Teaching by stories, anecdotes and historical facts sept 25 2018Bhaswat Chakraborty
Many difficult principles in science and humanities can be taught best by a story (of its discovery), by an anecdote or some historical facts about them.
The document discusses how exploration during the Age of Exploration was motivated by similar human emotions and ambitions as people today. It notes that while explorers of the past dressed differently and used different technology, their dreams and desires to explore were the same. The document encourages students to think about what motivations they might share with historical explorers as they learn about the Age of Exploration.
This document discusses several topics related to big history including examining the universe using a multi-disciplinary approach, exposing patterns in human experience over large time scales, and providing a framework to understand the past, present and future. It also summarizes sections on how civilizations develop based on existing knowledge and need to innovate, tracing human migration out of Africa, and how environmental disasters like volcanic eruptions can impact societies.
This document discusses several topics related to big history including examining the universe using a multi-disciplinary approach, exposing patterns in human experience over large time scales, and providing a framework to understand the past, present and future. It also summarizes sections on how civilizations develop based on existing knowledge and need to innovate, tracing human migration out of Africa, and how environmental disasters like volcanic eruptions can impact societies.
History is the study of past events and how they influence the present. DNA evidence suggests that all modern humans descend from a group who lived in Africa around 60,000 years ago and began migrating worldwide. Climate changes thousands of years ago, such as one around 535 AD that caused global cooling, can be studied through ice cores, tree rings, and carbon dating. Differences in the environments of continents influenced the development of civilizations through factors like available domesticated plants and animals and rates of cultural diffusion. The Columbian Exchange following Christopher Columbus' voyage in 1492 was a massive biological exchange between the Eastern and Western hemispheres that spread diseases and transformed global populations.
The document summarizes several examples from the Bible that are supported by modern scientific discoveries:
1) Passages from Psalms and Ecclesiastes describing ocean currents and wind patterns were validated by Matthew Maury in the 1800s when he mapped these currents, cutting down shipping times.
2) Acts advises against eating blood, supported by research finding blood is toxic.
3) The story of Jonah being swallowed by a whale is plausible given sperm whales' ability to ingest large objects through their throat and stomach.
The document describes the format and rules of an open general quiz being hosted by two quizmasters, Chazz and Dottoh. It provides details about the preliminary round, which will include 30 questions with some marked as starred. It notes standard quiz rules and formats will apply, and addresses how the quizmasters may discuss potential errors raised after the quiz concludes.
The document discusses how various inventions and discoveries throughout history have led to changes in human civilization and culture. It notes that in the 11th century, the Crusades led to the modern university system, and discoveries in art and recording technologies followed. It argues that humans are inherently driven to discover and invent due to their desire for change and variety, and that while new inventions often look to the past, they make improvements. The document also discusses how genetic studies have traced human migration patterns and relationships between different populations.
1. The document discusses how historical events are interconnected and can have unintended consequences. For example, Columbus' voyage hoping to establish trade routes led to large migrations from Europe to the Americas.
2. Environmental factors like climate changes and diseases spreading from introduced livestock had devastating impacts on civilizations, with some evidence suggesting a volcanic eruption in the 6th century contributed to the fall of Rome and disease wiping out large native populations in the Americas.
3. The potato became a staple crop in Europe, especially Ireland, helping populations survive famine after being introduced from the Americas.
1. The document discusses how historical events are interconnected and can have unintended consequences. For example, Columbus' voyage that established trade routes between Europe and the Americas unexpectedly led to large migrations that introduced diseases devastating native populations.
2. Volcanic eruptions in the 6th century disrupted climate patterns in Europe, which may have contributed to the fall of the Roman Empire.
3. When European settlers arrived in the Americas, they found many abandoned villages that had likely been depopulated by disease epidemics that killed large numbers of native peoples who lacked immunity. This dramatically altered the settlement of the Americas.
Big History examines history on a large scale across long time periods and focuses on major themes and adaptations in human experience rather than isolated events. The documentary series "The Day the Universe Changed" used this approach of studying big picture themes and ideas to understand how human views have developed over time. Geneticist Spencer Wells' book and documentary "The Journey of Man" traced early human migrations out of Africa using genetic data and concluded that all modern humans evolved from a common ancestor in Africa. A major volcanic eruption in 535 AD caused global climate change, famine, and plague in a catastrophe that was only later understood through scientific evidence like tree rings.
