Climate changed the shape of our nose

Why is everyone’s nose a different shape? A recent study says that the Earth’s climate could change the shape of our nose, in fact people with wider noses live in humid areas,  while people with narrower noses live in colder places, and so our nose is like a temperature controller. The scientists have obtained this answer analyzing the noses of Africans, Asians and Europeans and the research could help people with the heat or cold, and the humidity if they go to other countries.

All roads lead to Rome

With the death of  Thomas Becket, people make the pilgrimage to Canterbury where he was buried. Canterbury is the starting  point of  the Via Francigena, a medieval route of trade and pilgrimage. But the route was born by the Archbishop of  Canterbury Sigeric The Serious, that in 990 went to Rome to meet  the Pope. On his return  to Canterbury he noted all of his steps. And so the Via Francigena runs from Canterbury to Rome.
