I am immersed in my Anthropology class, and I have to say it is fascinating stuff. The most interesting of which is Darwin's, Evolutionary Psychology. If 99% of the human race has been spent as foraging peoples, gathering, hunting, and finding mates, what a strange world our ancestors would find themselves in today!  In the blink of an eye---we’ve had the Industrial age, the invention of the plow, and especially our recent Technological age that has morphed us into another realm. Our Stone Age brains circuitry is suddenly thrust in a science fiction time. And what about Aliens from outer space?  Perhaps we are the Aliens, and "Danger Will Robinson" is among us.

Recent news of, "Human remains found in a 1,400-year-old Chinese tomb belonged to a man of European origin, DNA evidence shows." will likely prompt speculation, from whence did we come? The ozone layer with its big gaping hole in the sky will surely melt more than a few solar ice caps. Will we find something buried beneath the ice frozen in time?

National Geographic is one of the sponsers of the Genographic Study  which will surely be the great link- up. For a mere $100 anyone can be apart of it. I will definitely participate and will be sure to post my findings! The intensive 5-year plan to map our migratory patterns will be the human race’s ancestral tree. The creationists will be all in a tizzy to know that Adam and Eve were not lily white, but were black and originate from Africa.

      Geneologists recently discovered that around 1.7 million years ago, our ancestors switched from a patrilocal hierarchical society, similar to those employed by the apes, to a system that revolved around the male-female bond.

      Thus the seeds of civilization were strewn. And romance...
