A Little Diversion -- Hyraxes -- February 28, 2023

 

A little diversion today, while fact-checking something.

From bibleref.com:

Currently reading The Rise and Reign of the Mammals: A New History, From the Shadow of the Dinosaurs to US, Steve Brusatte, c. 2022. where I first came across the reference to hyraxes in the bible.

As mentioned earlier, for a high school junior or senior going on to college to major in one of the life sciences, the three books that should be summer reading:

  • The Rise and Reign of the Mammals: A New History, From the Shadow of the Dinosaurs to US, Steve Brusatte, c. 2022.
  • The Mistaken Extinction: Dinosaur Evolution And The Origin Of Birds, Lowell Dingus And Timothy Rowe. c. 1998
  • The Mind of a Bee, Lars Chittka, c. 2022. Princeton University Press. A scientific treatise.
