📶The development of the silk industry
When silk was first discovered in China over 4,500 years ago, it was reserved exclusively for the use
of the emperor, his close relations and the very highest of his dignitaries. Within the palace, the
emperor is believed to have worn a robe of white silk; outside, he, his principal wife, and the heir to
the throne wore yellow, the colour of the earth.

🪩The Discovery of Uranus
Someone once put forward an attractive though unlikely theory. Throughout the Earth’s annual
revolution around the sun, there is one point of space always hidden from our eyes. This point is the
opposite part of the Earth’s orbit, which is always hidden by the sun. Could there be another planet
there, essentially similar to our own, but always invisible?

🎻🎺Classical music over the centuries
Indian classical music is monophonic in nature and based around a single melody line which is played over a fixed drone. The performance is based melodically on particular rages and
rhythmically on talas.

🐝The Ecological Importance of Bees
Bees, then, are vital to our survival. Furthermore, much of the visual impact of human
environments derives from vegetation, and most vegetation is dependent on bees for pollination.
Thus, as pollinators of crops and natural vegetation, bees occupy key positions in the web of
relationships which sustain the living architecture of our planet.

🥱💤🥱Yawning
How and why we yarn still presents problems for researchers in an area which has only recently
been opened up to study.
Yawning is a powerful💪, generalized movement that involves much more than airway maneuvres
and jaw-gaping. When yawning you also stretch your facial muscles, tilt your head back, narrow or
close your eyes, produce tears, salivate, open the Eustachian tubes of your middle ear and perform
many other, yet unspecified, cardiovascular and respiratory acts.

👨🏫👩🏫A new stage in the study and teaching of history
For hundreds of years, historians have relied on written or printed documents to provide the bulk of
their source materials, and they have largely communicated with students and the wider public by
writing books and journal articles. Today, however, the printed word is being superseded by a
diversity of forms of communication, above all moving images on video or film.

🗣👅An important language development
Cuneiform, the world’s first known system of handwriting, originated some 6.000 years ago in
Summer in what is now southern Iraq. It was most often inscribed on palm-sized, rectangular clay
tablets measuring several centimetres across, although occasionally, larger tablets or cylinders were
used. Clay was an excellent medium for writing.

🐳Whale culture
Most social scientists stubbornly resist the idea that animals have culture. Even such advanced
cetacean mammals as whales and dolphins clearly don’t have art. literature, or architecture. But
patient observation over many years has begun to reveal behaviors that can only have been learnt
from other whales. And that, say whale biologists, constitutes culture.

🌏🌐 Global warming
There is, of course, no denying that we are still at a very early stage in understanding weather. The
effects of such variables as rainfall, cloud formation, the seas and oceans, gases such as methane
and ozone, or even solar energy are still not really understood, and therefore the predictions that we
make using them cannot always be relied on. Dr. James Hansen, in 19BH, was predicting that the
likely effects of global warming would be a raising of world temperature which would have disastrous
consequences for mankind: “a strong cause arid effect relationship between the current climate and
human alteration of the atmosphere”.

🌍🫣IS AID HURTING AFRICA?
It is difficult to speak of Africa as a unit as its states differ from each other in culture, climate, size,
and political system. Since mid-20th-century independence, many African states have pursued
different economic policies. Yet, none of them has overcome poverty. Why might this be?

🛳🧭Pacific navigation and voyaging
The many tiny islands of the Pacific Ocean had no human population until ancestors of
today’s islanders sailed from Southeast Asia in ocean-going canoes approximately 2,000
years ago. At the present time, the debate continues about exactly how they migrated such
vast distances across the ocean, without any of the modern technologies we take for granted.

🐅🐯The dingo debate
Graziers see them as pests and poisoning is common, but some biologists think Australia’s dingoes
are the best weapon in a war against imported cats and foxes?
— A plane flies a slow pattern over Carlton Hill station, a 3,600 square kilometre ranch in the
Kimberley region in northwest Australia. As the plane circles, those aboard drop 1,000 small pieces
of meat, one by one, onto the scrubland below, each piece laced with poison; this practice is known
as baiting.

🇳🇿Growing up in New Zealand
It has long been known that the first one thousand days of life are the most critical in ensuring a
person’s healthy future; precisely what happens during this period to any individual has been less
well documented. To allocate resources appropriately, public health and education policies need to
be based upon quantifiable data, so the NZMSD began a
longitudinal study of these early days, with the view to extending it for two decades. Born between
March 2009 and May 20I0, the 6,846 babies recruited came from a densely populated area of New
Zealand, and it is hoped they will be followed until they reach the age of 21.

😋The Flavour Industry
During the 1980s, health watchdogs and nutritionists began turning their attention to cholesterol,
a waxy steroid metabolite that we mainly consume from animal-sourced products such as cheese,
egg yolks, beef, poultry, shrimp, and pork. Nutritionists blamed cholesterol for contributing to the
growing rates of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and several cancers in Western societies. As
extensive recognition of the matter grew amongst the common people, McDonald’s stopped cooking
their French fries in a mixture of cottonseed oil and beef tallow, and in 1990, the restaurant chain
began using 100% vegetable oil instead.
