Although Homo sapiens is the only human species left, for hundreds of thousands of years we were not alone.

Well ... I guess we're not entirely alone, because ancient human DNA lives on in us today🦴🧬

Cold meds like #Sudafed , #Mucinex , and #NyQuil have been in the news a bunch lately, and that's because U.S. FDA just reported one of their key ingredients — #phenylephrine — is no better than a placebo. Phenylephrine has been on store shelves since the 1930s 🤔 (1/2)
