Are you ready for Thanksgiving? We DEFINITELY are and we're coming at you with a cool #sciencefact to get you EXCITED for tomorrow's festivities! Did you know that your favorite yam dish wouldn't have been as delicious as it is today without the help of prehistoric herbivores like mastadons? 🍠 In the Paleolithic era wild squash was toxic and tough and these large herbivores helped them thrive through their digestive processes (aka pooping the seeds out). We hope this excites this generation of archaeobotanists and paleontolgists! 🍠 #squarerootacademy #teamsquareroot #thanksgiving #paleolithic #yams #tpos #916ink #sacramentoprous #sacramento #wednesdays #wednesdaymood
