at uni they told us that it is because it is related to the hedgheog protien, and two varients were already called desert hedghog and indian hedghog, and this one was called sonic hedghog as the guys wife was carrying a magazine with an advert for the character when he was trying to think of a name, there is also tiggywinkle hedgehog named after the hedghog in beatrix potter

I have a PDF to an insane study about how singing is a sexual selection thing in humans, but I am yet to read it.

I'm retarded and don't 100% understand how to read studies, so any nonna's interpretation is appreciated.

What are your nona's thoughts on IVG in humans? (In-vitro gametogenesis). Is it a possibility? is it too early to tell what can happen? is it impossible? is it something that could only happen far into the future? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Not really. Those were made to look like GoT fantasy wolves. This was discussed in the evolution thread.

>When a male bonobo oversteps his bounds — say, by hopping into a tree and shaking the branches while others are trying to feed — females in the troop tend to act fast.
>They kick him, they chase him, they scream at him.
>Male bonobos are decidedly bigger than females. Yet unlike in so many other species with large differences in size between the sexes, when it comes to deciding when to mate and who gets first dibs at food, female bonobos tend to be the ones in charge.
>Now, scientists say they’ve found the secret to this paradox: Female bonobos maintain power by forming alliances to suppress male aggression.
>The research shows that physical size and strength alone don’t determine power among these cousins of ours, offering potential lessons for humanity itself.
>“Women are often victims of male violence around the globe,” said Laura Lewis, a postdoctoral fellow and biological anthropologist at the University of California at Berkeley who was not involved in the research. “This study could provide insight into how women could build power to better protect ourselves from male violence — by forming and maintaining coalitions, or alliances, with one another, just like our bonobo cousins.”
>The power of female coalition formation came as a surprise… The vast majority of coalitions — 85 percent — involved females ganging up on males. And of the nearly 1,800 conflicts observed between males and females, females won about three-fifths of them.

Female bonobos are all the same and humans are extremely different. I would be happy to form alliances with some women while others would fit in better with the invading bonobos. This is why the human world isn't as b&w

I think we should all be able to unite to counter male aggression like this, at the very least. We don’t have to agree about everything, but at least this one thing…
