Oh I Can Probably Answer This!! I Love Spec-evo!

Oh I can probably answer this!! I love spec-evo!

the simple answer (i.e. columnar vertical bipedal build) is that our spines would probably be much more straight vertical and likely a bit more rigid. I’d imagine our pelvis and lower legs would be considerably more reinforced, and the arches of our feet would probably be nonexistent.

however, a more interesting route would be a convergent bauplan to theropods (i.e. balanced-fulcrum horizontal bipedal build)... imagine a human but with the spine aligned roughly parallel to the ground and a long, stiff tail like coelurian theropods. freaky, right? but hey, much less stress on the spine!

hey yknow how the human lower back sucks caus it hasnt had time to adapt yet to walking on two feet rather than all fours? how would our back look if it was made for walking on two legs would it be shorter, taller, wider, would we have more supportive bones between the ribcage and pelvis, how the fuck would we look

Reminds me of bio 1011. Photosynthesis is fucked up too. Tl;dr: evolution takes the quickest, easiest, and metabolically cheapest solution to a problem, not the best one. and we have to deal with the side effects.

life is back pain

My new podcast project is almost here!

Welcome to the universe, traveler. Stay tuned; you never know just what you’ll hear on the quantum waveband.

Pilot episode scheduled to dock at a podcast hub near you on February 3, 2019.

going thru phone pics and found this thing that was tacked up next to the toaster at my old job, if anyone needs some light toast eating reading material

so I accidentally typed the phrase ”Todd Meier’s Elder Civs” and I feel like I’m looking at something that shouldn’t exist

T-minus two weeks!!

Sneak peek of the pilot episode due in two weeks for Audio Drama Sunday. 👀📡🌌

Seriously. Get it together, Dr. Alvarez.
