All of these phrases are known by most people, yet they come from a language that has been dead for 1500 years: Latin.
Latin is on our money, serves as mottos for universities, and is the
foundation for our entire naming system in biology. Many concepts from law and logic are all described by Latin phrases.
Learn more about Lingua Latina, the Latin Language on this episode of Totum Ubique Cotidie.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Dodo Bird
In 1598 the Dutch Empire acquired the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.
There they found a short, fat, flightless bird that was only found on that island. The bird had absolutely no fear of humans, but perhaps it should have.
In 1662, just 64 years later, the last known bird was sighted, and after that, the entire species went extinct.
Learn more about the dodo bird and how it disappeared on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
