Evolution 🧬

I captured this video of the Harvest Supermoon last night. Right as I started recording, a bird flew across it. Such a perfect moment! Filmed through my Celestron EdgeHD 8 with a 40mm eyepiece using my Samsung Galaxy A*5.

This image was made by stacking a 4–5 minute video of the Harvest Supermoon.
I used my Celestron EdgeHD 8 telescope, equipped with a 40mm eyepiece, and a Samsung Galaxy A*5 to capture the image.

You know how we’re often taught that evolution is a brutal, solitary struggle? The story of "survival of the fittest," where everyone is competing, fighting for their piece of the pie. It can feel like a narrative that justifies a certain kind of cold, competitive world.

There was a scientist named Lynn Margulis who looked at that story and said, in essence, "That's not the whole picture. In fact, it misses the most beautiful part."

She was a brilliant evolutionary , but she was also a mother, a thinker who saw the world through a different lens. At a time when her male peers were focused on competition and genes, she was captivated by collaboration—by the profound power of symbiosis.

She proposed a radical idea. That the very cells which make up our bodies, and the bodies of every plant and animal, weren't always the discrete units we see now. She argued that complex life began when simpler ancient microbes didn't fight and consume one another, but instead, chose to merge. One bacterium swallowed another, but instead of digesting it, they formed a partnership. The swallowed bacterium became the energy powerhouse—what we now call the mitochondria—inside the larger cell. Another microbe, capable of capturing sunlight, was incorporated and became the chloroplast, the source of life for all plants.

It’s a staggering thought. The very foundation of our existence is built not on a battle won, but on a partnership forged billions of years ago. Our cells are, in a very real sense, a collective.

Margulis faced immense pushback for this idea. It was dismissed as fringe, as the work of a woman who wasn't following the dominant, aggressive narrative of science. But she was stubborn and brilliant, armed with overwhelming evidence. She persisted, building her case piece by piece, until the scientific community could no longer ignore the truth she was presenting.

Her life's work is a story that validates what so many of us know intuitively: that connection is a form of strength. That collaboration can be a revolutionary act. That the most profound transformations often happen not when we wall ourselves off, but when we come together, creating something new, resilient, and magnificent from the fusion of our different strengths.

Dr. Jane Goodall, renowned conservationist, animal rights advocate, and chimpanzee researcher, has died at 91.

Dr. Goodall was known for her work studying and documenting the distinctive behavior of chimpanzees in Tanzania, which began when she was only 26 years old, and for founding the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977. During her initial research on chimpanzees, she discovered how endangered they were and went on to become a fierce advocate for their protection and animal rights at large.

Her passing was confirmed on Wednesday in a social media post by the Jane Goodall Institute, which read, “Dr. Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist revolutionized science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world.” Goodall was in California at the time of her death, on a speaking tour in the U.S., the statement said.

She was named a UN Messenger of Peace in 2002, received the Nierenberg Prize for Science in the Public Interest in 2004, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Biden in 2025.
