Late Pleistocene Satan

I made this to bring law and order to the late Pleistocene as depicted in the current year.

@MiloGaillard3 @TM9380 Calm down, it’s a name, nothing more.

Lmao

Actually a really good point I never thought of in the context of paleoanthropology.

[John Hawks @johnhawks]

One of the biggest potential biases in fossil samples is sex. With few individuals, it’s unlikely that the number of male and female individuals will be evenly balanced. One sex may be entirely absent. This is skewing our view of a mysterious group: the Denisovans.

@2_toned4life @ashwindollar @gunsnrosesgirl3 I’m glad I drove you into a corner where you can’t even attempt to defend your belief and instead state that you are right. Very cool. Good luck out there.

[Late Pleistocene Satan @SatanLate]

@2_toned4life @ashwindollar @gunsnrosesgirl3 No they are in fact real fossils that you can find on display in museums around the world. Perhaps you should visit one? You might learn something.

The real question is why do you think they’re not real? Because they don’t fit your pre-determined world view?

[Late Pleistocene Satan @SatanLate]

@2_toned4life @ashwindollar @gunsnrosesgirl3 I mean transitional lifeforms ARE all over the fossil record. Evolution of humans, whales, horses, birds and many others are well documented. Why do you think they are not?

[Late Pleistocene Satan @SatanLate]

@2_toned4life @ashwindollar @gunsnrosesgirl3 I mean it takes many mutations to classify a population as distinct species, and it doesn’t happen suddenly. The nylon-eating bacteria showcases how mutations can create new species though.

@RedRubyDino @gunsnrosesgirl3 Please show me.

The newly-described tortoise, Chelonoidis pucara, about to be deadlifted by a grumpy Megatherium americanum in Pleistocene Argentina 🇦🇷, 16 KYA.

@FossilLocator @OnRallyRd Does this mean the S. ungulatus holotype might have actually had 8 tail spikes as originally interpreted?

Honey bees are not native to North America, remember that kids.

[Entomemeology @entomemeology]

Save the native pollinators

[Late Pleistocene Satan @SatanLate]

A far more valuable use for this technology.

Meet Neka Kayda, the world’s first cloned Red ‘Ghost’ Wolf. She is a rare coyote + Red Wolf, carrying ancestral DNA once thought lost.

Is this not THE most WWD-coded clip ever? PERFECT framing, PERFECT action - serious of FORTUNATE events

[Late Pleistocene Satan @SatanLate]

This “looks, acts, functions like a dire wolf” is literally impossible to actually prove or disprove beyond the skeleton and some soft tissue gleaned from DNA.

We don’t know exactly how dire wolves acted or functioned, and we have no idea how these modified grey wolves would.

A statement from our Chief Science Officer, Dr. Beth Shapiro, on the dire wolf project

[Late Pleistocene Satan @SatanLate]

@AlHendiify That is NOT what he said. He said we should celebrate removing species from the endangered species list, when they’re no longer endangered, not removing the endangered species list itself. He then say he hopes there will be a time when we don’t need an endangered species list.

[Late Pleistocene Satan @SatanLate]

Obviously I’m highly biased towards the Pleistocene, but it’s really amazing to see a lesser known time period fleshed out and brought to life in such detail.

We're proud to reveal our new posters! A lot of effort went in to the big mural-style poster especially. These will soon all be shipped out to backers who ordered them, and eventually we'll open an online store where you can buy them as well!

You know what? Today might be turning around.

[Vincent @domesticus1]

Scientists have successfully cloned Elvis. Despite not using actual Elvis DNA, he looks and acts exactly like how Elvis probably did. From a phenotypical perspective, they're the same person.

[Late Pleistocene Satan @SatanLate]

Overall, this is a publicity stunt and I’m sure this will have further consequences to the public perception for decades to come. These “dire wolves” are like the Jurassic World to Dolly’s Jurassic Park.

[Late Pleistocene Satan @SatanLate]

I woke up to a friend sharing an article on this. I thought it would be a late Rickroll for April 1st. Turns out, the only joke is these fools thinking they cloned real dire wolves. I’m convinced they don’t know what they are with their constant Game of Thrones allusions. 🧵

SOUND ON. You’re hearing the first howl of a dire wolf in over 10,000 years. Meet Romulus and Remus—the world’s first de-extinct animals, born on October 1, 2024.

The dire wolf has been extinct for over 10,000 years. These two wolves were brought back from extinction using genetic edits derived from a complete dire wolf genome, meticulously reconstructed by Colossal from ancient DNA found in fossils dating back 11,500 and 72,000 years. This moment marks not only a milestone for us as a company but also a leap forward for science, conservation, and humanity. From the beginning, our goal has been clear: “To revolutionize history and be the first company to use CRISPR technology successfully in the de-extinction of previously lost species.” By achieving this, we continue to push forward our broader mission on—accepting humanity’s duty to restore Earth to a healthier state.

But this isn’t just our moment—it’s one for science, our planet, and humankind. All of which we love and are passionate about. Now, close your eyes and listen to that howl once more. Think about what this means for all of us.

Show me an xray of the baculum, the penis bone. Dire and gray wolves are most easily distinguished skeletally with it due to it being larger in dire wolves. It’s a diagnostic feature of the species. Surely it was edited? Surely it didn’t match their public image and was omitted?
