The course you would be looking for is called "evolutionary biology". It might require some prerequisite course work though; such as math, biology and chemistry.
If that's Starbucks, most definitely not. ;-)
You can put other coffee in the Starbuck’s cups, but perhaps not in the Modelo cans. Coffee and beer are two tastes that definitely do not combine well.
They do look like they will hold enough café noisette to satisfy my needs.
Typical size.
I take the equivalent of 5 noisettes in a mug twice a day. It helps keep me sane
Is café noisette the French equivalent of espresso, then?
French equivalent of macchiato, an espresso with a little steamed milk

With a small shot of steamed milk. It is not a slightly noisy cup of coffee:

I would like to have a Turkish coffee some day again. At least that is what I assume that I had many many years ago. The restaurant had various Middle Eastern food and for desert I got a baklava and ordered a coffee with it. The coffee that I got was teeny tiny and I thought "WET?!" And then I sipped it. Strong and sweet coffee! Normally I drink mine black. I have a French Press and some Italian style stove top coffee makers, but I would need not only the right pot for Turkish coffee, but the right coffee too.
Greek coffee is very similar, it's down to when you add the sugar.
Specialist Greek or Turkish food stores should sell the correct coffee and Amazon definitely does, and the pots too

We are on a wild tangent here already and I got into an even wilder Wikipedia / internet search. And I learned some things about English. Apparently "Turkish coffee" is the correct term for what we call "Mocca". Mocca (English spelling "Mokha") is a city in Jemen (Yemen) which gave it's name to the Arabian/Turkish style coffee. It is traditionally brewed in a cezve but any pot will do. What you do need is a very fine ground coffee. I get mine only in Turkish stores and it comes from Libanon (Lebanon). They also have a pre-flavored variant (with cardamom).
Preparing mocca is a ritual and an art. First you have to caramelize the sugar then add water and bring to boil. Take from the fire, add coffee and spices and boil once more.
Just as I don’t like the notion of a shot of whiskey, I never did like the notion of espresso. It seems like a quick, “down the hatch” way to get your caffeine fix, and misses the point of a nice large cup of hot coffee to me: lingering, usually with a friend and some good conversation. As for my whiskey, I’ll take it like a proper Irishman…well watered in a tall glass.

I know that I can go the Amazon route for coffee. But I would like a local source,. Hmmm, technically since Amazon started in Seattle I guess I could call it a "local source".

so -- to understand the reality (in other words, real stats) of evolution like dates and brain sizes, we'd to either believe the reports from scientists as if they were not wrong, I did that for a long time.
have another cup of coffee, I buy mine from amazon or walmart. Yes, the cheapest kind. LOL.

OK, I'll have to rely upon what I read in pop sci articles pro or con about changes of opinion etc. Meantime I was thinking (yes, I think, I think I think) what "mutations" would make a gorilla-type (an ape that walks on all fours) find it better to walk upright and then have such a superior brain capacity -- if you understand the question. The theory is that these tree hanging swinging apes evolved to humans. OK, ok, not gorillas because for some reason no one knows what the "Unknown Common Ancestor" supposedly was -- but I wonder if scientists actually propose it was not upright walking apes like humans are. What do you think? The question is if humans evolved from apes (OK, an "Unknown Commoin Ancestor), do they think (imagine) that the UCA walked on all fours rather than upright like humans do?

First to clear up a misconception, humans did not evolve from apes, humans are apes.

Erica (https://www.youtube.com/@GutsickGibbon) has a series about the evolution of the monkeys and apes. The latest installment of that series is about the ancestor of those apes that evolved to become bipedal on the ground:
Follow her on YouTube and the next video of that series should answer you questions.

OK, what I mean is that there is supposed to be an "Unknown Common Ancestor," among apes (which you, of course, and others include humans, right?)First to clear up a misconception, humans did not evolve from apes, humans are apes.

Yep. And, if you have watched the video, you'd also know that the unknown ancestor is probably known and documented. We just don't know which one is our ancestor, there are just too many to chose from.
