Despite there being many myths and tales throughout history, eclipses have not been proven to physically affect humans or the human way of life outside of the usual effects of new and full moon such as the effect on the tides. However, there are the obvious effects such as a drop in temperature, light levels and the effect that this has on wildlife.
