Today was very, very interesting. I attended a seminar for teachers at the Houston Museam of Natural Science hosted by the Center for the America Idea. While most of the day was spent listening to interesting lectures by noted historians, the highlight of the seminar was a visit to the "Legacy of Lucy" exhibit.
If you don't know who Lucy is, or was, she is one of the oldest known hominid fossils. It is noted for being the most complete skeleton of a creature known as australopithecus afarensis that lived app. 3.2 million years ago.
That's right-- 3.2 million years ago. There is something awe-inspiring about looking at bones from a creature that lived that long ago.
Makes my 39 years a pittance in comparison...
