I thought we could all add in cool and interesting science facts... Ill start.

--Body Hair

We have just as much hair all over our bodies as chimpanzees or monkeys or any other furry primate. Most of it is just very short and light. It's called "vellus hair" or "peach fuzz".Research shows that we humans lost all our body hair through evolution about a million years before somebody finally figured out how to purchase clothes at one of the first primitive Walmarts.

One theory says that we lost our all body hair in an attempt to avoid parasites like ticks, fleas, and lice, and that we've only kept the hair on our heads because other people think it's pretty



--Insects

For each person on the Earth, there are two hundred million insects crawling around somewhere. Ants and termites are especially popular. If you could put all of the Earth's animals together in an extremely large blender, a delicious one third of what would come pouring out would be ants and termites.

----Speed of light

Most people usually think of the speed of light as being really fast. It's 671 million miles per hour. That seems tantalizingly zippy if you're caught in traffic.

However, once you think about the speed of light within the context of our solar system, it starts to seem unimpressive.

It takes about 1.3 seconds for light or radio waves to reach us from the Moon, which really isn't all that far away (it's only 20 times farther away than Australia is to the United States). This was an issue during the Apollo space program, because due to the round trip time of the radio signals, NASA had to wait about three seconds to hear the answer to every question they asked the astronauts

Human foetuses grow a coat of fur about five months into gestation and shed it prior to birth.

Humans (according to the most reliable data) lost their protective fur in conjunction with bipedalism and development of the eccrine sweat glands. Humans are built for endurance running and it was those selective pressures which evolved our abundance of eccrine glands because the watery sweat dissipates heat far better than the apocrine glands which are abundant in chimpanzees. The loss of fur accelerates the cooling process. Better body temperature regulation also helped the development of the human brain (the most temperature sensitive organ in the human body).

The aquatic ape and lice theories don't account for all the evidence. Temperature regulation is the most complete theory so far.

On a side note we don't have "as much hair", we have "as many hair follicles".

There is no sky, the government built a dome above our heads... When you shoot up into the sky, they are shooting back down at you.


Also, there is no death. When you "die" you immediately wake up in a world owned by robots.... or was that when you take the red pill???
