In the 1990s, researchers in western Canada identified a new two-note song variant in white-throated sparrows, differing from the traditional three-note ending. While bird songs evolve, new dialects typically remain localized rather than replacing established ones.

However, a study found this once-rare two-note song spread "virally" across over 1,800 miles of Canada between 2000 and 2019, completely replacing the historic song. The reason for its widespread adoption is unknown. Senior author Ken Otter called this rapid, extensive cultural evolution of a song type "unprecedented." Learn more here.

In his latest book, *The Age of Extraction*, Wu argues that the internet, once seen as a source of widespread wealth and democracy, has instead created new economic classes and fostered autocracy.
