‘Bakers are craftsmen, working mostly at night, unlike other craftsmen who, once 
their work during the day is done, can grasp sleep, and by this renew the worn-out 
forces. The bakers are the whole night rushing about, and then, for most of the day, 
they are forced to indulge in sleep, just like those animals hiding from the sun 
(Solifugae). Therefore, in the same city there are Antipodes, men who live a life that is 
contrary to that of others.’  
Ramazzini, 1713: De Morbis Artificum Diatriba.
