Humans assemble into vast social networks, like networked computers. The emergent intelligence of towns and cities- thousands or millions of people generating new ideas, behaviors, tools- is vastly greater than a tribe of nomadic hunters. When linked by trade, the processing power of these cultures increases further. Advances in human culture are driven by connections between people, not just individual intelligence. https://www.nicklongrich.com/blog/why-some-species-thrived-after-catastrophe-some-rules-for-making-the-most-of-an-apocalypse monthly 0.5 2021-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2b0a9bce2304380c45d8b0/1597949377805-Z4JDNB3I31FVY3742M1R/Untitled43291515335119210149152336192355235253161.png Blog - Why some species thrived after catastrophe– some rules for making the most of an&nbsp;apocalypse The asteroid 243 Ida, and its little moon Dactyl https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2b0a9bce2304380c45d8b0/1597949468139-7DRTWIUUL2D6B107KIYG/Untitled432915153351192101949152336192355235253161.png Blog - Why some species thrived after catastrophe– some rules for making the most of an&nbsp;apocalypse Sharks were amazing survivors.

Titanoceratops came from somewhere in that yellow box- an area of about 5 by 5 miles- 25 square miles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2b0a9bce2304380c45d8b0/1600140237059-IPYDQM4V7M28SH5ALYWK/image-asset.jpeg Blog - The Discovery of Titanoceratops ouranos The specimen comes from either the Fruitland or Kirtland formations of New Mexico. Although we have photographs of the quarry, it’s proven impossible to relocate so far. The fossil comes from a fine-grained, organic rich sedimentary layer with little flecks of orange amber. I suspect it’s probably Fruitland but who knows. Hopefully someone can relocate the quarry- or another skeleton(!) someday. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2b0a9bce2304380c45d8b0/1600140348625-NWJHYNJWEQNUZ1W3SFVW/NIck+Longrich+Winston.jpg Blog -

Based on a concept sketch of mine. I said I wanted something that looked like it could be on the cover of a heavy metal album, or a tattoo on the arm of the bad guy in a Lethal Weapon movie. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2b0a9bce2304380c45d8b0/1631456801552-6OZTN1ETX6YCZFF9DQM2/Stoned+in+the+Stone+Age-+By+Nick+Longrich.jpg Nick Longrich - Art Portfolio Art for a popular piece on prehistoric drug use, Nick Longrich, 2022. The drawings are traced from my photos of cave art by Sandawe and Bantu in Kondoa and Hadza in Eyasi, as well as drawings from the literature by pygmies and bushmen. The silhouette is a Hadza hunter, whose bow has been replaced by a spear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2b0a9bce2304380c45d8b0/1631720163696-RUOIE1WNANH5IUGC2VIL/Pluridens+Low+Res.jpg Nick Longrich - Art Portfolio The mosasaur Pluridens serpentis, by Andrey Atuchin, 2021. Pluridens has small eyes suggesting it foraged in low-light conditions using non-visual cues like the tongue and mechanoreceptors. It is made to look a bit like a deep-water shark, the sleeper shark, going after a deep water cephalopod, a vampire squid, and hunting with its tongue. It sort of riffs on the classic sperm whale versus squid scene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2b0a9bce2304380c45d8b0/1631720308957-BTPZT0T8KZ8ZUJSQVYET/Xenodens+by+Andrey+Atuchin-+low+res.jpg Nick Longrich - Art Portfolio The mosasaur Xenodens calminechari by Andrey Atuchin, 2021.

Early versions were a little too freaky (the mammal was struggling desperately) so it was downplayed to have the mammal slowly drifting off into unconsciousness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f2b0a9bce2304380c45d8b0/1631454464785-50D6QW1MPAIYG7DS5GMS/New+Archaeo+test+C.jpg Nick Longrich - Art Portfolio Archaeopteryx lithographica, by Carl Buell.
