If we observe how in embryonic development an organism is gradually created out of the liquid, our attention is drawn to movements which play their part in fashioning it according to invisible plans, though they are themselves not all visible in the finished form. They are like the hands of the potter in their abundance of possibilities, moulding a vessel from without and within and then withdrawing again into the invisible world. They are movements which originate in the will and spirit of a living being. As movements they are actually the creative and formative forces through which the idea underlying the forms can be impressed on the elements. Once this has been accomplished, the creative movement releases the form and appears in it as a function, of which the embodied being may now make use.

Given that there are some parrots, corvids, and lyrebirds have the ablity to mimic sounds around their environment including human voices/speech could it have been possible for some non avian dinosaurs to have the same ablity? Just imaged some raptors learning how to mimic the calls of their prey.
Sooo the organ that these lovely dinos have to mimic things is called a syrinx (an additional vocal organ that works with the layrnx). And it is actually a huge controversy when that structure evolved in nonavian dinosaurs! It's ancestral to modern birds, so it had to happen before then, but since it's a soft tissue structure, it rarely fossilizes, so we have no idea when it evolved. We see it in Vegavis! But that's a crown-bird. So that helps nothing. But maybe the fact that we've only found it in a crown-bird means that it only showed up in crown-birds. That said, a very bird like larynx was found in an ankylosaur in a paper published earlier this year, so the story is very clearly not done - and maybe mimicing could have even been possible with a very bird-like larynx. Who knows!
the ankylosaur paper in question: https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-023-04513-x

🗣️ Voice box: "The larynx, or voice box, is a hollow tube in the respiratory system. It's important for breathing, making vocal sounds & swallowing safely."

The social-engagement system depends on nerves that have their origin in the brain stem regulatory centers, primarily in the vagus – also known as the tenth cranial nerve – together with adjoining nerves that activate the muscles of the face, throat, middle ear, and voice box or larynx.

The stream of speech, like a flaming sword, pours forth from man, announcing the inner secret of his creation. It is the "sensitive flame", issuing forth from the region of the will, on which man can impress his moods—the "meteorology" of his soul. But he also communicates this to his surroundings, which take it in through the activity of listening; it is recreated in the receptive processes of the organ of hearing. The sensitive flame is the underlying concept both of the larynx and of the organ of hearing. In both it is the creative principle—an "organ" not as yet brought to the resting state of form, but retaining its functional quality as pure movement. It functions in the intermediate region where forms are for ever being created; with its delicate sensitive boundary surface, it is a portal through which all the imponderable forces may enter into the world of earthly substance.

Earlier this year I posted about how the voice and swallow clinic at my hospital keeps posting these really unique and a little horrifying social media posts of the larynx.
I can’t add to the post without unhiding the kind of unnerving larynx so here’s the old post.
They’re back and at it again! Hidden below for unchecked larynx.
You might have thought : oh, they’re going to just repeat the posts from last Christmas. That’s what I thought. But you and I are both fools.

This years post! Another Christmas tree larynx. Distinct and special.

And as a bonus, it turns out I had missed their Halloween post! Too subtle for me!

thoughts on the pinacosaurus larynx?
it is ridiculously cool, beyond that I want more people to weigh in on it etc. Like it has a lot of interesting implications but its such a new find that more research is needed
