A slight adjustment to Marc Anthony’s speech in Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar. I am bringing culture and an anatomy lesson together for you in this teachable moment.
The smallest bone in the human body is the stapes, which is found in the ear. It is one of the three bones in the body which allows us to hear, along with the malleus and the incus. Together, the three are known as ossicles. They vibrate with sound vibrations, allowing our brain to pick up noises and differentiate sounds.
Now that you understand how you hear try using the amazing gift to listen to music or fine drama, productive conversation and the sounds of nature; anything but the frantic ranting of politicians attempting to frighten you into submission to their greedy schemes.
Sorry I had to be the one to tell you. They are all the same.
