Come little one
Papa is ahead
They hunt sloth
Gigantic it saunters
Heavy frame sets
Muddy prints deep
The mud is sticky
My feet are tired
You are getting
Too big to carry
But please sissy
My feet hurt
Some day you
Will grow big
Hunt with papa
Run with uncle
Fell the sloth,
The mammoth
Have little ones
of your own, but
Not today, I will
carry you today

Ice Age footprints… There’s a lot we have yet to discover of our human past. Anatolia may not have been the first human cities, I remember reading somewhere once. The cultivation of wheat leaves a bigger historical trace than some other foodstuffs.

I find all of it interesting. It puts a lot of modern problems into context when you think that we really only understand what we did in the last couple thousand years, of 180,000 years of our species’ existence, but our ancestry goes back even further in a meaningful way.
