Fascinating observation and written piece on adaptation……and other living groups follow the same pattern: unable to build an edifice, they disperse for survival, yet keep connections.

Great essay about adaptation Walter. So much of life (including in my field of human behavior) is happening "underground" and hidden from sight. Very clever cloaking maneuver!

BTW, your botanical drawings are really excellent! 👏

I like your term Pyrocene!

I only wish it were of my own invention! But one hears it bruited about a lot nowadays along with "Petrocene" and of course "Anthropocene.'
