Humans Growing Spikes in the Back of Their Skulls

[Rolluplostinspace]

Press your fingers into the back of your skull, just above your neck. If you feel a small spike you may be among people whose body has responded to smartphone use by growing new layers of bone.

The phenomenon involves what is known as an external occipital protuberance: a growth which appears on the back of the head. David Shahar, a health scientist at the University of The Sunshine Coast, Australia, told BBC.com that in the last decade of his 20 year career he has noticed more patients have the protrusion which was once considered rare.

Shahar explained to BBC.com that when the external occipital protuberance was first studied by French scientist Paul Broca in 1885 "he didn't like it because he had studied so many specimens, and he hadn't really seen any which had it."

In a study published in the Journal of Anatomy in 2016, Shahar and his co-author described how he had been spotting external occipital protuberances more often in x-rays of relatively young patients at his clinic. To find out more, he look>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I read the link and was tempted to go full gammon on it, but suspected a triple bluff by twat-features...

Imagine if you have stalactites and stalagmites, if no one is bothering them, they will just keep growing.

This quote however reminded me of the only fact I remember from school geography.

It would be better if you promised us, not to let Jack make these stupid fucking CT threads

From the emergence of a spiky growth at the back of some people’s skulls to the enigmatic finding that our elbows are getting narrower, our bones are changing in surprising ways

Today it’s an established fact that our skeletons are surprisingly malleable. The pure white remains displayed in museums may seem solid and inert, but the bones beneath our flesh are very much alive – they’re actually pink with blood vessels – and they’re constantly being broken down and rebuilt. So although each person’s skeleton develops according to a rough template set out in their DNA, it is then tailored to accommodate the unique stresses of their life.

This has led to a discipline known as “osteobiography" – literally “the biography of bones” – which involves looking at a skeleton to find out how its owner lived.

It's becoming known as text neck because it is being caused by the constant stooped neck.
You don't believe your spine and other bones can alter that quickly?
How quick does a broken leg take to knit itself back together in a cast and be perfectly able to bare weight again?
Why have I got spurs growing on my top few vertebrae with one being long enough to occasionally catch on a major blood vessel when I turn my head to the right making me feel a little dizzy for a second or two?
These spurs weren't there half a dozen years ago.
I have a spur in one of my lower vertebrae that has fused with one from another vertebra above it.
How many years have people been hanging their heads down while sitting standing walking to use their mobiles .... how many years?
It's more than the half dozen years that my spine has had to grow extra bits.
It's very real.
