And so to rely on the knowledge of other species actually makes a lot of sense. It's probably a lot more than we know at the moment." - Jaap de Roode Jaap de Roode is a biology professor at Emory University, and he is the author of an astonishing new book called Doctors by Nature How Ants, Apes, and Other Animals Heal Themselves . I say astonishing because I had no idea about so much of what he explores in his book. It never occured to me to consider that other species use medicine and have been healing themselves forever.

We have so MUCH rich muchness in this episode. A veritable souffle of things to learn and family banter! Lexi stops by to tell us she feeels sponsored. Gotta love our 7 year old. Arthur lets us know about his upcoming trip to Planet Comicon in his corner and we talk about being without water as the trailer court we live in ;upgrades' their pipes. And none of that is even the show topic!!! Ever heard of Starlite? Not Starlink, Starlite? (Pay attention bunkie). It's an incredible compound that if it was put on an egg, and an acetylene torch was then used on the egg, it would remain cool to the touch, completely uncooked. It could be spread over a human hand and if exposed to flame or heat, the hand remained unharmed! Or what about a grenade used in the days of the Babylonian empire that would burn on top of water and even couldn't be put out with water? This was Greek Fire! We discuss Sylphium, Mithridatium, Nepenthe, flexible glass, the Lycurgus Cup, Damascus Steel, Stradivarius Violins and Roman Cement, all amazing inventions, or plants that were in common usage in their time that have become simply lost to history. So come on in, sit down a spell and learn about some cool inventions with us!!! Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support .…
