常見錯誤觀念列表
以下是常见错误观念的列表。每个条目包括错误观念与改正确的声明。
歷史
- 不論用什麼方法來測量,現代人的預期壽命確實比中世紀或更以前的人還來得高許多[14];不過,預期壽命常常錯誤地和一個成年人預期可存活的壽命相混淆,這個混淆會導致「成年人不太可能活過平均壽命」這種錯誤的印象,而在事實上,成年人已經避免了許多會在幼年時期導致死亡的因素,因此事實上成年人的預期壽命,會遠遠高於出生時的預期壽命。[15]不同年齡的人的預期壽命,尤其是兒童期之後的人的預期壽命,常常會和出生時的預期壽命,有很大的差異,尤其在工業革命前更是如此。[15]像例如說在十三世紀時,英國貴族的平均壽命大約是30歲,但當時,對於活到21歲的成年男性而言,他們的預期壽命大約是64歲。
- 小西庇阿在第三次布匿战争中战胜迦太基以后并没有迦太基的土地上撒盐[16][17][18][19]。
- 古希腊和古罗马的雕塑最初是有颜色的;它们今天呈现白色是因为颜料脱落了。一些保存较好的雕塑依然有其最初的颜色[20][21][21][22]。
- 沒有證據或文物顯示維京人的頭盔上有角作裝飾。[23]
- 维京人将冰岛命名为“冰岛”并不是为了防止其他人在此定居;最早到达冰岛的弗洛基等人到达岛上时看到了冰,因此这样命名[24]。另一方面,格陵兰的命名则是为了吸引人们前来移居[25][26][27]。
- 鐵處女並非於中世紀發明,或曾用於酷刑,而是在18世紀時,博物館為嘩眾取寵而湊合成的作品。[28]
- 中世紀人並不認為地球是平的。古希臘時期,柏拉圖和亞里斯多德已經提出了地圓說。地圓說在中世紀時已是知識分子的觀點。[29]
- 哥倫布從未踏足現今美國的土地。他發現的土地是屬於現今加勒比海群島的土地。哥倫布亦不是第一個踏足美洲的歐洲人:維京人萊夫·埃里克松在10世紀末已經踏足紐芬蘭島,但他沒有到過美洲大陸。[30][31]
- 马克·波罗並沒有把中國拉麵帶到意大利,而演變成意大利麵。此說法是由美國的食物業推廣,以增加意大利麵的銷售率。[32][33]
- 同樣地,意大利披薩並非由马克·波罗帶到意大利的中國蔥油餅而演變而成。[34] 披薩早於10世紀時已在地中海地區流傳。[35][36]
- 沒有資料記載瑪麗·安東尼曾說過「何不食蛋糕?」(法语:Qu'ils mangent de la brioche)。這句話最早出現在盧梭第六卷《懺悔錄》中,文中是由一位沒有被作者命名的「崇高的公主」所說的。[37]
- 拿破崙並非矮子。事實上他比普通的法國人高。[38][39]
- 聖誕老人的造型並非可口可樂公司所發明的。[40]
- 奧森·威爾斯的《世界大戰》播出時,並沒有在美國引起廣泛恐慌。實際上,當時只有少數人收聽該節目。[41][42]
- 二戰波蘭戰役中,波蘭騎兵並沒有向德國坦克發動攻擊。此傳說可能是受波蘭騎兵攻擊德軍步兵營的克羅加提戰役所啟發。[43][44]
- 冷戰時的美蘇熱線並非紅色的電話,而是一部電傳打字機,其後改成傳真機。[45]

