Prehistoric peoples' diets consisted of raw meats, roots, leaves, and other foraged foods. To cut up these tough foods, as well as catch, dismember, and consume them, strong teeth were required. Having extra teeth was a huge benefit, especially when there was no dentist nearby to keep teeth healthy. People have evolved since then, and we now have a more refined menu. This means that we don't require these extra teeth to eat tough foods and survive.

If you've seen the crowds that gather around Oxford Circus in London when the green man arrives, you might find this hard to believe. Shibuya Crossing, on the other hand, frequently sees up to 2,500 people crossing at the same time. That's a lot of work!

Sleep rejuvenates the body, and dreams revitalise the mind. This is because dreams are similar to creativity, according to the American Psychological Association. The way the brain solves problems in dreams is similar to how it thinks creatively in the waking world. As a result, many artists are more likely to be inspired by their dreams and to think creatively while awake.

Arabic is a right-to-left language, and books and documents are written and read from back to front. Arabic numbers, on the other hand, are read and written from left to right.

A couple of modest clinical investigations indicated ashwagandha to be beneficial in lowering blood glucose and lipid levels (the most common type of fat in the blood). One study compared ashwagandha's blood sugar-lowering effects to those of type 2 diabetic medicines.

Speaking of how varying quantities of vitamin D are needed by different types of women, older women (and males) probably need more vitamin D. The NIH recommends 800 IU per day for both men and women over 70, as was previously noted.

There are basically three types of termites: the king or queen, the soldiers, and the workers, while we're talking about the social lives of termites. Every colony of termites contains these various termites, and no colony could survive without all three. Despite their natural rivalry, they are strikingly similar to ants in this respect.

The orientation leaflets are arranged in one or two pinnae pairs in a bipinnate compound. Each pinna also contains 10 to 26 leaflets. These plants grow on soil with little nutrient concentration and are not shade-tolerant. Similar to other Fabaceae plant species, the orientation of the leaves undergoes nyctinasty motions, sometimes known as "sleep," throughout the night and reopens in the light.

According to a 2011 research, Earth generates up to 40 terawatts of heat, half of which originates from radioactive decay in its core. Scientists studied antineutrinos that flowed up from Earth's core and discovered that radioactive decay of specific elements generates half of Earth's heat.

French (20.4%), German (64%), Italian (6.5%), and Romansh (just over 1%) are their four national languages. As a foreign tourist or resident, you may feel at ease since it's totally normal to not comprehend what someone says to you because the Swiss don't understand the Swiss anyhow.

Yes, the face of the well-known rum brand was a genuine person. In the 1660s and 1670s, he was a Welsh privateer who fought alongside the English against the Spanish in the Caribbean. King Charles II of England knighted him for his first name, Henry. His precise birth year is uncertain, however he was born somewhere around 1635. In 1688, he died in Jamaica, reportedly wealthy.

Charlotte and Emily left the parsonage in 1842 to go to the Pensionnat Héger in Brussels, Belgium. They studied literature, German, and French with the intention of becoming teachers or opening their own schools. While there, Charlotte developed feelings for Constantin Héger, the school's married head of school. She actually developed an unhealthy obsession with him.

Ocimumosides A and B are chemicals found in tulsi. These molecules alleviate stress and help the brain's neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine balance. Tulsi's anti-inflammatory qualities lower inflammation and blood pressure.

In stark contrast to their modern-day high status, lobsters were routinely fed to convicts during colonial times (and slaves). They were filthy, inexpensive, and everywhere. Prisoners were ordered to limit their consumption of lobster to three days a week when they became sick of it.

Spirituality involves connecting with your inner self. It’s essential to take time for yourself and reflect on who you are as a person, what makes up your personality, and how these things impact the way others perceive you! This can be done through meditation or other spiritual practices like yoga or Tai Chi.
 

Even though your body is sleeping, your mind is more active than when you are awake. During dreams, your mind is learning, problem solving, and filing, sorting, and making sense of all the information you absorbed during the day.

Anethole, found in fennel seeds, promotes galactagogues (substances that induce breastfeeding) to secrete more milk. According to several research, anethole mimics the effect of the oestrogen hormone and stimulates breastfeeding.

Beggars' Night was held the night before Halloween in Des Moines for young children. According to a Des Moines Register article, the event began around 1938 as a way to prevent vandalism and provide a safer way for younger children to celebrate Halloween. Beggars' Night is similar to trick-or-treating in that children are required to tell a joke, read a poem, or perform a "trick" in exchange for a treat.

After Perseus returned to Seriphos, his mission was complete. There was no reason for him to carry Medusa’s head any longer. Besides, Athena was now interested in it. The goddess of wisdom took the head of her sworn enemy and placed it either on her Aegis (shield) or armor. This way she appropriated Medusa’s powers and proclaimed her triumph.

Athena, a goddess of civilization and an idealized role model for the virtuous woman within the patriarchal Greek society, had finally exterminated the threat of the dangerous Medusa, a symbol of the power of the natural and the feminine.

Red is used at weddings. This may seem odd to Westerners but I’m not so sure: red is the color of passion and love universally so why shouldn’t it be used at weddings?

Herophilus, an ancient Greek surgeon, was the first to formally refer to the pancreas as a gland in about 300 BCE. The name "pankreas," which means "all flesh," was given to the organ about 400 years later by another Greek anatomist and surgeon by the name of Ruphos. This may have been due to the absence of bone or cartilage in the organ. (Pancreata or pancreases, by the way, are the plural forms of the word pancreas.) Later, in the 16th century, the term "sweetbreads" was used to describe a dish of cooked calf or lamb pancreas. That name may have been derived from the Old English word braed, which means "flesh."

Thyme needs to be kept out of heat, moisture, and sunshine in an airtight container. Make sure the spices stay cool; keep them away from any outside walls to prevent them from being exposed to the daylong, sweltering summer sun (even light can affect dried herbs).

Winter in the north of Sweden can be difficult, with fewer than 5 hours of daylight for months on end. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a kind of depression that occurs as a result of a lack of daylight and affects many people in Europe's far north. To remedy this, one Swedish city erected lightboxes in bus stops to provide passengers waiting for transportation with a little additional lighting during the gloomy winter days.

Even though no one knows when yoghurt was discovered, the name "yoghurt" is unmistakably Turkish. However, we do know that fermented milk has been utilised since prehistoric times.

In 2016, Starbucks announced a plan to donate 100% of its leftover food to feed the hungry. The plan was going to affect all 7,000 US locations. They partnered with Feeding America to donate unsold meals, like sandwiches and salads, and it was all due to their baristas speaking up.
