For example, I like the taste of broccoli but my wife can't even swallow it. How we taste things depends largely on the number and type of taste receptors we are born with, says flavour scientist and chef, Associate Professor Russell Keast from the Area School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences at Deakin University. These taste receptors are clustered within the taste buds on the tongue and in the upper part of the mouth, and they react specifically to salty, sweet, sour or bitter foods.
"Somebody who's got a lot more receptors for specific chemicals in food will perceive them as being more intense", Keast says. "The bitterness that some people experience when they eat broccoli is related back to one particular receptor and is linked with another chemical that we often use in taste research called N-6-tropyluracil.

The Internal Clitoris | Sexology 101 | Museum of Sex. Consider this: In over five million years of human evolution, only one organ has come to exist for the sole purpose of providing pleasure—the clitoris. It is not required for reproduction.
It doesn’t have a urethra running through it like the penis, and thus, does not urinate. Its sole function—its singular, wonderful purpose—is to make a woman feel good! Sadly, it is precisely because the clitoris has no function apart from female pleasure that science has neglected to study it as intricately as the penis. Try asking the next person you encounter to tell you where the clitoris is located. The scientific name for the external “little button” or “bulb” is glans. The glans is connected to the body or shaft of the internal clitoris, which is made up of two corpora cavernosa.

Near each of the crura on either side of the vaginal opening are the clitoral vestibules.

Image from Wikipedia.com Anaximander (c. 610–546 BC) taught that humans evolved from fish. Such evolutionary ideas were common in ancient pagan societies such as in Greece and Rome. by Paul James-Griffiths While studying ancient history at University, I came across the pagan beliefs about origins.
It was this study that caused me first to question evolution and the vast ages given for the Universe. The Greeks As I read the works of the Greek philosophers, who lived between about 600–100BC, I was amazed to discover primitive evolutionary theory and vast ages long before Darwin and modern assumptions. After them, the Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder (AD23–79) said, ‘ … we are so subject to chance that Chance herself takes the place of God; she proves that God is uncertain.4 Concerning the great ages of the Universe, Plato and many Greek philosophers held to the view that this present Universe came about millions of years ago.
