One of my all-time favourites. Stare at the red dot on the woman's nose for 30 seconds, then look at an empty wall while blinking quickly. I promise it's worth it... https://t.co/l3P9NTxS8z

Reptile is a paraphyletic grouping: It doesn't make evolutionary sense – unless you include birds.

Likewise, monkey is a paraphyletic grouping unless you include humans and the other apes, and fish is a paraphyletic grouping unless you include mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.

What is it like to be an octopus? 🐙 [THREAD.]

Octopus nervous systems are less centralized than ours. Two-thirds of their neurons are in their arms, which are partially autonomous.

"Monkey" is a paraphyletic group, unless you include the apes.

"Fish" is a paraphyletic group, unless you include the tetrapods (mammals, reptiles, birds, and amphibians).

So, if we stick to monophyletic groups, humans are monkeys, which are a type of fish.
