CONNECT YOUR THUMB with the little finger: If you can see this tendon, it means something very special!
People in its present form (Homo sapiens) have existed for 200,000 years. Before that, it took a lot of time and a lot of evolutionary steps to get where we are today.
Evidence of this continuous development can still be seen in some people today because they left some marks on us, which are much more than body hair. Even today, you can still find rudiments of the so-called humans.
Here are the most interesting examples:
- The tendon in your wrist
Place your hand on the table with palms upwards. Connect the little finger and thumb together and raise a little the fist. For some people, the tendons will be very visible, while others will not.
Interestingly, if you do not have this muscle it does not affect the strength and has no adverse effects, except visually.
The reason for this is the palmaris longus tendon muscle. This muscle is located between the upper arm and wrist. Although the muscle movements of the wrist, in the modern age are no longer needed that is why it is not visible more and in 13 percent of today’s society.
Interestingly, if you do not have this muscle it does not affect the strength and has no adverse effects, except visually.
- The pink point in the corner of your eye
Have you ever wondered why in the corner of the eye there is a pink point? Although almost all have this point, it nowadays has no function, but it is characteristic of the so-called third eyelid. Usually seen in reptiles when their eyes are closed and you can see it as a protective layer for the eye. Although no longer depend on the protection of the third eyelid when we emerged lashes, however we have left this memorial evolution.
- Wiggling ears
Nowadays ears wiggle is just a trick and making jokes, but sometimes it had a very important function. When you do that, you could improve your hearing and people are able to locate sounds in their environment and recognize danger better. It is characteristic for cats.
- Wisdom tooth
Whether you are one of those who had to remove a wisdom tooth? Then you are probably cursed and wonder what their purpose when they only appear to bother. The answer lies in the past. Long ago people ate more grass roots and have more to chew on. As our food became softer and lighter, our jaw became smaller because it was not needed. Most monkeys and primates have no longer wisdom teeth, but gorillas (which are vegetarians) still have them.
- Getting goose
If we have a cold or simply from something make us goose bumps on the skin appear dots and our hair literally standing upright. But, why? When people have had their fur goosing had its real function. When the hair is up it is stored more heat, and if we are in danger and scare, so we looked bigger and more dangerous for potential attackers. This can be noticed in domestic cats and many other animals.
