Imagine a pinecone as heavy as a bowling ball and the size of a chihuahua. Believe it or not, such pinecones exist—and they belong to the coulter pine (Pinus coulteri), a conifer that can be found in parts of North America including California and Mexico.Photo: damontighe, CC BY-NC 4.0, iNaturalistvia amnhnyc#photography #pinecones

Why Males Exist by Fred Hapgood, 1979 An Inquiry Into the Evolution of SexA provocative examination of why the male gender exists at all shapes up as something of an antidote to the more macho sexual tracts that have been appearing in the wake of sociobiology. (E.g., Wallace, below.) The Atlantic Monthly science columnist goes so far as to say that "males have been devised by females to aid them in their competition with other females." #books #nonfiction #gender #males #sex #evolution

2/ But Hapgood observes--solemnly and reductively--that female worker bees feed their sisters three times as much as their brothers since they are three times as closely related to them! (Never mind body size; metabolism; functional differences.) So beware the Jabberwock. . . but for readers who enjoy fascinating accounts of the doings of birds and bees, they are plentiful and well-presented here. https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/a/fred-hapgood-2/why-males-exist-an-inquiry-into-the-evolution-o/
