Let's go further back into #deeptime.

Archaeological evidence from South Africa (160,000-200,000 years ago) shows #humans engaged in creating art, new tools, and beads.

How did those humans do #politics 140,000 years ago?

Who the hell knows. But they did, necessarily.

And that is something fascinating to keep in mind for later.

🧵 #OTD the #Titanic sank in 1912. When I was a very small child, I knew an old woman who narrowly escaped this disaster. As the governess of a US millionaire's children, she was supposed to be travelling on the Titanic. They arrived too late in England and couldn't get tickets.

Shortly before her death, she gave me some old #yarn. I haven't dared to use it to this day because it's like travelling back in #deepTime. 113 years can feel so near.

This is a map of the Earth in the Cretaceous era.. ~82,000,000 years ago is in the late Cretaceous. This was the time of Tyrannosaurus Rex and the first flowering plants.

According to the latest analysis what else is ~82,000,000 years ago? The last common ancestor of Human and Dog. Our families parted ways before the asteroid strike that defined the K-Pg boundary.

And today we stroll through the neighborhood together and sleep in the same room. What a journey. #dogs #deeptime #science

"Phobos' Phobia" - Phobos, the larger of the two moons of Mars, is currently predicted to disintegrate in its planet's gravity in about 20 million years. Its fate might look a little something like this. Acrylics and ink, 2020.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4E6chPj-IQ #PBS #EONS is excellent and these surviving #deeptime episodes have all been fun.
This one with Kallie and Blake was particularly enjoyable.

"Deep time diligence is sort of looking at all the systems and the trajectories of these things and doing catastrophic risk analysis, doing all these kinds of things, doing these things collectively."

Here's a powerful demonstration of these realities we put together that went viral on Facebook, before I left there ✊ #DeepTime

"Coming face to face with the lionfish in the warming waters of the central Aegean is a reminder that the present ecological catastrophe is also a catastrophe of colonialism, one which has been unfolding for centuries."

I like 202025. Easy to use, self-explanatory, and a simple reminder that humans have been around at least 200,000 years, despite our extraordinarily fixation on just the past couple of millennia.

The world could use a lot more #deeptime consciousness:

Deep time is a term introduced and applied by John McPhee to the concept of geologic time in his book Basin and Range, parts of which originally appeared in The New Yorker magazine. The philosophical concept of geological time was developed in the 18th century by Scottish geologist James Hutton; his "system of the habitable Earth" was a deistic mechan...
