Curtis V, Aunger R, Rabie T (May 2004). "Evidence that disgust evolved to protect from risk of disease". Proc. Biol. Sci. 271 (Suppl 4): S131–3. doi: 10.1098/rsbl.2003.0144. PMC 1810028. PMID 15252963. CHRISTINA WARINNER: Of course I do. So I work at both ends of the gastrointestinal tract. So I work on coprolites, which is paleo feces, and I also work on dental calculus, which is calcified dental plaque. So all the things that people spend money trying to get rid of I’m so interested in. And I definitely have favorites. There’s some that we’ve found that we’ve just found really fascinating information from. In addition to the re-issue's cover, other artwork included in the album's sleeve/liner notes is the famous 1498 woodcut by Albrecht Dürer, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. KATHLEEN DAVIS: That’s so interesting. Dr. Christina Warriner, that’s all the time we have for today. Thank you so much for joining us on Science Friday.

There are many synonyms in informal registers for feces, just like there are for urine. Many are euphemistic, colloquial, or both; some are profane (such as shit), whereas most belong chiefly to child-directed speech (such as poo or the palindromic word poop) or to crude humor (such as crap, dump, load and turd.).KATHLEEN DAVIS: And so, say you have a coprolite in front of you that you want to study. What kind of information can you actually learn from it?

And the microbial communities within the human gut microbiome and the dog gut microbiome, although similar in many ways, are distinct. And so we were able to use these two different lines of evidence to distinguish them. CHRISTINA WARINNER: So the oldest ones we looked at date to around 7,000 years ago and come from Neolithic China. The youngest ones that we looked at are actually just a few centuries old and come from Surrey, England. Where we had a really unusual case where there was a house that was constructed in the 18th century. And someone had taken a chamber pot that had a turd in it and walled it up into the house. We have various terms for excrement, polite and impolite, one of them being “waste,” from a root meaning “empty” or “desolate.” In fact the strong smell of animal excrement signals its richness in diverse carbon and sulfur and nitrogen molecules, and so its value as nourishment for other living things. When early farmers discovered that value thousands of years ago, they made possible the long-term success of agriculture, and with it the development of civilization.Praeger, Dave (2007).

Barnum is credited as a co-producer for the record, despite the fact that he had been dead for over 100 years at the time the album was released. Immediately annoying as they are, the smells of animal excrement are also tokens of an otherwise largely insensible but existential crisis for much of life on Earth. They’re a reminder of the inescapable reshuffling of matter and energy that keeps the great game of complexity going. The stench of the modern feedlot signals the fateful move by which Hero Carbon, the most gregarious and constructive of chemical elements, has managed to vault to new levels of invention, but at the price of devastating much of its achievement to date. That move was the arrangement of carbon chains into Homo sapiens, animals capable of mobilizing matter and energy on an unprecedented scale, and thereby damaging intricate ecosystems across the planet.
