New analysis suggests #human #ancestors nearly died out
Study claims 99% of human ancestors died off 930,000 years ago. During this time, the effective population sizeβa measure of the individuals who contributed to maintaining the populationβwas only about 1,300 individuals. It's a very small population, and would have left our ancestors at risk of extinction. We'd certainly put an equivalent-sized population on the #endangeredspecies list today. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/09/did-our-ancestors-become-an-endangered-species-a-million-years-ago/

SUPPORT PROTECTING FOR THESE ENDANGERED WHALES π
The Gulf of Mexico is home to Rice's whales, one of the world's most endangered whale species. Fewer than 50 of these magnificent mammals remain β yet they have no federally protected critical #habitat.
Rice's whales are hovering on the brink of #extinction. Vessel collisions, #oil spills, and chronic #noise from #SeismicBlasting and other #OilIndustry activities all threaten their survival.

@meerlala Indeed! I wonder why the rich ceased to enjoy eating #eels in the #19thCentury - snobbery presumably?
& it is shocking how many foods then cheap enough for everyman have become #CriticallyEndangered.
