- Are maternity wards quiet because, in a genetic hangover from our past, the babies instinctively know that to call out when not under the protection of their mothers could attract predators?

- Were the antelope horns and leg bones found in archaeological digs the early weapons of our hominid ancestors, or merely the parts of the meal that the big cats left?
