      Humanity has been competing with each other's physical prowess for what feels like the dawn of our species. Many of these sports require not just peak physical condition to compete but a sharp mind as well. However there is little to no debate that Running and boxing are the oldest sports to ever exist. Martial arts Has a long history spanning all the way back to the roman empire, and even longer before that. However the same can be said about running. Humanity has always been running, since the earliest stage of our evolution if we didn't run from predators we may not be here today.       The question is; which one is older?

  Thomas Edison is a fraud?      Thomas Edison is a rather controversial person to speak about. Did he or did he not actually invent the lightbulb? Everyone knows that he has taken credit for this amazing feat, but, does he truly deserve this glory?      I am against this glamorized depiction of Mr.Edison. I refuse to fall into line with the cheaply made facade that he has created right in front of our very eyes.       Thomas Edison “invented” the lightbulb in 1879 as the following credible sources claim. He came up with the idea when he realized there was a flaw with Joseph Swans design, the filament.       Now we have the anterior side to discuss. Joseph Swan, a scientist.
