  24-02-2023 21:00 via discovermagazine.com
  
  Snakes are cold-blooded animals, or ectothermic, because they get their temperature from their surroundings and cannot generate their own body heat. While this can come in handy, the downside of being a cold-blooded animal is the struggle to survive in cold environments.

Species that live in habitats where winter months are inhospitable stay safe in the form

• Why Do We Have Eyebrows and Other Types of Facial Hair?

  24-02-2023 17:00 via discovermagazine.com

And, if so, what evolutionary advantage might we be throwing away for the sake of staying on trend?

Humans and monkeys are so much alike that documenting our similarities is much easier than listing our few differences.   Shared Use of Tools  According to Stephanie P
