Did you know
The word “Friend” comes from the Old English word “frēond”, meaning “the loved one”.
According to a study from Yale University and the University of California at San Diego in 2014, good friends are often genetically similar. In fact, good friends can share up to 1% of the same genes - as much as we might share with our great-great-great grandparents!
