Denisovans, Another "Grandparent"

In previous articles we have discussed our connection to Neanderthals and how their public image, little by little, is improving . If you follow the news you will have heard a lot recently about a new member of our human family. Today we are going to introduce you to that new ancestor of ours, the Denisovans. Denisova Cave, Siberia In a remote part of Siberia, the Denisova Cave, in the Altai mountains, remains of human habitation going back thousands of years was discovered. Since the initial discovery, research has continued right up to present day. The first amazing discovery that the cave yielded was the finger bone of a child, later determined to probably be female, her mtDNA was distinctly different from modern man and Neanderthal, however it also revealed that a common ancient ancestor was shared with Neanderthal. More recent finds revealed not only interbreeding between Neanderthal and Denisovans, but also included an unknown human ancestor as well. Based on finds,...

From Giza to Gobekli Tepe

One of the things that interest me most and inspires me to learn more and read more and research more are the enigmas around us. Those pieces of the puzzle of our story that don't fit nicely where we are told that they should fit and the pieces that are sitting off to the side cause the 'experts' are not quite sure what to do with them, they cannot deny them, but there is no room for them in their solid unbending version of history. Our story should never be set in stone, it should be allowed to grow and change and shift as we learn more and more about where we come from and how we got where we are.

So we should never judge as if we have or know it all. One of the most illustrious examples of this...

The (A) History Of Witches

The origins or history or witches is very much dependent on the researchers definition of just what a witch is. That might seem absurd, everyone knows what a witch is, most dictionaries define one as "a woman thought to have magic powers, especially evil ones, popularly depicted as wearing a black cloak and pointed hat and flying on a broomstick." (See the clip art image on the left) However, if you ask an individual that identifies as a witch or several, you are likely to get more definitions than you ever imagined existed. Thus, with so many modern ideas and concepts of a witch, it is easy to see how a researcher's journey might actually wander 'off-course' in the search for the "fist witch" or the "origin of the witch." Let us explore some of the journeys of academic witch-hunters. In modern translations of The Bible, in English, Exodus mentions witches; Ch. 22:18 " Thou shall not suffer a witch to live. " (KJV) There are o...
