Human Biology

A fun way to expand your knowledge with facts about the human body.

This is a short section from the book Fascinating Facts You'll Love to Share, focusing just on human body facts. We are often more interested in what we see, and there is no doubt that the world is filled with wonders! There's a lot to amaze at, from the atomic building blocks of life to the farthest reaches of space. The human body is another wonder that should be added to the list!

Do your eyes send out light like headlights? Does your liver create blood? Do bumps on your head tell what's inside your brain? At one time science supported wild notions like these! But later studies proved these ideas were nonsense. Discover science's biggest mistakes and oddest assumptions about the human body, and see how scientific thought changed over time.
