A frozen baby mammoth
The woolly mammoth was one of the last in a line of mammoth species. Its appeara
nce and behaviour are among the best studied of any prehistoric animal due to th
e discovery of frozen carcasses (example pictured) in Siberia and Alaska, as wel
l as skeletons, teeth, stomach contents, dung, and depiction from life in prehis
toric cave paintings. The animal was only identified as an extinct species of el
ephant by Georges Cuvier in 1796. Its closest extant relative is the Asian eleph
ant. The woolly mammoth was well adapted to the cold environment during the last
ice age, and had long, curved tusks. Its habitat was the mammoth steppe, which
stretched across northern Eurasia and North America. The woolly mammoth coexiste
d with early humans, who used its bones and tusks for making art, tools, and dwe
llings, and the species was also hunted for food. It disappeared from its mainla
nd range at the end of the Pleistocene 10,000 years ago, most likely through a c
ombination of climate change, consequent disappearance of its habitat, and hunti
ng by humans. Recreation through cloning has been proposed, but this is as yet i
nfeasible; the ethics of this have also been questioned. (Full article...)

Man in robes with long brown hair practicing speaking by the ocean with pebbles
in his mouth
Stutterers are people who have a speech disorder in which the flow of speech is
disrupted by involuntary repetitions and prolongations of sounds, syllables, wor
ds or phrases, and involuntary silent pauses or blocks during which the stuttere
r is unable to produce sounds. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was one
of the 30% of stutterers who have an associated speech disorder a lisp in his case y
et led his nation through World War II. Demosthenes (pictured) stuttered and was
inarticulate as a youth, yet, through dedicated practice, using methods such as
placing pebbles in his mouth, became a great orator of Ancient Greece. King Geo
rge VI was so embarrassed by his stutter that he hired speech-language pathologi
st Lionel Logue and greatly improved his public speaking. Country singer Mel Til
lis stutters when talking but not when singing. English comedian Rowan Atkinson
incorporates his stuttering into his work by using over-articulation to overcome
problematic consonants. German actor Dieter Thomas Heck started stuttering afte
r being trapped under a staircase after a bombing raid in World War II. (Full li
