“Stone Age Figurine Has Contentious Origins” and other links…
Science News: “Conard says that his discovery, reported in the May 14 Nature, demonstrates that artistic renditions of the human form, called figurative art, originated in Europe between 35,000 and 40,000 years ago. That’s thousands of years before most researchers had thought, during a time so close to initial European settlement that newcomers would have had to rapidly invent such cultural advances or import them from Africa.”
“How Neanderthals met a grisly fate: devoured by humans”
Robin McKie: “The idea will provoke considerable opposition from scientists who believe Neanderthals disappeared for reasons that did not involve violence. Neanderthals were a sturdy species who evolved in Europe 300,000 years ago, made complex stone tools and survived several ice ages before they disappeared 30,000 years ago - just as modern human beings arrived in Europe from Africa.”
“8-Circuit Model of Consciousness”
Wikipedia.org: “Leary constructed the model based on the lateralization of brain function. The first four levels, which Leary presumed to reside in the left lobe of the cerebrum, are concerned with the survival of organisms on earth; the other four, which Leary suggested are found in the right lobe, are for use in the future evolution of humans, and remain dormant in the majority of human beings.” This model was referenced by Dr. Jewell Pookrum in a YouTube.com video about melanin.

“I recently issued a clarification of remarks that I made on the Egyptian television show El Beit Beitak regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I made this statement after my comments were interpreted by some as anti-Semitic, even though I absolutely did not mean them to be. Since this time, some members of the online community have raised concerns about several phrases from an article that I published in El-Sharq El-Aswat in January. These phrases have been similarly misinterpreted, so I would like to take this opportunity to make an additional statement further clarifying my position.”
