When I was a kid, my Brother showed me that you could chew pine resin. It tasted OK. Many years later I tried it again and it just turned to powder.

I guess you have to get it just right.

No one today quite understands how they did it, but people in the Stone Age could turn ribbons of birch bark into sticky, black tar. They used this tar to make tools, fixing arrowheads onto arrows and blades onto axes. And they chewed it, as evidenced by teeth marks in some lumps.

It was the duct tape of its day.

“the tar pieces captured the DNA of two females and one male”

What? DNA doesn’t determine gender. These scientists need to go to reeducation camp.
