Everything Everywhere Daily - All About Hair

If you are listening to me speak these words and can understand what I’m saying, then you are a human being.

If you are a human being, you are also a mammal, and if you are a mammal, you have hair….or at least the biological capability to produce hair.

But why exactly do we have hair? What function does it serve? Why do we have less than other animals? And why do people have different types of hair?

Learn more about hair, what it does and how it works on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Kamikaze

In the last year of the Second World War, things were not going well for the Imperial Japanese military. 

They had lost several major naval battles against the United States, they were losing territory, and they had no capability to rebuild the ships that they were losing.

They were desperate to find something to turn the tide of the war. What they settled on was one of the most terrifying tactics of the entire conflict for participants on both sides. 

Learn more about the kamikaze pilots and why Japan adopted such a desperate tactic on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The 1956 Suez Crisis

In 1956, one of the most important geopolitical events of the post-war period took place in Egypt. 

Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal, one of the most important waterways in the world. 

In response, a coalition of several countries tried to take it back. However, it didn’t go as planned, and it signaled a major reshuffling of the geopolitical order.
