I used to think an average person who isn’t an athlete could only jump as high as the point their hand reaches when they stretch their arm upward.
But that’s not actually correct. 😅
Even an untrained person can usually jump several inches above their standing reach. The difference between your standing reach and your highest reach while jumping is called your vertical jump. 📏
Now I’m curious: How many inches or centimetres can you jump above your standing reach? 🤔

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 👨🚀🌌 Without a #spacesuit, a person exposed to #space would not explode or experience instantly boiling blood. However...
Internal gases would expand, exposed fluids could evaporate, and tissue swelling could occur. Consciousness might be lost within roughly 15 seconds. To make matters worse, holding the breath creates added risk of lung damage or air bubbles in the bloodstream.

‘You’re fully accepted’: Being nude in public can make us feel better about our bodies.
Research suggests that naturism, the practice of non-sexual social nudity, can help people improve their body image.
Naturists and experts tell the BBC how it works.

Ever wondered why women's legs and knees align a bit differently than men's? It actually comes down to anatomy and something called the Q-angle (due to a wider pelvis and how the thighbone angles down).
If you want to dive into the actual science behind it, check out this medical study:

Follow up scans by #Durham University researchers showed structural changes in the #brain’s visual cortex. A separate 2025 study examined how 30 million years of echolocation #evolution shaped dolphin and whale brains.

The other day I noted that the human pelvis, evolutionary, is a mess. It's probably worth expending on that. The human birth canal is relatively very small, and that is a trade-offs related to us walking bipedality as well as pelvic floor stability.
