I used to think it was a reflex that everyone has.
One day, when I came to the edge of sneezing at work and could not sneeze, got up and fixed my eyes on the fluorescent lamp, my friend in front of me looked at me confused and said, "What are you doing? Are you okay?" It is the reflex that I understand is not actually in everyone. coincidentally it was something that I only had in the department, and therefore I couldn't convince anyone. they made fun of me I'm so lonely sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The action that I have, which I think is triggered by the facial muscles that probably contract when looking at the sun ...
Even if I do not have any scientific arguments behind it, as a son of a race that can make judgments more confidently than even the best knowing this business as a Turk, I say it is definitely related to this ...
You know, our planet is periodically experiencing prolonged ice ages. Our last ice age BC. It ended with the beginning of the Neolithic age around 10 thousand. In order to accelerate the formation of the next ice age, we human beings are doing our best with excessive carbon emissions.
we are primates. primates don't like cold. They naturally live in closed, cave-like places when the ice age begins. In order to navigate in dark, large, labyrinthine caves, one must reach the light.
Some primates who are instantly exposed to photons, the basic unit of light, may have started sneezing and headed towards the cave exit. Because of these features, they may have assumed the role of navigator primates within the primate group.
at this point i wonder that I ask those who sneeze when they go out to the sun. How is your ability to find direction? Do you think there is a relationship between the light-induced sneezing reflex and the ability to navigate?
Actually, when I say primates, I don't just mean homosaphiens. I would like you to consider this theory by adding the experience of pre-homosaphiens primates to the mentioned chain of mutation and evolution.
Consequently, if we want to link the light-induced sneezing reflex to a causal mutation, my theory is; This is because it stems from the need for survival and direction.
the reflex in question; We might think it developed in the primates who were the least afraid of the dark and the bravest of the primate group. We can call those who have this mutation " those who run in the dark ".
For example, I :) you have come to our hands to find directions in that ice age.
Another name is photic sneezing reflex .
Usually, many people sneeze due to a triggering factor for their nose to be tickled. One of these factors is sunlight.
The photic sneezing reflex is the one that causes people who are directly exposed to sunlight to sneeze. It usually occurs when transitions from a dim environment to sunlight. 20-30 percent of the world population has this reflex.
this reflex is genetically inherited. If the mother or father has the gene that concerns this reflex, their children are likely to have the photic sneezing reflex as well.
Since sneezing causes a momentary loss of vision, fighter jet pilots wear sunglasses and thus protect them from both the irritating effect of the sun and the negative effects of the photic sneezing reflex.
-I lay on the beach, the sun drips .. haaa sneeze! *
long live !
