38. Why Do We have an Appendix? Why Can’t Humans Wiggle their Ears? How Do Our Eyes See?
This week’s questions are all about our bodies!
Find out why we have an appendix with Dr. Chiara Hunt, she is a doctor and runs The Bump Class for Mums and Dads who are about to have a baby. She also co-hosts a podcast for parents called The Parent Hood with her sister Marina Fogle, which I went on earlier this year to talk about children and curiosity! So Chiara is the perfect person to answer your question!
Next up we have a question from Otto, he would like to know about ear wiggling! Find out all about why we lost the ability to wiggle ears and how many humans can still do it!
Our third question is from Alice who would love to know how our eyes see? Find out all about eyes, where the word pupil comes from, how your brain flips images coming through your eye upside down. Plus we talk about an experiment a professor in Germany did with goggles with mirrors that flipped images coming into a student’s eyes upside down.
Do subscribe wherever you get your podcasts to be the first to hear Everything Under The Sun each week. We’d also love you to leave a review and rate the podcast if you love it!
A huge thank you to Dr. Chiara Hunt for telling us why we have an appendix and to they can eat and to Lara, Otto and Alice for this week’s lovely questions!
I’ll be back next week answering more questions from children around the world in another episode of EUTS. Do send in your questions, there’s info about how to do that on the show’s website, everythingunderthesun.co.uk.
Remember, the questions will now also be in the Everything Under The Sun BOOK.
If you have any questions about art, music or writing do send them in for the book!
If you like the show people do rate, review and subscribe and tell all your friends to do the same, it really does help! The first person to leave a review and let me know by email will get some EUTS bookmarks in the post! They’re really lovely so do get posting if you like the show!
Thank you so much. Have a lovely week and GOODBYE! X
