Crowing
I've said this many times since bringing home our first chicks. It shocked me how little we humans know about an animal we've relied on [exploited] desperately for thousands of years. I also couldn't believe how old I was when I realized this, sigh.Funny though don't you think. People have been keeping chickens for thousands of years and it has only been recently that much has been done to study much more than how to buther them and make them produce more eggs.
Honey bees are another good example. Beekeeping practices have been nudged forward by pockets of research, in fits & starts, over the centuries. It's surprising how slowly practices have evolved, considering how many people keep bees.
What have we humans been doing with our time??