The document provides background information on the key individuals and ideas that influenced Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. It describes the contributions of thinkers like Lamarck, Malthus, Lyell, and others to early concepts of evolution and population growth. It then summarizes Darwin's voyage on the HMS Beagle where he made observations of species variation that helped form his ideas, and outlines his subsequent development of the theory of evolution by means of natural selection, which he published in On the Origin of Species in 1859.

The document discusses how The Treasure of the Sierra Madre substitutes gold for women as the object of male desire, in contrast to traditional Hollywood films which use female characters to provide a pleasurable visual experience for male audiences. It references Laura Mulvey's theory that mainstream cinema structures the gaze as masculine and positions women as objects to be looked at. The film challenges this by having gold, rather than women, symbolize what the male characters desire.
The document provides an overview of world history and trade prior to and following 1492 when Columbus arrived in the Americas. It describes the societies, religions, and economies that existed in different regions of the world at that time, including Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. It then discusses how global trade and cultural exchanges expanded dramatically after 1492 as European powers colonized the Americas and gained control of trade routes, introducing crops, commodities, and slavery on a global scale and forever changing patterns of trade and development worldwide.

2. Cooking Alcohol Removes the Alcohol
• Some people believe that food items cooked with
wine or liquor will be totally non-alcoholic,
because alcohol's low boiling point causes it to
evaporate quickly when heated. However, a study
found that some of the alcohol remains: 25
percent after one hour of baking or simmering,
and 10 percent after two hours; in either case,
however, the amount consumed while eating a
dish prepared with alcohol will rarely if ever
contain sufficient alcohol to cause even low levels
of intoxication.
3. MSG Causes Headaches
• Monosodium glutamate (MSG) has a
widespread reputation for triggering migraine
headache exacerbations and other symptoms
of so-called Chinese restaurant syndrome, but
there are no consistent data to support this
relationship. Although there have been
reports of an MSG-sensitive subset of the
population, this has not been demonstrated in
placebo-controlled trials.
4. Microwaves Cook from the Inside Out
• Microwave ovens do not cook food from the
inside out. Upon penetrating food, microwave
radiation decreases exponentially due to the
skin effect and does not directly heat food
significantly beyond the skin depth. As an
example, lean meat has a skin depth of only
about 1 centimeter (0.4 in) at microwave oven
frequencies.
5. Fortune Cookies Are Chinese
• Fortune cookies, despite being associated with
Chinese cuisine in the United States, were in
fact invented and brought to the U.S. by the
Japanese. The cookies are extremely rare in
China, where they are seen as symbols of
American cuisine.
6. 1 Shot of Espresso Has More Caffeine
than 1 Cup of Coffee
• A standard cup of brewed coffee has more
caffeine than a single shot of espresso. The
belief that the reverse is true results from
espresso having a higher unit volume of
caffeine, which is offset by the much larger
volume overall of a regular cup of coffee.
7. You Have to Wait 24 Hours Before
Filing a Missing Person Report
• It is rarely necessary to wait 24 hours before
filing a missing person report; in instances
where there is evidence of violence or of an
unusual absence, law enforcement agencies in
the United States often stress the importance
of beginning an investigation promptly.[18]
The UK government website says explicitly in
large type "You don't have to wait 24 hours
before contacting the police”.
8. Different Parts of your Tongue Detect
Different Tastes
The notion that the tongue is mapped into four areas—sweet,
sour, salty and bitter—is wrong. There are five basic tastes
identified so far, and the entire tongue can sense all of these
tastes more or less equally.
The tongue map dates back to research by a German scientist
named D.P. Hanig, published in 1901. Not familiar with
Japanese cuisine, Hanig set out to measure the relative
sensitivity on the tongue for the four known basic tastes.
Based on the subjective whims of his volunteers, he
concluded that sensitivity to the four tastes varied around the
tongue, with sweet sensations peaking in the tip, etc. That's
all.
