“Really? A 328-million-year-old octopus fossil? And it’s named for President Biden?” “Not an octopus,” Kelli answered. “An ancestor of the octopus. Syllipsimopodi bideni had ten arms.” “Why would someone name an octopus after a president?” Kelli gave up. Rand wasn’t going to get the whole evolution thing. “New discoveries are named after presidents all the time. Nine new species were named after Barack Obama.”
I read this around about 3 times. Interesting although I am presupposing that if the discovery was made by a Canadian scientist, we'd name it after a Tim Horton's treat or a type of maple syrup 😉
