      Regular doesn’t mean often. It could be regular by evolutionary standard, in which case the next reminder should come when we’ve evolved into crabs

        My hypotesis is that it needs to be absurdly funny for the trick to work. After 2 or 3 uses, it loses the absurdity so it doesn’t work anymore.

        edit: after another ~10 uses it gains absurdity again.

        hiccups are a confusion so maybe making you think about a fantasy triggers a lot of brain and distracts the confusion? it doesn’t work after a couple times because you have pathways to that though and your brain doesn’t need to do as much?

    Nice. Now can anyone find the original image so that I can actually see what’s going on? Very hard to make out anything behind the layers and layers of compression, recompression, screenshots, and compression again.

      Neil Shubin, the OP, authored a book titled Your Inner Fish that includes original art by Kalliopi Monoyios. The image is from his book. His X post, which I will not link, is the original source of the image. At the height of it’s popularity, there was a website yourinnerfish.com that featured the image as well, but it is no more.

    I believe this is referring to ‘An Earful of Jaw’ by Gould, however the diagram takes some serious liberties in its specifics.

      Not same but related: There’s a nerve that goes down from the brain to the arch of the aorta, loops around below it, then goes right back up to innervate parts of the face iirc. In fish, it’s a straight path. And it has been a thing since the first land animals emerge, including in giraffes and other long-necked creatures.

        I used this to finally shake a creationist friend. There’s a video on YouTube of finding this nerve in a giraffe cadaver.

          Laryngeal nerve / Vagus nerve!

          The event was hosted by Richard Dawkins and hadn’t been done before (on record anyway)

          The video is very short and everyone should watch (graphic giraffe dissection warning)

      All land animals came from fish like creatures, monkeys included. We just came from monkeys more recently.

      Lineage from fish (roughly) goes Fish>Amphibian>Reptile>Synapsid>Mammal>Primate>Ape>Human This is missing like a thousand steps for the sake of brevity.

      The most common issue we run into is that these are all colloquial terms. There are scientific terms we should use when talking about evolution but we don’t. In place of fish should be “vertibrates”. All vertibrates came from the first creature with a spine, which was a fish like creature. You can likewise do this with everything before Synapsid.
