Very busy, jam-packed week, but I took a few minutes to visit the faces of our grandparents and cousins – yours and mine.
I just love these reconstructions. Even though all of it is science’s educated guess, it’s fascinating to get a glimpse of what the people living on this planet 100,000 years ago might have looked like.
Plus, those vacant eyes give it a pleasant eeriness, don’t ya think?

Hello! And a Happy Halloween and Samhain to you!
Those are our jack-o-lanterns up there… I always seem to make mine with very vacant eyes. Going to try something a bit less, um, dull next year. The hubs wanted to carve a pacifier into Iris’ wee pumpkin, but that’s a lot to tackle at 2am. His, on the other hand, are always adorable.
As it is sciencey/practical Wednesday, I peeked at Reddit’s headlines to bring you the following links:
Vertebrates and the Evolution of Air Breathing
An Explosion of Humans – with the Funk of 40,000 Years (a little something extra for you)
I hope you have a wonderful, spooky and safe Halloween!
I am a huge history nerd.
And I’m probably the type that serious history scholars get annoyed with. I love the outfits and the music, the burly men and demure women, the elaborate decor and flowery speech.
I love vikings and tapestry.
