Here are some things I learned in Biological Issues and Paradigms this quarter:
- I like biology
- We eat the whole cake because we're evolutionarily programmed to eat the whole cake. If Homo erectus successfully tracked down a cake, you'd better believe he'd eat the whole effing thing. Who knows when you'll get your next cake?
- Boat-tailed grackles are becoming less and less efficient fliers because the ladies think the less efficient tails are hot
- Now = fingernail. Then = claw
- Ruminants have a farm of protozoans and bacteria to digest their food for them--talk about badass
- The original food pyramid was manufactured by a bunch of ignorant bureaucrats for a bunch of ignorant U.S. citizens
- Ancient whales were really seriously hardcore
- Charles Darwin was a college dropout who was put aboard the U.S.S. Beagle to hang out and drink with the captain
