Original Title: TIL that 2.5% of people are affected by prosopagnosia, or face-blindness. Symptoms include an inability to recognize people you know, and finding a vague familiarity in strangers who bear some resemblance to loved ones. Causes range from genetic to acquired, which sometimes spontaneously resolves.