9. The Black Belt in Martial Arts
• The black belt in martial arts does not
necessarily indicate expert level or mastery. It
was introduced for judo in the 1880s to
indicate competency of all of the basic
techniques of the sport. Promotion beyond
black belt varies among different martial arts.
In judo and some other Asian martial arts,
holders of higher ranks are awarded belts with
alternating red and white panels, and the
highest ranks with solid red belts.
10. The Chevy Nova
• The Chevrolet Nova sold very well in Latin
American markets; General Motors did not
need to rename the car. While "no va" does
mean "it doesn't go" in Spanish, "nova" is
understood as "new" and drivers in Mexico
and Venezuela where it was first sold bought it
eagerly. There was no need to change the
model name, as is still claimed there was.
11. Life Expectancy Back in the Day
• It is true that life expectancy in the Middle
Ages and earlier was low; however, one
should not infer that people usually died
around the age of 30. In fact, earlier low life
expectancies were very strongly influenced by
high infant mortality, and the life expectancy
of people who lived to adulthood was much
higher. A 21-year-old man in medieval
England, for example, could by one estimate
expect to live to the age of 64.
12. Columbus Discovered the Earth Was
Round?
• Medieval Europeans did not believe Earth was
flat; in fact, from the time of the ancient Greek
philosophers Plato and Aristotle, belief in a
spherical Earth remained almost universal among
European intellectuals. As a result, Christopher
Columbus's efforts to obtain support for his
voyages were hampered not by belief in a flat
Earth but by valid worries that the East Indies
were farther than he realized. If the Americas had
not existed, he would surely have run out of
supplies before reaching Asia.
13. Columbus Discovered America?
• Columbus never reached any land that now forms part
of the mainland United States of America; most of the
landings Columbus made on his four voyages, including
the initial October 12, 1492 landing (the anniversary of
which forms the basis of Columbus Day), were on
Caribbean islands which today are independent
countries. Columbus was also not the first European to
visit the Americas: at least one explorer, Leif Ericson,
preceded him by reaching what is believed to be the
island now known as Newfoundland, part of modern
Canada, though he never made it to the mainland.
14. Can you refreeze thawed meat?
• Yes, so long as it was thawed in the
refrigerator.
15. Was Napoleon Short?
• Napoleon Bonaparte was not short. He was
actually slightly taller than the average
Frenchman of his time. After his death in 1821,
the French emperor's height was recorded as 5
feet 2 inches in French feet, which in English
measurements is 5 feet 7 inches (1.69 m). Some
believe that he was nicknamed le Petit Caporal
(The Little Corporal) as a term of
affection.Napoleon was often accompanied by his
imperial guard, who were selected for their
height—this could have contributed to a
perception that he was relatively short.
16. Was Einstein Bad at Math in School?
• Albert Einstein did not fail mathematics classes
(never "flunked a math exam") in school. Upon
seeing a column making this claim, Einstein said
"I never failed in mathematics... Before I was
fifteen I had mastered differential and integral
calculus.” Einstein did however fail his first
entrance exam into the Swiss Federal Polytechnic
School (ETH) in 1895, when he was two years
younger than his fellow students but scored
exceedingly well in the mathematics and science
sections, then passed on his second attempt
17. Can You See the Great Wall of China
from Space?
• The Great Wall of China is not, as is claimed, the only
human-made object visible from the Moon or from
space. None of the Apollo astronauts reported seeing
any specific human-made object from the Moon, and
even Earth-orbiting astronauts can barely see it. City
lights, however, are easily visible on the night side of
Earth from orbit. Shuttle astronaut Jay Apt has been
quoted as saying that "the Great Wall is almost
invisible from only 180 miles (290 km) up.” (See Man-
made structures visible from space.) ISS commander
Chris Hadfield attempted to find it from space, but said
that it was "hard as it's narrow and dun-colored.”
18. Are Bulls Enraged by the Color Red?
• Bulls are not enraged by the color red, used in
capes by professional matadors. Cattle are
dichromats, so red does not stand out as a
bright color. It is not the color of the cape, but
the perceived threat by the matador that
incites it to charge.
