Oddly modern Staffordshire was mined in 18th Cent Uk for clay and coal, yielding prehistoic fossils before they were understood geologically. Local potters whimsically used the fossils as motifs for teapots. - NY Met

More Sapiens revelations in new study of ancient S. African population. A lot of variance between this long-isolated group and modern humans concerns "brain growth trajectories and complex cognitive trait phenotypes." How many isolated populations were there? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

You can go to Tanzania today and see (pastoral culture) Maasai women swinging pickaxes alone in steep gigantic quarries, for stone to build their walls and homes. There’s one in this photo from July 2025.

Amazing primate trip coming to a close in Tanzania / Rwanda - chimps, olive baboons, vervets, blue, colobus, golden monkeys, and gorillas. And got a tour from Jane Goodall of her dream museum in Arusha (stained glass). Jane’s old pal Anthony Collins was no less brilliant and inspiring.
