Who wore the first pants? Who painted the first masterpiece? Who first rode the horse? Who invented soap? This madcap adventure across ancient history uses everything from modern genetics to archaeology to uncover the geniuses behind these and other world-changing innovations.

Who invented the wheel? Who told the first joke? Who drank the first beer? Who was the murderer in the first murder mystery, who was the first surgeon, who sparked the first fire--and most critically, who was the first to brave the slimy, pale oyster?

In this book, writer Cody Cassidy digs deep into the latest research to uncover the untold stories of some of these incredible innovators (or participants in lucky accidents). With a sharp sense of humor and boundless enthusiasm for the wonders of our ancient ancestors, Who Ate the First Oyster? profiles the perpetrators of the greatest firsts and catastrophes of prehistory, using the lives of individuals to provide a glimpse into ancient cultures, show how and why these critical developments occurred, and educate us on a period of time that until recently we've known almost nothing about.

Gentle Moisturizing Toner
Scent: Original, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I rely on bed baths for staying clean, due to severe physical disability. This product is a mainstay in my grooming routine. I use it on my face and all over my body. It is very gentle and provides moisturization, as well. The scent is quite subtle, and does not bother my chemical sensitivities.

Good gentle foaming cleanser, not stripping at all
Size Name: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style Name: Facial Cleanser
I use this to wash my face at night. It’s a really gentle foaming cleanser, doesn’t irritate my sensitive rosacea prone skin at all. Affordable and fragrance free. Highly recommended.

Lacking authenticity
Size Name: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style Name: Facial Cleanser
The product came without: a) a box b) product seal around the opening - so anyone can tamper with it c) no manufacturing date d) no expiry date Facial wash? Or detergent? It's anyone's guess.
