#vegetarian #vegan #evolution Originally shared by Sean P. O. MacCath-Moran +Eve Volve: "Meat allowed us to evolve" Really? I think you're mistaken to believe this is a certainty, but what causes you to believe this is so, +Eve Volve ? As I understand it, there have been healthy, thriving vegetarians and vegans for as long as there have been humans. Some were so due to moral or ethical concerns, others due to resource utilization issues, others due to cultural taboos. All other factors being equal, the veg(etari)ans have thrived, and continue to do so.

I've been working on making something similar for pursuing mice in my house: a ton of cheap two-wheel robots that home in on anything warm and annoy/scare mice enough that they find somewhere else to live.
ReplyDeleteReally? Which robots are you using? Interesting application!

I'd love to see a picture of your robots! :)
ReplyDeleteThe article links to the paper which gives more details and has references, maybe you could find your answer there.
I'll go read the paper: thanks!
