A proposed connection between the Brahmi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahmi_script) and Indus scripts, made in the 19th century by Alexander Cunningham.

Evidence for a continuity between Indus and #Brahmi has also been seen in graphic similarities between Brahmi and the late Indus script, where the ten most common ligatures correspond with the form of one of the ten most common glyphs in Brahmi.[81] There is also corresponding evidence of continuity in the use of numerals.[82]

Fire 🔥 and the Brain 🧠 : How Cooking Shaped Humans | AMNH
https://www.amnh.org/explore/science-topics/microbiome-health/fire-cooking-human-evolution
Compared to chimps, humans have shorter digestive tracts, weaker jaws, and smaller teeth. So how do we get enough calories to run our bigger bodies and energy-greedy brains?
The answer, says Harvard human evolutionary biologist Rachel Carmody, lies in those big brains. In the course of our #evolution, we used ingenuity to outsource digestion, moving part of the process outside our bodies. When you cook a hamburger or a sweet potato, you’re not just making it more delicious—you’re actually kickstarting #digestion, breaking down the muscle or plant cells so that your body has easier access to the #nutrients.

Do house plants purify indoor air? Turns out NASA's famous study from 1989 was flawed. Even at their best, plants deliver less than 1% of toxin removal that an air purifier accomplishes. http://bit.ly/3734UCQ

The sun would no longer be a silent ball of fire hanging in the sky. Instead, it would be a perpetual white-noise machine, blaring with the intensity of a rock concert at all hours of the day.
