ONEIROLOGY!! What is it?
Oneirology is a term that was first coined in 1653 by Marquis d’Hervey de Saint Denys. While the Marquis may have gotten the ball rolling, it was subsequent researchers, like Kleitman and William Dement, who made big discoveries in dream research.
Dement and Kleitman discovered the presence of the first stage of sleep. The REM stage of sleep, or rapid eye movement stage, was first discovered thanks to the measurements taken by an electroencephalograph (EEG).
The EEG showed that the activity going on in the brain during this stage of sleep resembled the activity that could be found when a person was awake. Increased brain activity and eye movement gave the impression that the sleeper was dreaming, or at least that they were in a position to be able to dream. In fact, further experiments by the two men showed that the correlation between dreams and REM sleep was approximately 80%.
The ghost towns of China: Amazing satellite images show cities meant to be home to millions lying deserted
These amazing satellite images show sprawling cities built in remote parts of China that have been left completely abandoned, sometimes years after their construction.
Six-Toed Giants and Double Rows Of Teeth
In reported finds of ancient giants, repeatedly we hear of 6-toes and double rows of teeth. What are we to make of this “aberration”? Well, for homo sapiens that is deviated off the normal course and is usually associated with a genetic syndrome or anomaly. But, in the case of this type of man (almost surely not related to Mitochondrial Eve) why did they evolve with such features consistently and repeatedly? I'm going to discuss a potential explanation later in this post. First, let's learn about these interesting features -
