It's so important to get to the root of things. Thanks so much for your comment. :-)<br /><br />JeanmarieJeanmarie Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974232341270295299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-44690046883956395742012-02-22T14:48:56.508-06:002012-02-22T14:48:56.508-06:00Very interesting post, Jeanmarie!

You know, I remember in high school being so utterly bored with history (always taught by a coach who couldn't have cared less, and sat at his desk working on play diagrams for the big game next week) and when I got into college it was literally like a door opened for me. I had so many good history professors that it became my minor, and ALMOST made me switch my major to it rather than English. There are so many things to be learned yet! And one way to do this is to enoourage young people to want to question and find out about things, and not kill their interest in subjects. Great post.<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-8988227872285179782012-02-21T15:29:07.364-06:002012-02-21T15:29:07.364-06:00Carolyn,

Coyotes do look a little like wolves. :-) <br /><br />I'm always amazed that people in the past were able to survive the way they did. I imagine they were very aware of the animals around them in the wild and how they acted in response to the weather, the time of year, and other animals. No wonder archaeologists have found ancient calendars.Jeanmarie Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974232341270295299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-6617266757638503912012-02-21T15:22:46.567-06:002012-02-21T15:22:46.567-06:00Paty,

I made my best grades in college in zoology and English Lit. ;-) I should have studied more in zoology but I decided to get married instead and follow my dh to Germany. When I later went back to college I had to stop to have my only child, and she finished college and has the degrees. I've never stopped studying though, and find the biological and anthropological sciences fascinating. Every time something new and wonderful is discovered, I celebrate. :-)The Gault site in Texas is another wonderful discovery. <br /><br />A great romance story is also cause for celebration. :-) Wishing everyone many exciting romance stories.<br />*Hugs*<br />JeanmarieJeanmarie Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974232341270295299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-14465493947285603122012-02-20T19:06:35.353-06:002012-02-20T19:06:35.353-06:00Jeanmarie--you have touched on an inmportant fasci...Jeanmarie--you have touched on an inmportant fascinating topic for me. I am a biology major, and oh, how I loved evolution and geology, too. We humans today are so very ignorant of our biological past, that it astounds me. When I hear or read of information such as you tell us, I have goose-bumps, thinking this was real at one time in our distant past.<br />Yes, we should question, and question some more. Thank you so much for such an enlighteing topic.

Thanks you all for your comments and congrats and good wishes. :-)<br /><br />Sorry this is a blanket thanks, Vicki, Diana, Jane and Paisley, but I'm having problems reading the words that blogger has decided are necessary in order to comment. I hope you all didn't have as much trouble with it as I'm having. LOL Why blogger thinks we need to deal with an unreadable word in order to post is the question I have. <br />JeanmarieJeanmarie Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974232341270295299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-61986143622355211282012-02-20T13:32:14.559-06:002012-02-20T13:32:14.559-06:00Where do you come up with these great ideas, Jeanm...Where do you come up with these great ideas, Jeanmarie?
