss can release scents to attract flies, mites or springtales to transport their spores. "If #mosses could smell, #petrichor and #geosmin would be their favourite scents - they are messengers of water." Not only their sexlife is fascinating: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/

One of the biggest influencers for #naturelovers is 99 yrs old: Happy birthday, David Attenborough! theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2

I like Robert MacFarlane's words: "Watching David, I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is."

"If you find it difficult to think of a #river as alive, try picturing a dying or dead river. This is easier ... Can a forest think? Does a mountain remember? Is a river alive?"
One of my favourite nature writers is Robert Macfarlane. And since I can follow him again on another place, I get his new texts. Here's a great #essay from his coming #book 'Is A River Alive': theguardian.com/books/2025/apr

🧵 research that ... we don't have (enough) studies yet."
That's the fascinating thing about #mindShifts: new questions arise. Their possible answers and the subsequent debates generate more new questions and new research ideas. Homo sapiens may not be wise at all, but #curious: Homo curiosus.

Being curious, asking questions: My way of scripting my podcast. I'm happy that I will never run out of questions about #kinship and #reconnecting with #nature! discoverwildlife.com/animal-fa

🧵 and therefore, please, no sense of #kinship. If you talked about #intelligence or #emotions in animals, you could become an outlaw. If you talked about watching horses take medicine, or #animals griefing, most people laughed at that crazy human.

It took nearly too much time for a change but it came. The primatologist and ethologist Frans de Waal was one of the scientists who impressed me, he analysed why the #mindShift in his field of expertise came so late. theguardian.com/books/2016/oct

✨National Crime Victims' Rights Week (#NCVRW)
🗓️ April 6–12, 2025

🧡 Connecting < KINSHIP > Healing

This year’s theme of #KINSHIP is a call to action to recognize that shared #humanity should be at the center of supporting all #survivors and #victims of crime.

KINSHIP is a state of being with survivors that drives vital connections to services, rights, and #healing.

❤️ KINSHIP is where victim advocacy begins.

It is difficult to accept that incest is the banal act of a completely ordinary person; and that it constitutes a genealogical crime, a specific form of child abuse (control, trauma, etc.).

The impossibility of seeing incest as a criminal sexual practice was remarkably demonstrated in an ethnographic study carried out by Léonore Le Caisne in the provincial village where the Lydia Guardo case took place.

The villagers perceived the Guardos as completely ordinary, a family like any other, with a hard-working father who was respected and looked on kindly, even though he did not hide his paternity from the villagers, shopkeepers and institutions. For the villagers, bound together by gossip, incest is a banal matter of procreation between a man and his daughter: ‘he was making children to his daughter’. They fail to see the asymmetrical relationship of kinship and age that constitutes this paternal incest: behind the gossip, the criminal practice of incest is passed over in silence.

Well interesting, #matrilocality of the Durotriges people:

'In southern Britain, the Late Iron Age Durotriges tribe often buried women with substantial grave goods. Here we analyse 57 ancient genomes from Durotrigian burial sites and find an extended kin group centred around a single maternal lineage, with unrelated (presumably inward migrating) burials being predominantly male. Such a matrilocal pattern is undescribed in European prehistory, but when we compare mitochondrial haplotype variation among European archaeological sites spanning six millennia, British Iron Age cemeteries stand out as having marked reductions in diversity'

An earlier review of 2022 studies on #Neanderthal #family life. Social structure according to #genetics looks like #patrilocal with #females moving out of groups.

We are close to 💯 per cent certain that #Homosapiens did the exact opposite -- daughters stayed with their mums, and sons-in-law came into the group to do #brideservice. We are so sure here because it's what #African #huntergatherers do. As a result, our lineage flourishes (thanks to grandmothers), Neanderthals dwindled (lack of grandmothers?) and numerous Neanderthal women could have moved into the incoming African origin groups.
