The puzzling range of human emotions, actions, reactions and abilities lead to only one firm conclusion: We're a strange bunch.
Humans are arguably the most bizarre creatures in the animal kingdom. The proof is in the many gross, unnecessary, contradictory and simply inexplicable things we do. And of course we're different in our capacity to ponder all these oddities and sometimes figure a few out.
This romp through the LiveScience archives reveals why we...
Lie, cheat, fall in love, kiss, blush, have sex, die?
Have fingernails, have an appendix, an Adam's apple, curly pubic hairs?
Part our hair, crack our knuckles, get goose bumps, shiver when cold? Blink without noticing, see spots in our eyes, cry when slicing onions?
***
Burp, fart, itch, stink, struggle to find a mate?
Get freckles, get birthmarks, hear ringing in our ears?
Spread urban legends, enjoy hearing voices, see things that aren't there? Join cults, believe in ghosts, fall for placebos, believe in UFOs?
Don't understand consciousness?
