Sometimes, life throws things at you. What you decide to do with them can mean nothing.

Or it can mean everything.

Like when Alyssa Crittenden was an undergraduate and she took an introduction to evolution class at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Whoa. Blew. Her. Away.

"It changed my life," said Crittenden, now an anthropology professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas whose most recent study is shaking up the way anthropologists think about the evolution of the human diet.

After that first class threw her a curve ball, Crittenden handled it like this: She gave up on being a doctor, she changed her major, she went on to get a doctorate degree, she decided to study the Hazda people in east Africa, and she noticed something kind-of odd living out there in the bush.

The Hazda simply love honey.

Yes, you're saying right now, of course they love honey. Who doesn't love honey? It's yummy!

Well, yes. But. Would you risk your life to get it?
