Good to see the UAF mentioned again. The Gov's budget includes funding the university budget 17% over what was requested, with the university now looking at expanding the curriculum. The anthro dept. has been active inside Alaska, and will no doubt gain some more in the new budget. The Geophysical Institute has been partly funded from international corporate funds and partly from Fed and State funds and is a significant scientific and academic institution for arctic studies worldwide.

The Egyptians have reverted to the stone age, IMHO.

These items often included doll-like female figurines with exaggerated sexual features, thought to possibly symbolize rebirth.

Symbolizing rebirth. Right. Or maybe it is used to symbolize fertility. Right.

How about they tell the truth for a change? Guys like to look at gals with big ones. It is no great mystery, it is not a big religious thing (well, for some it is). This is why Hooters is successful. Guys like curvy gals. That's it. No need for a doctoral thesis to figure it out.

"To the extent that Irish found variations among the teeth, he wrote, many of those that differered most from the norm came from upper-class tombs.

That, he added, suggests these nobles had become genetically somewhat apart, perhaps through inbreeding."

Or, maybe they were different people like the ruling Samurai in Japan.

Also, while the Badarians’ “artistic sense was not highly developed,”

Like we have room to talk...


"Picasso's portrait of his wartime
mistress Dora Maar, 'Bust of a Woman
Seated in a Chair,' 1939, sold for $4.7
million at Christie's auction of 20th
century art Tuesday. The painting
brought the second-highest price of
the night."
