Why do men have " Adam's Apple ' ??

 When we look at the front of a man's neck, we spot a hard ridge jutting out just above the collarbone.


But in women and other primates, we don't find this.  !!!


The lump itself is not a seperate organ. It's the front edge of thyroid cartilage. It protects the voice box.


In children of both the sexes, this cartilage sits at shallow angle and barely shows.


During male puberty,  rising testosterone drives the cartilage to grow forward.


This is male specific.


The visible " Apple " is just the seam of sharper angle pressing against the skin. !!!


Why testosterone remodels the throat ??


Boy's voice drops roughly over adolescence, as longer and thicker vocal chords vibrate more slowly.


While girl's vocal chords drops only slightly   !!!!

Rainbow snake

Which country was the first to officially use a national anthem ??

In earlier times,  countries did not have national anthem as we have today.


There was no single song officially chosen to represent the nation as a whole.


With the raise of  nationalism in 18th century, countries started using songs that reflects the feeling, hope and struggles of ordinary people.




FRANCE   is the first country to officially adopt a national anthem.



The anthem was written during French revolution when French people were fighting against monarchy and foreign threats.



In 1795, France officially recognized this song as national anthem.
