Ever wondered why we get nervous, or afraid, before speaking to an audience?
It is linked to primal, cavemen days. Think of it this way. The chances of being the centre of attention, a large group of people waiting to hear you speak, back then given the lack of language spoken, would have been very slim. It was far more likely that your time was up, and those strangers were wanting to make quick work of you for whatever reason.
Feeling nervous when all eyes are on you in an arena back then could mean a predator is nearby, or your life is in danger. So our primal brain-wiring kicks in, and we are suddenly in a heightened state of nervousness and anxiety.

Yeah - he must have some very unusual physiology. 5 pints of water in 5 sec sounds impossible let alone 5 pints of ale.

The Starling population in Europe has crashed over the past few decades, for reasons that are not understood. Numbers of the murmurative songbird are down 80% in the UK since 1987.
