says “Anything Goes”
APRIL 9, 2014 BY JANET CAMERON
Myth and science are often closely joined, and may reach similar
conclusions. This image is from a window display at the museum in
Banjul, The Gambia. Until quite recently, hunting was a closed circle
that played an important role in the interests of society. People
believed that hunters knew the secrets of the bush and forest and
were connected with spiritual and magical beasts. Copyright image by
