Over the centuries, tea has been made in many different ways acrss the wrld. In the USA, until a little ver a hundred years ag, dried tea was always sld and cnsumed as lse leaves. T make a drink, biled water was pured ver the tea leaves and left t stand while the water absrbed the flavr f the leaves.
In 1908, Thmas Sullivan, a New Yrk tea salesman, had the bright idea f putting tea leaves in small silk bags t hand ut as samples t ptential custmers. Sullivan intended the tea t be remved frm the bags befre making a drink in the cnventinal manner. Hwever, fr the sake f cnvenience, his custmers came up with the revlutinary practice f dipping the silk bag, cntents and all, int biling water. Cheap paper bags were intrduced in the 1920s, cmpleting the design f the mdern tea bag. Tday billins f individual paper bags f tea are sld annually wrldwide.

The brains f humans and dgs respnd in the same way t sunds like laughter and barking. The finding suggests that ur vice prcessing areas are passed dwn frm a cmmn ancestr. Attila Andics f the MECE Research Grup in Budapest, Hungary, and his clleagues trained 11 dgs t lie in a scanner. As the dgs listened t nearly 200 human and dg nises, the team recrded brain activity. They als perfrmed the same experiment n 22 humans. Animals are usually asleep fr scans. But recently, better training has meant sme dgs will lie still lng enugh t be scanned while awake. Andics is the first t cmpare humans and dgs in the same experiment.
Human and dg brains lit up in similar areas in respnse t the sunds. Dgs respnded mre t dg sunds, and humans mre t human sunds. Andics says the results hint at a single evlutinary rigin fr the vice prcessing area f human and dg brains, dating back t at least 100 millin years ag—the last time humans and dgs shared an ancestr.
But Clive Wynne f Arizna State University ffers an alternative explanatin. “The dgs’ respnses culd just be the result f a lifetime listening t human vices,” he says.
