Are yawns contagious?


Does every human has widsom teeth?



Answers:
Not contagious but we are affected by an others yawning. This is called "Alolomimea" funny name but its what its called. Scientists believe that the reason we react to other people yawning is because in our early history ("caveman times") we needed to regulate our sleeping patterns so we could all survive together. Kinda like one for all and all for one deal. So if one of our cavemen buddies was tired we would all need to rest so we could all effectively hunt as a unit. It served us as a natural "hey dude im tired lets take a break so we can hunt better and not die" It's a true story!

is it true that if male is suffering premature ejculation , he will not be able to get his wife preganent?

The answer is, no one really knows why yawning is "contagious". Or why we yawn at all. One popular explanation is that yawning allows you to get rid of too much carbon dioxide in your system and increase your oxygen supply. This was disproved by Dr. Robert Provine and his research team in 1987.

is there a natural sweetner that tastes like sugar and is not bad or you?

The simple truth is that even though humans have been yawning for possibly as long as they have existed, we have no clue as to why we do it. Maybe it serves some healthful purpose. It does cause us to draw in more air and our hearts to race faster than normal, but so does exercise. There's still much we don't understand about our own brains, so maybe yawning is triggered by some area of the brain we have yet to discover. We do know that yawning is not limited to man. Cats, dogs, even fish yawn, which leads us back to the idea that yawning is some form of communication.

What are the siddha treatments available for psoriasis?

YES! That isn't the only thing that is mentally transferred to our brains though.

We seem to have a certain oral fixation or something.
Have you ever noticed that while watching TV(or in real life), that if we're watching someone who is pursing their lips, we do it too?

Also, laughter, then we do it too! Most of the time we aren't even aware that we're frowning, when someone else is.

If a person is talking wildly with their eyebrows almost meeting their hairline, we do it too.

Someone cries, we do too. So actually, it's not just an oral fixation but our brains react to stimuli of all kinds of facial expression and what not.

Can you watch someone who has an itchy body part and they are scratching like mad, without US starting to itch and scatch at the same places they're scatching?

We all must be very crazy, sensative beings. We addopt just about EVERYTHING! It hurts our salivary glands when we see someone bite into a lemmon! That's sad.

If someone his showing signs of sexual arrousal on TV, GUESS what happens to us. We start feeling that TOO!

We must be very very sick. Our brains tell us to feel what everybody else feels. Maybe it's a GOOD thing. I don't know. Maybe that's nature's way of teaching us how to feel what others feel, so we can be better people when it comes to helping others.

It sounds a lot like some sort of empathy programming we have stuck in our brains.

I really don't know but it sounds good. Plausible, atleast.