19. How Long is a Goldfish’s Memory?
• The notion that goldfish have a memory span
of just a few seconds is false. It is much
longer, counted in months.
20. Does the Average Person Swallow 8
Spiders a Year in Their Sleep?
• The widespread urban legend that one
swallows a high number of spiders during
sleep in one's life has no basis in reality. A
sleeping person causes all kinds of noise and
vibrations by breathing, the beating heart,
snoring etc. all of which warn spiders of
danger.
21. Did Humans Evolve from
Chimpanzees?
• Humans did not evolve from either of the living
species of chimpanzees. Humans and
chimpanzees did, however, evolve from a
common ancestor. The two modern species
(common chimpanzees and bonobos) are
humans' closest living relatives. Some
anthropologists and primatologists describe
humans as a species of chimpanzee. The most
recent common ancestor of humans and the
other living chimpanzees lived between 5 and 8
million years ago.
22. Do Sharks Get Cancer?
• Sharks can suffer from cancer. The
misconception that sharks do not get cancer
was spread by the 1992 Avery Publishing book
Sharks Don't Get Cancer by I. William Lane
and used to sell extracts of shark cartilage as
cancer prevention treatments. Reports of
carcinomas in sharks exist, and current data
do not allow any speculation about the
incidence of tumors in sharks.
23. Do Microwaves Have Radiation/Cause
Cancer?
• For some people, the term radiation carries with it a bad reputation when all it
means is energy that is emitted by a source. Radiation comes from our bodies in
the form of heat. The sunlight that keeps us warm and allows us to navigate the
outdoors during the daytime is also radiation.
• The forms of radiation that are typically linked to cancer are those with high
enough energies or frequencies to ionize—or remove electrons from—atoms or
molecules, and thus are able to cause damage in our cells. High energy forms of
radiation include X-rays, gamma rays, and some ultraviolet radiation.
• Microwaves, by contrast, are a much lower energy form of radiation. So while they
can cause molecules to vibrate, like the water molecules in our leftovers, they do
not change the chemical structure of the food by ionizing it or through any other
means. Our bodies are full of water and so just as with food, prolonged, intense
exposure to microwave radiation will cause those water molecules in our bodies to
vibrate and heat up their surroundings. Thus, it is definitely not a great idea to, say,
warm yourself up in the microwave if you could fit inside of one.

24. Do Sharks Ever Stop Moving?
• Sharks Must Swim Constantly or They Die!
Some sharks must swim constantly in order to
keep oxygen-rich water flowing over their gills,
but others are able to pass water through
their respiratory system by a pumping motion
of their pharynx. This allows them to rest on
the sea floor and still breathe.
25. South Korea Fan Death
• In South Korea, it is commonly and incorrectly believed that sleeping in a
closed room with an electric fan running can cause what is called fan
death. According to the Korean government, "In some cases, a fan turned
on too long can cause death from suffocation, hypothermia, or fire from
overheating.” The Korea Consumer Protection Board issued a consumer
safety alert recommending that electric fans be set on timers, direction
changed and doors left open. Belief in fan death is common even among
knowledgeable medical professionals in Korea. According to Yeon Dong-su,
dean of Kwandong University's medical school, "If it is completely sealed,
then in the current of an electric fan, the temperature can drop low
enough to cause a person to die of hypothermia.” Actually, a fan just
moves air without significantly changing its temperature, to increase the
evaporation of sweat. Leaving a fan running in an unoccupied room will
not cool it; in fact, due to energy losses from the motor and viscous
dissipation, a fan will slightly heat a room.
26. Don’t Swim Immediately After Eating?
• Eating less than an hour before swimming
does not increase the risk of experiencing
muscle cramps or drowning. One study shows
a correlation between alcohol consumption
and drowning, but there is no evidence cited
regarding stomach cramps or the
consumption of food.
27. What Color is Your Blood When It’s In
Your Body?
