The Mystery of Left-Handedness. AI-Generated.
Evolution has spent nearly 400 million years developing the intricate design of our hands, which are crucial to our daily lives. Yet, despite their remarkable design, about 99% of us end up favoring one hand over the other for everyday tasks like writing, high-fiving, and texting with one hand. It’s even more surprising that life itself seems to have chosen sides: our amino acids are predominantly “left-handed,” while our DNA forms a right-handed helix.

The Vital Need for Sleep: Understanding Its Impact on Our Health. AI-Generated.
In 1965, a 17-year-old high school student named Randy Gardner set out to discover how long he could stay awake. Over 11 days 264 hours he remained awake, pushing the boundaries of his body and mind. By the second day, his vision started to blur. By day three, he lost the ability to identify objects just by touching them. As the days went on, Randy became moody, uncoordinated, and struggled to concentrate. Near the end of the experiment, he experienced short-term memory loss, paranoia, and even hallucinations. Although Randy eventually recovered without lasting psychological or physical damage, the effects of severe sleep deprivation can be much more dangerous, leading to hormonal imbalances, illness, and in extreme cases, even death.

Why We Yawn and Why It’s Contagious
Why Do We Yawn, and Why Is Yawning Contagious? Yawning is one of those seemingly simple actions that carries a surprising amount of complexity. At its core, yawning is the act of inhaling air deeply, stretching your eardrums, and often popping your ears in the process. When this is paired with a full-body stretch, it’s known as pandiculation. But why do we yawn? And why does seeing someone else yawn—or even just thinking about it—make us want to yawn too?
