Why one branch on the human family tree replaced all the others | Aeon Essays

We are just one branch of a diverse human family tree. Aside from Neanderthals, who were they – and why did we replace them?

In 1930, a band played music for cows to scientifically test whether music affected the amount of milk they produced.
According to a study by the University of Leicester in the UK, cows really like music, and the type of music can make a significant difference to them. Classical tunes have been shown to relax cows, while upbeat music with a tempo of over 100 beats per minute can stress them out.
Researchers measured the cows' musical preferences by tracking changes in milk production - an indicator of their stress levels.
The results showed that songs like Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and Beethoven's "Symphony No. 6" were the cows' favorites.

Hey @GreatwhiteNorth I was thinking other day and remembered you were in the CG in Alaska,(thanks for your service) just curious if you ran into any of those crab fisherman back when, before they became famous on deadliest catch series on TV. Just amazing what you all do.

Yeah, I knew a bunch of em & worked on a lot of the boats (Hydraulic repair/troubleshooting & machining), most are just regular dudes but they do ham it up for the camera's just to keep the audience interested. Lost two best friends that were skippers in Kodiak to icing induced roll overs. All hands in one and 5 in the second accident.

Sorry to hear that. Hug. I did not know what iced induced roll over was so looked it up and found a YouTube video about a tragedy in the Alaska area in 2021. I had no idea something like that was even possible. Could boats ever been built with some kind of radiant heat system to prevent such a hazard?

Just have to keep up on it unfortunately and bang it off throw over the side with mallets,hammer drill,and watch out for pieces falling on you that weigh hundreds of pounds. Then go back to fishing,tough group of people. Just for Crabs.

The Golden are found primarily on sea mounts. My good friend Gary Cobban had a quota for them & brought us some. IMHO they are the "Best of the Best" as far as crab are concerned. He was Skipper/owner of the Scandies Rose in her final days along with his youngest son David and three other crew members.

As the biker was flying down the road, he goes over the bridge & he finds a cop with a radar gun on the other side lying in wait.
The cop pulled him over, walked up to the bike & with a patronizing smirk he asked, 'What's your hurry?'
The biker said: I'm late for work!!
The cop asked: what do you do?'
'I'm a rectum stretcher responded the biker.
The cop said; A rectum stretcher & just what does a rectum stretcher do?'
'Well, I start by inserting one finger in the rectum, then work my way up to two fingers, then three, then four, then with my whole hand in
I work from side to side until I can get both hands in, and then I slowly but surely stretch it, until it's about 6 feet.'
'And just what the hell do you do with a 6-foot asshole?' he asked: ' You give him a radar gun and park him behind a bridge...'

I have a true story about 18 y/o me and the CHP.

I was driving home after landing. I was flying down the 405 toward home with a line directly in the center of my car (I just finished taxiing to North End and you taxi with your front wheel on the line until you are large enough they bring the tow yuke to park you). Doing an easy 80ish, knowing me closer to 100.

I see lights and I knew it was me, pull over and this CHP officer with a southern drawl and their Smokey hat saunters up to my window. The man with the sunglasses, hat and Santa belly says, "Where's your license to fly?"

I'm shocked as I'd just received my pilots license that day and wondered how he knew, so I happily dug through my purse and presented my newly minted airman's certificate. He looked at it, turned it over, looked at me. Took off his sunglasses and looked at it and me again and then said (lacking his a southern drawl, all business), said, "Maam, may I see your driver's license and registration." I immediately handed him both and he looked at them and me a few times. He handed all three things back to me and said, "Keep it under 80." and walked away.

The look on his face was absolutely priceless and I was very disappointed because it was only later I realized he was just being sarcastic and did not want to actually SEE my pilot's license I was so damn proud of lol.