动物
生物演化论
- 人类不是从黑猩猩或任何当代物种演化而来的[57]。人类和黑猩猩是从共同祖先演化而来[58][59];人类和黑猩猩、倭黑猩猩等黑猩猩属动物的最近共同祖先 生活在5百万到8百万年前[60]。
- 物种演化不是从低级生命体到高级生命体的进步,也并不一定会导致生命体复杂程度的提高。一个种群可能朝着更简单、基因组更小的方向演化;但物种“退化”是一个误称[61][62]。实际上“进化”和“退化”都是不准确的说法,应该采取中性说法“演化”。
- 并非所有的恐龙都在白垩纪﹣古近纪灭绝事件(俗称“恐龙大灭绝”)中灭绝了。鸟在侏罗纪从小型有羽獸腳亞目动物演化而来。大多数恐龙的确在白垩纪晚期灭绝了,但鸟类幸存了下来[63]。
- 哺乳动物并非从任何现代爬行动物演化而来。哺乳动物和爬行动物拥有共同的祖先。类爬行动物首次出现之后,很快就分成了两个演化方向,蜥形纲和合弓纲[64]。最终演化成哺乳动物的一支(即合弓纲)与后来演化成现代爬行动物的一支(即蜥形纲)分离时间约为3200万年前石炭纪中期。在石炭纪晚期和二叠纪早期,现代爬行动物(鱗龍超目、龜鱉目、鳄目)才开始分化。哺乳动物则是合弓纲这一支唯一幸存的一类动物[65]。
人类生理学
- 舌頭的味覺圖是錯誤的。舌頭所有部位都能感應所有味道[66]。
- 基本味觉不是四种,而是五种,除了酸、甜、苦、咸外,还有鲜[67]。辣不是味觉,而是痛觉。
- 体能锻炼引起的肌肉酸痛不是乳酸堆积造成的[68]。在运动时和运动后肌肉乳酸浓度与肌肉酸痛没有相关性[69]。通常认为锻炼引起的肌肉酸痛来源于因为不习惯或剧烈运动引起的微创伤[70]。
- 旁观者通常不容易察觉到溺水[71]。在大多数情况下,本能性溺水反應使溺水者无法挥舞或大喊[71],因此挥舞和大喊不是判断溺水的可靠迹象[72]。
- 不存在判断一名女性是否为处女的生理测试,处女膜的状况不能说明一个人的性经历[73][74]。出血与第一次阴道性交并不直接相关,也不提供任何有关性经验的信息[73][74]。贞操测试没有科学依据[75]。
- 目前为止还没有证据证明G点是存在的,普遍共识是所谓的G点并不存在[76][77][78][79]。
- 人并不是只使用大脑的百分之十。虽然在一个特定的时间大脑中只有少数神经元主动激发,但不活跃的神经元也很重要[80][81]。这一误解往往归因于威廉·詹姆士,但他的说法只是隐喻[82]。
- 皮肤泡水起皱不是因为皮肤吸水[83],而是由自主神经系统在水分的刺激下引发局部性血管收缩,使皮下组织收缩起皱[84][85]。
- 饮食对身体排毒几乎没有影响,服用某些食物来排毒没有科学依据[86]。一些科学家认为这样的饮食方案是浪费时间和金钱[87]。尽管如此,某些特定的饮食能够排出身体无法排出的毒素这种观点依然十分普遍[88][89][90][91]。毒素的排出是通过肝脏和肾脏进行的[86]。
- 一天八杯水、一天2到3升水的说法都是不准确的[92]。每天人体需水量取决于许多因素:体重、饮食、活动强度、衣着多少、环境的温度和湿度等。水并不都是以纯水的形式摄入,也可以通过食物和饮料补充[92]。

- Geoffrey K. Pullum's explanation 页面存档备份,存于 in Language Log: The list of snow-referring roots to stick [suffixes] on isn't that long [in the Eskimoan language group]: qani- for a snowflake, apu- for snow considered as stuff lying on the ground and covering things up, a root meaning "slush", a root meaning "blizzard", a root meaning "drift", and a few others – very roughly the same number of roots as in English. Nonetheless, the number of distinct words you can derive from them is not 50, or 150, or 1500, or a million, but simply unbounded. Only stamina sets a limit.
- The seven most common English words for snow are snow, hail, sleet, ice, icicle, slush, and snowflake. English also has the related word glacier and the four common skiing terms pack, powder, crud, and crust, so one can say that at least 12 distinct words for snow exist in English.

Dogs do not sweat with their tongues as most people believe. They do have some sweat glands, but the ones of most importance are on the pads, or soles, of their feet.

Of course, dogs sweat. You would, too, if you had to wear a fur coat in hot weather. Dogs excrete moisture through the pads on their paws.

It is another folk tale that dogs do not sweat except through the tongue. This is an incorrect belief as dogs possess sweat glands all over the body.

SOME time ago we received from a correspondent an inquiry as to whether the very prevalent belief that a dog perspires through the tongue was a vulgar error or well founded. ...whether the dog exudes fluid from the tongue of the some kind as that exuded from the human skin. To this question the answer is, No. The skin of the dog is abundantly furnished with glands, having the characteristic disposition and structure of those which in man produce sweat, ... in other words, the dog does not sweat by the tongue.

- "Two other beliefs about [the golden ratio] are often mentioned in magazines and books: that the ancient Greeks believed it was the proportion of the rectangle the eye finds most pleasing and that they accordingly incorporated the rectangle in many of their buildings, including the famous Parthenon. These two equally persistent beliefs are likewise assuredly false and, in any case, are completely without any evidence." Devlin, Keith. . Basic Books. 2008: 35.

- "Part of the process of becoming a mathematics writer is, it appears, learning that you cannot refer to the golden ratio without following the first mention by a phrase that goes something like 'which the ancient Greeks and others believed to have divine and mystical properties.' Almost as compulsive is the urge to add a second factoid along the lines of 'Leonardo Da Vinci believed that the human form displays the golden ratio.' There is not a shred of evidence to back up either claim, and every reason to assume they are both false. Yet both claims, along with various others in a similar vein, live on." Keith Devlin. .
