Don't Eat Billy's Brains

Description
Our 'News to Us' starts with female dragonflies at the bar, and Elyse hearing about a crazy cool reptile for the first time (shoutout to the tuatara!) We then get to talk briefly about a find that was brought to a conference for physical anthropologists all about Homo naledi and their brain features.  Looking at some sassy tadpoles gave us some insight into cannibalism in the animal kingdom.  Then we went really into ( some might say too into) cannibalism in humans.  We touch on the plight of the vaquita and round out the episode by thanking all of you for your continued support!  As always check out the research on podcastbraindump.com.  Don't forget to rate, review and subscribe!
