HUMAN JOURNEY

Time contracts
I blinked and the future was already here
Life in brackets
Swamped by a much greater text
Science mines and searches
Antimacassar
Common ancestor
Mitochondrial mother
Embargoed newsflash unleashed to the world
It is after seven, isn't it?
Diverging evolutionary paths
Parallel strands of evidence
Culture accumulates drip by drip
Complex social networks
Ideas that stick in the consciousness
Archaeologist burrows inside the mind of the maker
How he built up his toolkit
The teardrop explodes
Primitive accountant scratches out a living
Ancient artists and musicians daub the caves with song
They say neanderthals taught the moderns to paint
Distracted journalist looks the other way
