Here's a first and last -- a GGG digest ping message about someone who is historic, but isn't ready to be history just yet.
And this photo link is to a topic based on something in the freakin' Daily Beast! Never saw that coming!

I looked up the weather for 50K years ago and it was generally a touch cooler than today, but close.

By around 60,000-55,000 years ago, conditions around the world had become warmer, though still generally colder than today. The ice melted back partially, and there followed a long ‘middling’ phase in which the climate oscillated between warmer and colder conditions, often in sudden jumps. During some parts of this phase, conditions in the tropics may have been moister than they are at present, and at other times they were drier. Generally, the mid-latitude zones seem to have been drier than present, with cold steppe and wooded steppe instead of forests.
