The age of language is still a point of contention. Nonetheless, most linguists agree that it started around the time modern humans (homo sapiens) evolved in Africa with modern skull shapes and vocal cords. Language evolved with the right tools in place — a large enough skull, a brain, and a voice box. Some anthropologists speculate that language may have evolved prior to the physiological development of modern brains and larynxes, but 100,000 BC is a good starting point

If you're telling yourself that you don't need to worry because you haven't noticed any dust mites in your house, think again. Dust mites are incredibly tiny creatures. They only reach a size of one-quarter to one-third of a millimetre, and your eyes cannot see them. You could see that dust mites resemble white spiders under a microscope. They are arthropods because they have eight legs (not insects).

Some pirates delayed burying their treasure because they wanted a piece of the loot first. And a pirate's treasure wasn't always gold or silver; it could also be food, lumber, cloth, or animal hides.

Since 1995, the Gala has raised around $145 million for the costume institute.

Regular toilet paper is still used aboard the International Space Station, but it must be compressed and packed in specialized canisters.

High altitudes, tropical climates, and rich soil are all factors that contribute to good coffee growing conditions. As a result, despite the Continental United States' rich and diverse landscapes, Hawaii is the only state suitable for growing coffee plants. It was producing coffee long before it became a state.

The 1980s were a prosperous period for Lamborghini, and the company's president at the time, Patrick Mimran, thought the brand should expand. Lamborghini continues to make fantastic engines for boats, but its attempt to manufacture and market a motorbike failed miserably. Boxer Bikes built the Design 90 motorbike, which included a Kawasaki engine. The bike received fifty orders, but only six were manufactured, including ideas. When GM took over Lamborghini, the project was put on hold and eventually abandoned. The last time we saw a Design 90 in the wild, it was auctioned off but failed to achieve its reserve price.

Termites are tenacious creatures that spend their entire lives maintaining the colony. They put in so much effort that they don't take any breaks. Imagine working seven days in a row without taking a break. These tiny bee-eaters are the model workaholics in nature! They are such destructive pests because most of their 24-hour workday is spent gnawing away at wood or other materials.

First Impressions was the working title for Pride and Prejudice. Yes, the title was chosen as part of a branding strategy designed to increase sales, with publishers opting for a "if-you-liked-that-you'll-love-this" approach. By sticking to the noun-and-noun formula to ca$h in those book sales, Jane Austen's blockbuster sales of Sense and Sensibility encouraged this name change.

Despite the fact that it's become commonplace to call the Inuit "Eskimos," this is neither their preference nor a representation of their cultural history. The term "Eskimo," which is thought to have been initially created by either the French or the Danes, probably meant either "snow-shoe netter" or "meat eater." In any case, the majority of contemporary Inuit see the term "Eskimo" as derogatory against their race. So be sure to avoid using the offensive term when speaking with anything from an Inuit community. It's also critical to be aware that Inuk is singular and Inuit is for plural usage.

The Han Dynasty was the first to produce genuine Chinese porcelain (206 BC– 220 AD). Its production remained an important national art form until the last imperial dynasty, the Qing Dynasty (1644–1912).
