While certain foods may promote stone formation in people who are susceptible, scientists do not believe that eating any specific food causes stones to form in people who are not susceptible.

When analyzing the differences between the song “You are my Best Friend” by Queen and the cover performed by The Once, it may feel almost incomparable. Although the formal structure of the cover follows the same form of the original, the tempo varies.

Based on Otzi’s belongings I think he was a hunter. IF he was a farmer I believe he would have brought some of his own food with him. Even though he had arthritis he seems to be too skilled with a bow and arrow to just be a farmer since 1 arrow had 2 different people’s blood on it. I also think he lives with a group of people since he was whipworm. Whipworm is spread by human poop which makes me think he can’t get sick of his own poop.
