Something

strange

happened

when

I

was

14years

old.

Every

previous

year on Thanksgiving Day I’d woken up early, filledwith excitement. But that

Thanksgiving, for some reason I saw no reason tocelebrate. None of my family

were really thankful, I realized. The whole thingwas a lie!

During the dinner time, I left, hiding in theguest room and cried. My mom

came to see what was wrong. “No one is reallythankful!” I sobbed, “They

just pretend for one day because that’swhat they’re supposed to do!”

After

I finished talking, she nodded. “You’reright,” she told me. “It’s

fake until you find the truth foryourself.” She said it was my choice whether to

celebrate with them ornot. She said Thanksgiving is a time to reflect because

we don’t always get tosee loved

ones and eat a good meal. Then she left.

I

didn’t

listen

to

her,

thinking

that

everyholiday

was

a

lie

and

I

could

never find joy celebrating again. But giving into my starving stomach, I went

back to the dining room in a few minutes. Icouldn’t believe wh

at I saw. My

entire

extended

family

was

waiting

for

me

withwide

smiles

and

concerned

looks, and the table was covered with untouchedplates.

“Andy,” my aunt said, “We can’teat without you. We’re waiting for

your turn. Now you can start it.”I didn’t know wh

at to say first. Finally, I said I

was thankful for having ayounger brother to teach, play with, and see grow.

The family shared, and everyone had somethingbeautiful to say. Listening

to what they said, I suddenly understood what mymom meant about finding

out my own reason for celebrating. For me, this holidaywas a chance to pause

and reflect on everything I cared about.

And with that, I took a huge and satisfyingbite of food.

Recently according to a new research, humanshave had a link to starches

for up to 120,000 years

—

that’s more than 100,000 years longerthan we’ve

been able to plant them in the soil during the time of the ice Age’sdrawing to

an

end.

The

research

is

part

of

an

ongoing

study

into

the

history

ofMiddle

Stone Age communities.

An international team of scientistsidentified evidence of prehistoric starch

consumption in the Klasies RiverCave, in present-day South Africa. Analyzing

small, ashy, undistu

rbed hearths inside the cave, the researchersfound “pieces

of burned starches” ranging from around 120,000 to65,000 years old. It made

them the oldest known examples of starches eaten byhumans.

Thefindings

do

not

come

as

a

complete

surprise

—

but

rather

as

welcomeconfirmation of older theories that lacked the related evidence. The

leadauthor

Cynthia

Larbey

said

that

there

had

previously

only

been

geneticbiological evidence to suggest that humans had been eating starch for

thislong.

This

new

evidence,

however,

takes

us

directly

to

the

dinner

table,

andsupports

the

previous

assumption

that

humans’

digestion

genes

gradually evolvedin order to fit into an increased digestion of starch.

Co-

author

Sarah

Wurz

said,

“The

starchremains

show

that

these

early

humans

living

in

the

Klasies

River

Cave

couldbattle

against

their

tough

environment and find suitable foods and perhapsmedicines. And as much as

we all still desire the tubers , these cave communities weregilling starches such

as potatoes on their foot-long hearths. They knew how tobalance their diets as

well as they could, with fats from local fish and otheranimals.”

Asearly

as

the

1990s,

some

researchers

started

to

study

the

hearths

in

theKlasies

River

Cave.

Scientist

Hilary

Deacon

first

suggested

that

these

hearthscontained

burned

plants.

At

the

time,

the

proper

methods

of

examining

theremains

were

not

yet

available.

We

now

know

human

beings

have always beensearching for their desired things.

A

book

is

so

much

more

than

mere

ink

andpaper.

So

insist

French

booksellers, who for nearly four decades successfullypersuade the government

to keep the forces of the free market at bay. A lawpassed in 1981 bans the sale

of

any

book

at

anything

other

than

the

pricedecided

by

its

publisher.

Authorities are cracking down on those trying to sellthe latest Thomas Piketty

or J.K Rowling at a discount.

Thefixed-price

rule

is

meant

to

keep

customers

loyal

to

their

local

bookshop

andout

of

the

control

of

supermarkets

and

corporations.

But

the

arrival ofe-commerce and e-readers has promoted questions worthy of their

own tomes. Can you fix the price of abook if it is part of an all-you-can-read

subscription service? Are audio- booksbooks at all? And what of authors who

self-publish?
