Green space isn’t just pretty scenery; it cools neighborhoods, soaks up stormwater, gives wildlife a fighting chance, and hands humans somewhere to breathe that isn’t a parking lot.

There’s a human body part that no other animal has—and evolution still can't explain why it even exists.

Humans share a surprising amount of anatomy with the rest of the animal kingdom. We’ve got the same bones, joints, muscles, and basic internal plumbing. But there’s one tiny, everyday feature that no other species has—not even our evolutionary ancestors—and scientists still shrug when asked why it even exists.
