Reply to what effects do dehydration and tiredness have on our perceived hearing? by dombeale

Interesting. It has been established that people with ehlers danlos syndrome and fibromyalgia often have increased perception to noise and light, and both these are associated with fatigue. It would make sense that you are more fatigued for the second show of the day so maybe experiment with getting in a half hour nap between shows if possible? See if that has any effect?

Reply to How different were the first horses domesticated by humans compared to modern horses? by clacker96

Current theories is that they were domesticated first as food animals, and then people found out how good they are at other things.

The first horses domesticated were very similar to przewalskis horse... Small, mowhawk mane etc.

(Genetics indicate that the przewalskis horse is not a true wild horse alas)

I thought the Royal Tyrell museum of paleontology had a good lecture on horse evolution but I can only find theirs on evolution of horses in the Americas. I'll link if I can find it. (maybe it's the same one and it mentioned the Przewalskis horse too)
