For the beginning of Cynodonts, use the Late Permian, around 260 MYA, with early forms such as Procynosuchus. This is the branch where the mammal-like jaw, teeth, palate, and breathing package really starts tightening toward mammals.

Prestwood writes on science-first philosophy, with particular attention to the convergence of disciplines. Drawing on his TST Framework, his work emphasizes rational inquiry grounded in empirical observation while engaging questions at the edges of established knowledge. With TouchstoneTruth positioned as a living touchstone, this work aims to contribute reliable, evolving analysis in an emerging AI era where the credibility of information is increasingly contested.
