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 and Fresh Everyday Toothpaste
Size: 4.2 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 4.2 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This Mysmile Misty Mint toothpaste is a great option for sensitive teeth. It feels gentle, leaves a clean and fresh minty taste, and doesn’t irritate at all. I like that it’s fluoride-free with natural ingredients, yet still helps keep my teeth looking brighter. Simple, effective, and perfect for daily use.

Size: 4.2 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 4.2 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the MySmile Fluoride Free Toothpaste for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. I wanted something that could help with sensitivity and enamel health without fluoride or harsh chemicals, and this formula really delivers.The nano-hydroxyapatite ingredient is a great alternative to fluoride it helps strengthen enamel and noticeably reduces sensitivity over time. My teeth feel smoother and cleaner after brushing, and I’ve noticed less discomfort when drinking cold water or eating sweets. The Misty Mint flavor is light, natural, and refreshing not overpowering or artificial. It leaves my mouth feeling fresh for hours, and since it’s SLS-free, it doesn’t cause any irritation or dryness. The texture is creamy, and it foams just enough to feel effective without being harsh. it’s made with natural ingredients, which gives me peace of mind about using it daily. The packaging feels clean and modern, and the 4.2oz size is perfect for travel or keeping on the counter. ✅ Great for sensitive teeth ✅ Fluoride-free & enamel-safe ✅ Fresh, natural mint flavor ✅ Gentle and effective clean If you’re looking for a non-toxic, sensitivity-friendly toothpaste that actually strengthens and brightens your teeth, MySmile is an excellent choice.

Amazing
Size: 4.2 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this toothpaste! It feels incredibly gentle and natural, yet it still leaves my mouth feeling super clean and refreshed. Unlike other toothpastes I’ve tried, this one doesn’t have that burning or strong minty sensation that irritates my gums it’s soothing and comfortable to use every day. I’ve also noticed a real improvement with my tooth sensitivity since I started using it, which is amazing. It gives me that healthy, clean feeling without being harsh, and the texture and flavor are just right not too strong, not too sweet. Overall, this toothpaste feels very natural and effective. It’s definitely become one of my daily essentials, and I’ll keep buying it for sure!

Great for sensitivity + clean ingredients
Size: 4.2 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 4.2 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the MySmile Nano Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste for a while now, and it’s been a really positive switch—especially for sensitive teeth. It’s fluoride-free but still does a great job strengthening enamel and helping with sensitivity over time. The texture is smooth, and the “Misty Mint” flavor is light and refreshing without being overpowering. I also like that it’s SLS-free and feels more natural compared to traditional toothpastes. After consistent use, my teeth feel cleaner, less sensitive, and slightly brighter. It doesn’t foam as much as regular toothpaste, but that didn’t bother me once I got used to it.
