Recently, colonial algae fossils were identified from Canadian deposits with geometrically connected cells referred to as coenobia from the Cambrian period (~500 MA).

Well-known, often strange examples include the aardvark and platapus. Zooplankton also have these, some being quite contentious because they are often phenotypically plastic (variable features) but are genetically similar.

Nansen wanted to reach the north pole and thought the (untested) polar ice drift theory would do it. Amazingly, everyone wanted to join this 3 year "fools errand". <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/Nansen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nansen</span></a> proposed it in 1890 to the Norwegian Geographical Society and was financed by the Crown and private funds. The Fram ("Forward") cost about half the budget and was built in a year.<br>1/4</p>
