Sepehr presents interesting talks.
I noticed last week, some science/DNA group has come to some number of 125,000 to 135,000 years ago....that mother/father version 1.0 (modern man) went forth.
Saw the movie in ‘84 when the Reagan economy was booming. A young Robert Redford and a decent-looking Meryl Streep. All one could think of is when they down to business in the sack.
My real take: Notice the evening outdoor scenes where they enjoyed their gourmet meals with their wine? Black servants of course. It was a response to the times(80’s). Think yuppies living it up. In the book version the Robert Redford really got around. Still, both actors hated Reagan. Go figure.
Then there’s the guy who died of syphlis I believe. At his funeral the blacks remained behind the fence to display the lack of inclusiveness among the ‘colonizers’. And his black mistress whose eyes met Streeps for just a moment? A real knockout-international model who dressed up very well(western) for the(western)funeral.
That same year or so. Spielberg comes out with a hit-piece on black men-The Color Purple. It was more of a guilt trip than ‘Roots’.was on whites. We’re being played. Need I say more?
If we’re all Out-of-Africa, do we all get that California Reparations payment?
Or will Cori Bush deny us?
Anything out of Africa I worship! - the bongo drum, the spear, etc.
.
Their best and only inventions!
Ooooookay, we are supposed to believe that not only did species, including man, evolve, but that different types of humans capable of interbreeding evolved in different places at about the same time?
Wow, and people think I am crazy for not believing so many things in science (and less and less each day!).

(By Africa he meant what is now Tunisia)
Three wooden spears like this one were found at Schöningen, Germany, along with stone tools and the butchered remains of more than 10 horses. These spears are currently the oldest known wooden artifacts in the world. Wooden thrusting spear, Schöningen, Germany, about 400,000 years old.
That is a good book.
Did not enjoy that movie at all.
Plenty of panoramic scenery shots. Made us feel like we were on our own safari. Intermission. A lot went into the production. It was a must see movie at the time. Hindsight being 20-20 it might not have been a big deal to have missed it.
Me too! Scot Joplin, William Grant Still, Art Tatum, Duke Ellington, Jazz in general, my Ethiopian girlfriend...
