I started on Wikipedia at "Neuron" and just keep clicking or Googling anything I didn't understand. All I've really been focused on is learning just enough to know how to fix myself since professionals haven't been all to helpful in that regard.

Other animals are content to keep things as they've been for millenia, but humans as a species seem to have this neurotic need to keep changing things, and while they increase their lifespan, they get sicker in the process.

The changes we've made, the 'progress', oddly does as much harm as good. The lifespan of humans during hunter gatherer times were on average less than ours, but when someone managed to live through childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood they lived longer and healthier lives than the average American does.
