This was a discovery funded by the National Science Foundation, for whom work, I have the original hand drawn picture hanging in my office. Credit to Zina Deretsky
I learned in university that the first fish with 4 legs were fully aquatic. They developed them to walk on the ground of the ocean and later used them on land. That would make it a pre-adaptation. So the drawing has the evolutionary steps wrong. Would you agree on it? I’m just curious
I think that’s what I meant. The legs weren’t as developed as I remembered them but neither were they an adaptation after going on land. So the image is right after all, I just underestimated the limbs in the picture and overestimated the limbs of the transitional creature I learned almost a decade ago (so still after 2008). Thanks!
I’ve had it a few times. it’s… not something I’d go out of my way to eat. unless grandma was cooking it.
…you don’t want to know how much lard was used in that recipe. Which is why hers is so… amazing. funny how that works. fwiw, most of the lard was actually for the pan…but still it’d probably be enough to give your doctor a heart attack.
I’m assuming this is because the concept of absolute zero did not exist when most of these temperature scales were defined, whereas zero distance and zero weight were easily observable
I guess in terms of an actual weightless object… Not… But if you have 2 equal weight items, call their combined weight 1 weight unit, take one away, that’s half a weight unit, take two away, that’s zero weight units.
