Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s post is an audio file.<\/p>\n
I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll make a habit out of this, but I told someone recently how easy it is to make a podcast and I thought that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d better actually try it myself.<\/p>\n
So listen to this bad boy and tell me what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wrong with it.<\/p>\n
[Update: I can already see that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hard to update\/correct an audio post. For example, right after I posted it, someone pointed out that I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t connect the dots about why a larger brain might lead to fewer successful births.<\/p>\n
(I meant that larger brains have to fit into larger baby heads, which makes childbirth harder. Also, the way to get around having such large heads at birth is to let the baby be born even earlier in development than human babies are born. Which may make them even less likely to survive.)<\/p>\n
Also, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m starting to think that fewer, not more, people will get to a post if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s audio. Shrug.]<\/p>\n
