In Exodus, Moses comes down from Sinai with his face transformed. The Hebrew verb, qāran, related to qeren, 'horn', means here that his skin shone. But in the Vulgate, Saint Jerome's Latin translation completed around 405, his face becomes 'cornuta', horned. For centuries artists took it literally, right up to Michelangelo's famous Moses, carved around 1515. Some scholars think Jerome meant it figuratively, as 'glorified'.
In Kuşköy, a mountain village in northern Turkey, people talk across valleys by whistling Turkish. A 2015 study showed that whistled Turkish draws on both hemispheres fairly evenly, whereas spoken Turkish relies mostly on the left. The physical form of the signal, it turns out, matters to the brain.
Speech has no gaps between words. In 1996, researchers played 8-month-old babies a continuous stream of made-up syllables for just two minutes. The infants picked out the 'words' by tracking which syllables tend to follow one another. That's probability calculation, done without a calculator or any visible effort.
