Since I’m focusing at the moment on very ancient history, or rather early prehistory, a coupld of interesting news items:
* National Geographic has done its very serious best to gaze into the face of a Neanderthal woman. (And yes I think you could dress her in modern clothing and give her a haircut and no one would notice.)
* And in northern Australia, a 15,000-year-old, continuously maintained “cathedral” has been (re)discovered.
