Named "Colobus congoensis" and called "likweli" locally, it was first spotted in a blurry 2008 photo but wasn’t formally described until a team gathered #DNA, recordings, and field observations.

"Removal of African elephants causes coextinction of dung beetles, study finds"
news.mongabay.com/short-articl…
A field experiment in Kenya shows that dung beetles disappear when the African elephants they depend on for their fecal food and shelter also vanish locally.bobbybascomb (Mongabay Environmental News)
💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🧩🧠 Archaeologist Huw Groucutt reviewed evidence to challenge the “Human Revolution” #theory – the idea that a sudden cognitive breakthrough roughly 50,000 years ago turned #humans “modern.”
Instead, his #study argues that behaviors like toolmaking and using pigments appeared in different parts of #Africa at different times, then sometimes vanished before reappearing. Anatomical features also show this patchy pattern, and Groucutt says the real story isn’t a single eureka moment but a messy process that took hundreds of thousands of years.

Could Africa leapfrog the West by skipping its legacy infrastructure and mindsets that might make it harder to build a more solarpunk society?

Interesting story here. A coalition of African trade unions are challenging the World Bank's assumptions that energy should be private sector led, instead calling for public ownership and the demarketisation of the sector as well as ensuring that public subsidies are invested into public utilities rather than private ones.
In other words - everything we've been asking the Scottish Government to do here too.

A Pequena Cola de Cinto está case completamente revestida de armadura de dúas capas que non se pode perforar. E para protexer a súa barriga suave, enrosca e morde a súa cola. Tanto que non se pode desacoplar.
O lagarto vive nas rexións áridas de #África, pero nunca bebe auga.
Como saciar a súa sede?
E a pel.
Durante a estación chuviosa, é suficiente para el caer nunha poza, e o revestimento de avanzada alta tecnoloxía automaticamente chupará e acumulará auga.
