Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes (which feed on keratin) or yeast (very rare cases with impaired immune system). Clefts affect the plant and the edges of the foot. Approximately 60% of the diseases of the feet is caused by fungi. To prevent athlete’s foot specialists give us the following tips:

1. Used shoes / sandals in gyms, swimming pools, changing rooms and showers, avoid walking barefoot on high-traffic areas.

2. Dry feet well after washing, especially between the toes, which is the main area of fungal growth.

3. Change socks and shoes daily. Using the same shoes all the time does not allow them to breathe and microorganisms accumulate.

4. Wear shoes that allow the foot to breathe, usually recommended those made from natural materials and cotton.

S. If someone in your family has athlete’s foot, avoid walking barefoot in the common areas such as carpets.

The Museum of Human Evolution in Burgos has hosted the exhibition entitled “The diet that made us human,” which explains how food is key to understanding the evolution of the human species, with amongst others that Neanderthals were the first hominids to dare the taste of the shellfish.

Ana Mateos, curator of the exhibition, and Ricardo Marti Fluxa Institute President Thomas Pascual who helps organize the exhibition, explained that recent studies show that some australopithecines used tools to eat meat, although it is difficult to determine if animals consumed were killed or found as carrion.

Humans, the researchers said, have evolved as opportunistic omnivores “and there is abundant evidence that many hominids were scavenging carcasses.

These practices have been consistent with active hunting and gathering for hundreds of thousands of years and diet of the species of the genus Homo has always been mixed in the sense that it included meat, fats, fruits and vegetables.

However, populations of Neanderthals were the first to include regularly consumed resources hitherto only sporadically, such as shellfish and other marine animals.

However, Homo sapiens who truly extend the human diet by eating all kinds of resources usually well water, including fish, molluscs and crustaceans, and terrestrial, with all kinds of mammals, birds or plants.

The director of the Museum of Human Evolution, Javier Vicente, said that this exhibition, on display in the temporary exhibition hall of the Museum of Human Evolution, until April, replacing the show dedicated to how this was planned museum.

According to Matthew, the sample is based on detailed laboratory studies, which may respond to questions such as whether there has been a strict vegetarian hominid, since when we consume fish and shellfish, or from when we use fire to consume food as well as the evolution conservation.

It also explained the reasons for the cannibalism of hominids, a topic widely discussed in Homo antecessor, whose remains were found in the Atapuerca site and found in the Museum of Human Evolution in Burgos.

According to the curator of the exhibition many of the adaptive success of the human species can be attributed to metabolic and physiological changes, but also to the skills of procurement, preparation and consumption of food.

This allowed humans to adapt to environmental changes over more than four million years.

Essential elements of this evolution have been biological evolution, brain expansion, modifications and even dental technological and cultural developments.
