The evolution of infant-directed communication: Comparing vocal input across all great apes Human infants receive more directed communication than other great ape infants, indicating that it evolved alongside language.

This is cool & similar to other infant care & feeding measures (suckling, kiss feeding), which in chimpanzees are overwhelmingly led by infants themselves & rarely by mothers, whereas in humans it's flipped: caregivers initiate interactions most. www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Another milestone!!

Manboys can't be trusted with tech. They want their mommies to take care of everything. This extends to getting mommies who look exactly like them is scary

Shudders!!

Being a primatologist, if one is not political then I guess we need to relook at who we are

Even with a full time job I find @Behaviour2025 to be way out of my budget happening in my city. Anyone else facing the same?? I really hope students get to go to this great conference because if they can't afford here at home, it is evil to think that they can afford anywhere else. #inclusivity??

I’m happy to share that I have been elected as Vice President For Student Affairs at INTERNATIONAL PRIMATOLOGICAL SOCIETY!

I am looking forward to make primatology a more inclusive and rewarding experience for students all over the world. I need your support throughout this journey.

Israel guided 1.5 million Palestinians into Rafah. They moved the "safe zone" further and further south, until Rafah was all that was left. Now they're bombing Rafah, and people have nowhere to go, nowhere to flee. It's genocide.

Israel strikes Rafah refugee camp, 37 killed, local health officials say Israeli strikes on Gaza's southern city of Rafah killed 37 people and wounded dozens, local health officials said on Monday, after U.S. President Joe Biden told Israel not to attack Rafah without a credible plan to protect civilians.

i feel so sick. 1.4 million palestinian refugees were chased from their homes to rafah. now israel is bombing there, too.

Tweet from @Lana_Tabour a researcher in colonialism and Palestine. Two pictures, one showing the ruins of a devastated area in Gaza bombed by Israel, with architectural schematics of new housing from an Israeli company planning to build over the ruins of Palestinian Houses and buildings where Palestinians were murdered. The second shows a colourful schematic of where these new Israeli beachfront properties are due to go, as if in a brochure. Tweet reads "“A house on the beach is not a dream”: An Israeli real estate company specialising in Jewish settlements in the West Bank is planning for the day after. This is beyond aspirational, their staff is already working on plans."

This is monstrous. “A house on the beach is not a dream”

An company from #Israel who specialises in Jewish housing in Occupied Palestine is already promoting a house on the beach over the ruins of #Gaza.

Settler-colonialism on the back of ethnic cleansing of #Palestine.

Monstrous.

Ukraine and Israel and the Two Joe Bidens In Ukraine, Biden has spent two years articulating a stirring argument for a rules-based order. In Israel, he set about burning that argument to the ground. Is a morally consistent foreign policy poss...

My linocut print of Sun Wukong or Monkey. In my print Monkey is helping himself to those Peaches of Immortality. The block is printed by hand in dark brown ink onto lovely 8”x 10” pearlescent paper in a golden cream colour, with collages washi (chine-collé) papers for his blue jacket, orange striped tiger skin pants, red striped phoenix feathers and peaches (pale orange fruit with green leaves).

Internal Doc Reveals Biden’s Troubling Climate Summit Plans Government memo suggests the Biden administration is angering allies by undermining strict standards for a new global carbon market.
