Except, the naked fellow could well be a 'Jason' seeing as the pelt over his shoulder might be sheep of the scrawny mountain munching type that Sicily is accustomed to. The sculpted guy looks rather disconsolate (yes, just like Narcissus ogling himself in a reflective puddle) although, as the fable goes, when said Jason grabbed the Golden Fleece (whether of scrawny sheep or goat) the fleece's pure gold monetarist attribute faded. Jason found he had in his pecuniary grasp after all his trials and tribulations a near worthless smelly sheep or goatskin. I reckon this bronzed guy should be renamed "Jason". Regard the sad languid stance with figure's glance to earth and at the counterpointed finger pointing skyward. Might this indicate a moral of base earth where humanity needs to look to gaining the high ideal of an Olympian heaven?

Re: The Missing Link

While doing my undergraduate work at the University Of Minnesota. The question came up and there was talk about “The Missing Link”. None had been found and None will be found. the missing Link is – US !. This is correct, it hound on me – What happened to the different SPECIES along the way. One of the species must have had to suvive in order to the line in the Anthropological record continuo. From The Genus PARANTHROPUS, to AUTRALOPITHECUS, to SAPIEN AND THEN HOMINID.

Presently, I am doing work on the different BIPEDAL SPECIES that are neither of the above Genuses – An example METHANE, BACTERIAL, VIRUSES (although they are not a species because they were created – There exist are Bipedal forms), SIMIAN and many others.

]]> Comment on If Vampire Weekend Spent Some Time in Africa… by smile kenya http://penn.museum/blog/museum/3017/comment-page-1/#comment-2410 smile kenya Fri, 06 Jan 2012 06:13:21 +0000 http://penn.museum/blog/?p=3017#comment-2410 The 2009 article is very entertaining. This is what has really moved me:The pair DJ and create dance tunes together as Radioclit, as well as running a club night, Secousse (it means "shake" in French) devoted to street sounds from everywhere, whether that's rockabilly from Brazil, dabke from the Middle East, or bubu from Sierra Leone. They both defer to Esau, partly because, at 34, he's a bit older, and also because, given that he is tall and straight-backed, smiley and never shy of holding eye contact, it's hard not to. When he calmly explains that he was unconcerned by the cultural differences between east Africa and east London when he emigrated a decade ago because he "never gets afraid", it doesn't seem like the usual frontman's bravado...with all the way it's illustrated.
