 #Primates #Evolution #GreenButteryflyGames #Conservation #BoardGames #Science Summary Happy 2026, everyone! To celebrate Darwin Day (February 12th), we have a special 90-minute episode with Will and David from the Common Descent Podcast to talk all about Primates! We'll cover the new game by Green Butterfly Games, all six clades of primates it showcases, and tons of other fun facts about us an our arboreal cousins, like how monkeys rafted from Africa to South America and why Aye-ayes are the best nose-pickers. So grab a banana, build a nest, and settle in for a lively discussion of Primates.

Brian 0:12 Today, we're going to discuss primates by green butterfly games. Hey, welcome back to gaming with science. This is Brian. This is Jason. And wait, we've got some other people here. Brian 0:26 Will and David, you're back! Will 0:27 We're back. David 0:28 Can't get rid of us, Brian 0:30 no. Well, not that we would want to actually, this whole reason that this entire episode happened is actually your fault, so please explain yourself. David 0:38 Oh, that's true. We this game was sent to us. We were sent it as a gift from one of our listeners, yeah, oh, we should have, we should have looked up who it was that sent it to us. That would have been really good to get the name. Jason Wallace 0:48 Thank you, anonymous. Listener of another podcast, Brian 0:54 common descent. Listener, whoever you are, thank you and make yourself known. You guys got a game, and you said, Well, we know some people who want to play, who like to play science games, and you approached us, which is totally different, because that's not how this works around here. We usually have to chase people down. David 1:08 We got the gift. I think it, I think we received it shortly after the last time we recorded with you guys. Brian 1:15 Oh, wow. David 1:16 And it was a really cool because it's the it's a perfect game for your podcast? Brian 1:22 Absolutely. David 1:24 We thought it would be super fun, and so, yeah, it was one of the first things we did is we said, hey, do you guys want to play this you want to come back and play this game with us? Brian 1:31 Yep, and we did, and it was fun. And we even did it the weekend of the museum meetup at Fernbank, which, again, is going to date this episode, but whatever, that's fine. We're releasing this episode that will also be our episode that's closest to Darwin Day. So it's also a good game for Darwin Day. So I'm excited to talk about this game. It has a huge amount of science content, and I'm excited about the conversation we're going to get to have about primates and how they're weird. But before we get into that, why don't we do a little bit of science banter? Anything you guys would like to talk about? Will 1:58 One that's on my mind because I literally just finished taking notes on it for one of our news sections, which will come out before this. So it won't be, I won't be spoiling our news. There was a study on dung beetles that have evolved to be necrophageous. So eating dead bodies, Brian 2:16 Did they roll them up into little balls? Will 2:18 Yeah. And this is a thing that I was aware of. We talked about this in the decomposing episode, there are beetles that basically roll up a bit of a meatball and roll it away, bury it and let their young feet off of it, Brian 2:30 okay, Will 2:30 instead of dung, yeah, meatballs. Brian 2:33 That's a different meaning of meatball. Yep. Will 2:37 And there was, there's a group of dung beetles that have evolved to do this, and they studied it by finding those underground Brian 2:48 meat? Will 2:48 open like like like burrows that they used to there are Ichnofossils...
