Young children frequently report imaginary scary things in their bedrooms at night. This study examined the remembrances of 140 preschool children and 404 adults selecting either above, side, or below locations for a scary thing relative to their beds. The theoretical framework for this investigation posited that sexual-size dimorphism in Australopithecus afarensis, the presumed human ancestor in the Middle Pliocene, constrained sleeping site choice to mitigate predation. Smaller-bodied females nesting in trees would have anticipated predatory attacks from below, while male nesting on the ground would have anticipated attacks from their side. Such anticipation of nighttime attacks from below is present in many arboreal primates and might still persist as a cognitive relict in humans. In remembrances of nighttime fear, girls and women were predicted to select the below location and males the side location. Following interviews of children and adult questionnaires, multinomial log-linear analyses indicated statistically significant interactions (p < 0.001) of sex by location for the combined sample and  each age class driven, in part, by larger frequencies of males selecting the side location and females selecting the below location.

Amber O'Hearn stopped eating leafy greens and non starchy veggies 13 years ago after reading about carnivore diets on a Facebook group filled with carb-free advocates.

She intended to try it out for only a few weeks, but stuck with it after seeing dramatic benefits for her mental and physical health.

"I immediately started dropping weight and feeling better. My mood was really lifted," O'Hearn told Insider. "I felt like everything I was eating was already healthy, which is why it was so surprising."

Amy Berger, a certified nutrition specialist, told Insider red meat has been "unfairly demonized and targeted."

"It's an extremely nutrient-rich food people have been eating for millennia," she said.

Jake Thomas, a Marine and marathon runner, said he made the carnivore diet a staple after trying it for 30 days in 2020.

After briefly experiencing brain fog, irritability, and headaches on the diet, Thomas said he didn't want to stop — he was sleeping better, had more energy, and felt less sore after exercising.

"It's like rocket fuel. Everything I'm consuming is giving to me," he said.

A typical day of eating for Thomas includes a pound of rib eye, four eggs slurped raw, raw dairy, and chicken thighs, bacon, and beef liver.

Thomas also occasionally eats his steak or bacon raw, although eating raw meat, especially pork, can lead to serious disease and parasitic infection, according to the CDC. He said he's willing to brave the risks since eating raw made him feel more able to absorb and connect with his food.

"It's such an intimate way to eat. It feels like a holy experience," he said.
