In ancient literature, there is always a mention of the end of human civilization, or as we better define it, the end of the world. The literature defines that the end of the world will be caused by some divine power just because they didn’t think that humanity would reach a point in time where they would harm this world as society does now and has done for decades.
Although other theories do suggest that whatever or whenever this “end of the world” may come, it will be man-made. The same goes for the software from 50 years ago named…

We sometimes talk about war as if it is something that only happened in the past 10,000 years but war was born along with the first ancestors of humanity. Peace is just a social lie, such as perfection, which does not exist. There are always small conflicts around the world that bear violence, but as much as we would compare the hatred of one war be it in modern history, the medieval era, or prehistoric nothing beats the war which most people do not know about.
When we speak about the Stone Age we think of a somewhat peaceful time…

Personal interests in the medical world make me do a lot of research in this field, especially in the history of medicine and how it has evolved over the years. If you would have told me that back in the 19th century, when slavery was still common, society believed that Black people were more resilient to pain than white people I would have understood the origin of this misconception. However, what truly surprised me is to find out that not only is this myth still believed to this day, but also that international medical schools are still teaching this lie!

Lina Marcela Medina is confirmed to be the youngest mother in history, giving birth at the young age of 5 years and 7 months old. Lina was born on September 23, 1933, in Peru. She came from what seemed to be a humble family, her mother by the name of Victoria Losea who was a housemaker and her father by the name of Tiburelo Medina who was a silversmith.
At the age of 5 and 6 months, her parents noticed an abnormal abdominal swelling which at first sight they thought it could have been some sort of tumor but would…

She was born on the 1st of March, 1849 in Poitiers, France in what was thought to be a wonderful family at the time.

Leonardo da Vinci’s famous artwork has always been seen as the pinnacle of art within human history. As a master of arts and science, he was always appreciated for his work such as incredible blueprints of technology, which was clearly ahead of its time, and the famous Mona Lisa portrait. However, you must understand that the Vitruvian Man is truly his most significant work. It is not merely a piece of art but also a mathematical diagram that tries to convey the idea that everything in this world is interconnected.
It is said that this drawing, which was completed in…
What is the cause of physical differences between people and what do these differences reveal about our origin? These questions have troubled the human race since antiquity. The father of medicine, Hippocrates, supported the idea of geographical determinism, arguing that the environment, climate, and other regional factors leave a mark on the physical and behavioral aspects of the entire population. He considered every different race represented by different colors had their own characteristics that made them unique.
The Roman emperor Julian the Apostate, the last pagan emperor (he reigned in 361–363 AD), considered that men and women were created in…
The film “The Great Dictator” was written and directed by Charles Chaplin, who also played the lead role. Released on the big screen on October 15, 1940, the film is a satire on Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. Chaplin’s film is exceptional, especially because, although filming began in 1937, it foreshadowed Hitler’s aggressive policy that led to World War II.
In the context of the year in which it appeared, the film proved an act of special courage not only because the United States, the place where Chaplin produced this film, was not in conflict with Nazi Germany, but…

You would think that this is some sort of confusion as we cannot legally say that an old sea platform can be considered a small country. Well, it seems that if you have the right paperwork anything is possible. Sealand is in fact a microstate that can be located ten kilometers from the coast of England. This sea platform has quite a lot of history behind it, which led to it being a country that requires you to have a passport to enter. …
It is not just in today’s society that someone has to die due to being of a different color or nationality. This was actually a lot more predominant back in the day, but there is just one story that is stuck in my head and which I think everyone, not only all Americans should hear, but the whole world. I don’t say this in the interest of having my work read, but in the interest to educate those who don’t want to learn from history, especially those that do not want to evolve as a human being.