• Human blood in veins is not actually blue. In fact, blood
is always red due to hemoglobin. Deoxygenated blood
has a deep red color, and oxygenated blood has a light
cherry-red color. The misconception probably arises for
two reasons: 1) Veins below the skin appear blue. This
is due to a variety of reasons only weakly dependent
on the color of the blood, including subsurface
scattering of light through the skin, and human color
perception. 2) Many diagrams use colors to show the
difference between veins (usually shown in blue) and
arteries (usually shown in red).
28. How Many Senses do We Have?
• Humans have more than the commonly cited five
senses. The number of senses in various
categorizations ranges from 5 to more than 20. In
addition to sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing,
which were the senses identified by Aristotle, humans
can sense balance and acceleration (equilibrioception),
pain (nociception), body and limb position
(proprioception or kinesthetic sense), and relative
temperature (thermoception). Other senses
sometimes identified are the sense of time, itching,
pressure, hunger, thirst, fullness of the stomach, need
to urinate, need to defecate, and blood carbon dioxide
levels.
29. Why Do Fingertips Wrinkle in Water?
• Water-induced wrinkles are not caused by the
skin absorbing water and swelling. They are
caused by the autonomic nervous system,
which triggers localized vasoconstriction in
response to wet skin, yielding a wrinkled
appearance. This was theorized to have
evolved to give ancestral primates a better
grip in slippery, wet environments, but a 2014
study showed no improvement in handling
wet objects with wrinkled fingertips.
30. Does Sugar Make Kids Hyperactive?
• Sugar does not cause hyperactivity in children.
Double-blind trials have shown no difference
in behavior between children given sugar-full
or sugar-free diets, even in studies specifically
looking at children with attention-
deficit/hyperactivity disorder or those
considered sensitive to sugar.
31. Don’t Swallow Chewing Gum?
• Swallowed chewing gum does not take seven
years to digest. In fact, chewing gum is mostly
indigestible, and passes through the digestive
system at the same rate as other matter.
32. Frogs in Hot Water
• “Put a frog in hot water and they’ll jump right
out. Put a frog in cold water and slowly heat it
and they’ll boil to death”.
– This is not true. The frog will jump out once it
reaches an unpleasant temperature.
33. Lightning Never Strikes the Same Place
Twice
• Wrong. The empire state building gets struck
by lightning hundreds of times a year.
34. Does Eating Carrots Help You See in
the Dark?
• While the beta carotene in carrots can help
improve night vision in those suffering from a
deficiency of vitamin A, it does not enhance it
beyond normal levels in those receiving an
adequate amount. The belief that it does
originated from World War II British
disinformation meant to explain the Royal Air
Force's improved success in night battles,
which was actually due to radar and the use of
red lights on instrument panels.
35. What Percentage of our Brains do We
Use?
• People do not use only ten percent of their
brains. While it is true that a small minority of
neurons in the brain are actively firing at any
one time, the inactive neurons are important
too. This misconception has been
commonplace in American culture at least as
far back as the start of the 20th century, and
was attributed to William James, who
apparently used the expression
metaphorically.
36. Is Glass a Slow-Moving Liquid?
• Glass does not flow at room temperature as a high-viscosity liquid.[400]
Although glass shares some molecular properties found in liquids, glass at
room temperature is an "amorphous solid" that only begins to flow above
the glass transition temperature, though the exact nature of the glass
transition is not considered settled among scientists. Panes of stained
glass windows are often thicker at the bottom than at the top, and this has
been cited as an example of the slow flow of glass over centuries.
However, this unevenness is due to the window manufacturing processes
used at the time. Normally the thick end of glass would be installed at the
bottom of the frame, but it is also common to find old windows where the
thicker end has been installed to the sides or the top. No such distortion
is observed in other glass objects, such as sculptures or optical
instruments, that are of similar or even greater age. One researcher
estimated in 1998 that for glass to actually flow at room temperatures
would require a length of time many times the age of the Earth.
37. What is Celery’s Nutritional Value?
• You may have heard people say that celery has
negative calories, which means eating celery
burns off more calories than your body
absorbs after eating it. While celery is a very
low-calorie food and an excellent choice when
you're trying to achieve or maintain a healthy
weight, it isn't necessarily a "negative calorie"
food.
38. Will Going Out in the Cold with Wet
Hair Make You Sick?
• No.
