Why Do Humans See Shapes In Things? Posted: 18 Mar 2022 02:08 AM PDT Why do we see human faces in clouds, bark, leaves, buttons, and a cup of coffee? According to an Indian folk tale, Indira was going somewhere disguised as a beggar when night fell on the way. The jungle, the desert, far, far away, neither man nor man. They lit fires to escape the cold. The wild animals recognized the deity. The wolf brought them a gift of mangoes. The monkey offered yogurt. The rabbit was left behind. He did not understand anything else, so he jumped into the burning fire in front of Indira so that it would burn and the gods would eat him. It is said that Indra was so pleased with the rabbit's sacrifice that he engraved his image on the moon. According to Indian tradition, the same rabbit shape can still be seen on the moon. Interestingly, the ancient Aztec civilization of South America also saw a rabbit in the moon, but it was another rabbit. According to the stories we heard in childhood from the elders of the house, there is a carpenter on the moon who keeps spinning. In Europe, a man is said to be carrying a lump on his back, called a man in the moon. According to the Talmudic tradition, the image of Prophet Yaqub (Jacob) PBUH is engraved. Similarly, according to Chinese mythology, the goddess Chang'e accidentally went to the moon and got stuck there and is still visible on the moon. The famous Urdu poet Mir used to see a picture of his girlfriend: A shape appeared in the moon Decreased eating and dreaming (Translated version) On the other hand, it is very common to see religious figures and symbols everywhere. Followers of different religions see the faces of their spiritual figures on cut potatoes, clouds, animal backs, burnt bread, leaves or trees, etc. A few years ago, a man named Gohar Shahi had claimed that besides the moon, there is also a picture of him in the sun. Other claims forced him to leave the country. Those claims cannot be stated here. However, there is a regular term for the process of finding faces in objects, namely Pareidolia, which is defined as finding a specific shape in the natural elements and pasting its meaning on it. What is the reason for this? Is it part of human nature? Now scientists at the University of Sydney have researched the matter and said that it has its roots in the theory of evolution. They say that this ability is hard-wired in the human mind, that is, it exists naturally. This shows that it has to do with human survival. David Ellis, a professor at the University of Sydney's School of Psychology and head of the study, said: "From an evolutionary point of view, ignoring a human face is a bigger mistake than considering inanimate objects as faces." "Face recognition is a very useful process, but the system works in a very relaxed way, which is defined as finding a specific shape in the natural elements and sticking your interpretation on it," he said. It is as if the man is afraid of the rope as a snake because it is in his nature. This is a mistake because in it the process of identifying things becomes more active than necessary and the man jumps in fear of a harmless thing, his face turns yellow, his heart starts beating loudly, and so on and so forth. But the cost of this mistake is less, at most, it may be that someone is watching you and they will laugh at your confusion. But compared to this slight embarrassment, if you consider a snake to be a rope, you will have to pay a heavy price for this mistake because it may prove to be your last mistake. Therefore, evolution proved to be more helpful in advancing those who were frightened at the sight of trivial things and did not advance the generation of those who did not realize the danger and thus lost their lives. Professor David Ellis told the media, "Facial recognition is a very useful process, but the system works very loosely and sticks a facial label on where two eyes and a nose see. There are so many types it's hard to say. Under this process, the mind not only sees the faces but also tries to examine the expressions of those faces, that is, which face is angry, which is happy. According to scientists, the reason for this is that human beings are largely social creatures, and to lead a normal life, it is necessary to study the faces of other human beings closely to assess their reactions. In ancient times, when man lived in small tribes, his social treatment of those close to him was of utmost importance. Because life was so difficult, and we had to struggle to survive every day, life and death depended on trusting our friends and being aware of our enemies' intentions. That is why, during the millions of years of the evolutionary process, the innate ability to read human faces and observe their impressions was created within people. In the days of the cave, it was difficult for a person who could not recognize the faces of others properly or could not judge their emotions by their faces, to survive and to move on. That is why the number of people recognizing faces has been increasing and gradually their genes have spread to the whole human race. Researchers at the University of Sydney asked participants to examine the impressions of "artificial" faces in various objects, in addition to the real faces. These artificial faces included faces hidden in TV remotes, coffee cups, handbags, bread crumbs, and more. Participants knew that these were not real faces, yet they checked the expressions on those faces to see how they were feeling. Interestingly, most of the participants had common answers, meaning that if one button seemed annoying to others, others would get the same impression. This shows that the human mind examines real and fake faces in the same way. Dr. Ellis says, "Pareidolia faces are not rejected as wrong, but they are subjected to the same process of examining real facial expressions." He says that the process of reading the face of the brain is active to differentiate between the theory and the smile. Whether original or fake, faces go through the same process.

The Ritual Of Drinking A Solution Of Blood And Milk Posted: 17 Mar 2022 08:31 AM PDT The ritual of drinking a solution of blood and milk for a strange and interesting competition. We do our best to keep ourselves slim and smart, especially as we remain the enemy of our paunch. So that somehow it can be got rid of. But there is a nation in the world that is proud of its belly paunch. There are many people in the world who are in the news because of their beliefs, strange traditions, and customs. Due to the evolution of life, these traditions and customs have decreased, but even today there are tribes in the forests and backward areas who retain the old traditions. Today we are going to tell you about such a strange tradition which is followed by a tribe of Africa. People here also drink blood with cow's milk to get fat. While the people of the world work hard to lose weight and want to look smart by making six-pack abs, on the other hand, the men of this African tribe (Ethiopian) are proud of their obesity and are obsessed with gaining weight. The fat men of this tribe have the status of superstars. The name of this tribe is the "Bodi Tribe" which is found in Ethiopia. The tribe lives in the interior is located in south-western Ethiopia. A very strange belief is followed here. Young people here drink a mixture of cow's blood and milk to make them fat. They do not kill the cow to drink the blood but cut a vein in their body and mix its blood in the milk of the cow. The men who feed more here are considered the heroes of the whole tribe. In this regard, a special celebration is held on the New Year. There's a New Year's Eve party called the "Ka'el ceremony." It is like a competition between men in which unmarried men have to drink a mixture of blood and milk. They start preparing 6 months in advance to compete. In these 6 months, they can neither have a relationship with a woman nor can he get out of their hut. During this time they drink blood and milk. The first cup is of 2 liters which is drunk at sunrise. The rest of the cup can be drunk throughout the day. On the day of the competition, they cover their bodies with ashes and mud and show their fat body in front of the whole village and establish their supremacy by jumping. In addition, the sacred trees also take hours to circle. Meanwhile, the elders decide which of the men is at the top and is performing better. Then they sacrifice a cow and guess from its intestines what the coming year will be like. The winner is considered the fattest man in the village and is praised throughout the year.
