Could you name the kind of primary structural steel used in cores?Not without Google... Silicon?
Not by a long shot. You can try the outside assist.
OK, Google found this one at the IAEA website:

It mentions zirconium alloys, stainless steels with yttrium oxides...
Not my specialization. Not near it. Our survival may depend
on such knowledge, such science, though not perhaps survival
on my next backcountry trip,-- appropriate preparations
required, but it's not nuclear science. %^)
we've been modifying animal genetics for milleniaDogs. Specialization.
Cats, horses, cows, goats, etc. All domesticated animals.
The number of varieties/breeds of dogs is quite large and
the influence of breeders' choices obvious. Some choices
were originally purpose-driven, bred for tasks. Now some
of it seems merely vanity...
'Parkay' dogs? -- "It isn't nice to fool mother nature."
Some dog breeds seem fairly unlikely to have evolved
"naturally" or to be able to survive well without humans...
Actually, yes. Though not in the original language.Singing may be more "love" than work.You can sing the Volga Boatmen's song?
So I would argue work before love.
Primate vocalizations are not about sychronizing group
work effort. I'll assert that individual "songs" came
before group ones, emotional expression before
the functional aspects.
..
It's there to make the meanal more bearable.
Consider songs in mysticism, liturgy, cermony,...
But early music was more than that. Consider indigenous
forms.
I did.
You have a good argument but not all that sound is vocal.
Depends on definition of "song",-- one common one
includes a vocal component. Now if we talk about
rhythm, you might better assert sychronization as more
important. Then we need to think about meter and not
just within western musical traditions... Tabla, for instance.

Think about making ramps.
Possible, but more difficult than you might think given the
number of downed trees and other conditions in the area.
In this case, the trail barriers are not man-made, but more
importantly, not man-removed.
There are larger issues of "forest management" in the area,--
it will burn intensely, when it does. East of it, drier, burned
large areas in 2002. It's second growth from logging in the
last century.
FYI: overflew the ridges where the Kim family had their
incident on the way back from OR.
I didn't follow details of the incident closely.
