About Just Another Animal

Are you able to move? Do you have to eat food? Can you sexually reproduce? Is your body made up of multiple cells with a nucleus? Do you have a nervous system? If this sounds like you, congratulations! You're just another animal. Our species history starts at least 300 Kya, most likely in the Congolian forest-savannas. We're a monkey from Africa that can climb trees for fruit and partake in social grooming, but something's a bit... off. Unlike other primates, we can only walk on two legs, and most of our hair is thin with little melanin. Lean in and listen to learn about our place in nature.

Monkey Books and Movies

Interested in learning more about your fellow monkeys? Listen to find out what books (4), movies (8), and shows (6) I recommend that give a non-fiction perspective on different species in the clade Simiiformes. The movies and shows are available on various platforms (which I state) like Amazon Prime, Disney+, Netflix, Paramount+, and YouTube. The picture is of a male Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) in a tree. Photo taken by Jorge Lopez Soriano.

Meet the New Humans That Are 99 % Similar

Should us and chimps be in the same genus? I’d say, “duh!” In this episode, I discuss what differentiates primates from other animals. Then, I talk about divergence times among the apes, as well as percent similarity between us and other hominoids. The picture is of two young chimpanzees havin’ a good ol’ time.

We All Do It… And Boobs

It’s the purpose we’re all here on Earth to do. I talk about what it is and how to do it. Ever wondered why female humans’ mammary glands “stay swole” starting at puberty? Also, learn what separates the two sexes beginning at birth, and once we begin to sexually mature. The picture is of two geladas from Ethiopia in the dorso-ventral position. Photo taken by Tambako the Jaguar.

Are you a baby-talking naked ape?

We are monkeys. We aren’t naked apes. Humans ain’t so special. And please, stop talking to other animals like you do to your toddler! Find out several lil tidbits that’ve been rollin’ around in my mind. The picture is of a female mountain gorilla with her baby in Rwanda. Photo taken by Charles J. Sharp.

Mammals and Mammaries

Learn about what a mammal is, and how humans fit into that group of animals. You’ll also hear about hair and mammary glands, which includes my strong thoughts on these topics. The picture is of a person from one of the Bayaka foraging groups in the Congolian rainforest. Photo taken by JMGRACIA100.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
