    Here's the relevant Nature article about specimens from the early vertebrate genera Haikouichthys and Myllokunmingia (and the corresponding Nature news article).

    Full preprint published on ResearchGate. Credit for the image is persistently given to Xiangtong Lei and Sihang Zhang, the first two authors listed on the paper.

    I don't know why you are being downvoted.

    The general populace is uneducated/dumb, that's why safeguards are implemented.

    I'm all for the idea of freedom, but making the exercise of that freedom informed.

    I do onsite IT support, and much of my job is preventing and undoing user fuckups.

    How many apps do you need to install per day? How many of those are sideloaded? I think that

    If you look into fauna before each major extintion events, things get weirder and weirder, so weird that Hollywood would have a hard time selling a movie with that shit
