and Mild.

Our world is full of the unexplainable.

And if history is an open book, all of these amazing tales are right there on display,

Our brains have 16 billion neurons that enable us to perform quick calculations, invent

new ideas, create tools, relate to others, and create strategies among so much else.

Our brains also regulate our bodies, controlling our muscles, regulating our temperatures and

emotions, and processing the information we take in.

Our brains and some argue are opposable thumbs have allowed us to create inventions that

extend or significantly augment what our bodies and brains were designed to do.

Cars, bicycles, and other modes of transportation allow us to travel greater distances and faster

than we can on foot.

Computers often solve problems more quickly than our brains.

They're pretty impressive as a species, or at least we'd like to think so, yet other

species have inspired us to achieve even more.

Since humankind's earliest years, we've longed to fly like birds.

Early versions of aircraft tried to mimic the way birds flew.
