Have you ever wondered why we have 7 days in a week, or weeks in general? Or, why is gold the “gold standard?” What about mental illness, are humans the only animals who have it? Why is poisoning ourselves with alcohol sooo much fun? Why do we have nightmares? And, if astrology is pseudoscience, how come I pick a fight with my boyfriend every time Mercury is in retrograde?! Each week on “Weird Humanity” we’re going to answer those questions and more. We’ll explore the human condition, our psyches and bodies, and the absurd practices our ancestors started that we just continue today without a second thought, until now!
