A few hundred years ago, people didn’t know about the importance of brushing. So they developed black rotten teeth as a result of having too much sugar. This is what happened with Queen Elizabeth 1.

People with red hair are likely more sensitive to pain. This is because the gene mutation (MC1R) that causes red hair is on the same gene linked to pain receptors.

Structurally, for houses, the basement walls typically form the foundation. In warmer climates, some houses do not have basements because they are not necessary (although many still prefer them). In colder climates, the foundation must be below the frost line.

Older homes built with crawl spaces or rooms without basements supported slightly above the ground often have very cold floors.
