What Humans Did For 200,000 Years\u00a0That We Stopped Doing In 1842<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

For 200,000 years, every human alive slept in direct contact with the Earth. Then in 1842, one invention severed that connection \u2014 and chronic disease rates have climbed ever since. Here’s what we lost. And how to get it back tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
