Blame it on the Pill

Has pharmacology worked to change the evolutionary direction of humankind? Not a new theory as I have been hearing variations of this for decades.

Should also note that the birthplace of "the pill" is normally credited to Worcester, Mass (but it was actually in neighboring Shrewsbury).

Linky Links

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Bats and Dolphins Evolved Echolocation in the Same Way

- Substack raising $65 million led by Andreessen Horowitz. 

- I can recall when this was funny not an April's Fool joke gone wrong

- List of 50 books. I've read 15 of the books and will be putting some of these recommendations on my wish list. Good mix of fiction and non-fiction.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Given Curt Schilling's views on evolution - I wonder if he thinks it was God's will his video game company went bankrupt too... There's Farmer's Markets where farmers sell their produce. Why not Hunter's Markets where hunters can sell their excess game meat like venison?... I've long said that JFK would not be welcome in today's Democrat Party... Happy 74th birthday to Red Sox favorite Luis Tiant. If Catfish Hunter is in the Hall of Fame then Looie should be too... Some cool homages to Arthur Conan Doyle in Sherlock.. Why do they say "hike" before snapping the ball in football? What are they "hiking"? Seriously this little language nugget is bugging me... Neil Gaiman talks about one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes of all-time... Oversized Load would make a great title for a biography of Peter North...
