What prehistoric art tells us about the evolution of the human brain.
By Katy Waldman
Everyone answers the question “What makes humans
human?” in her own way, but if you were ever a liberal arts
student, you might have to resist the urge to roll your eyes and
reply, “The humanities.” Maybe you’d get more speci!c, quoting
the critic Haldane McFall: "That man who is without the arts is
little above the beasts of the !eld."
OK, so you’d be pretty pretentious, but would you be wrong?
Not really. Paleontologists tend to link the development of
modern human cognition to the rise of our ability to express
ourselves as artists and historians through cave painting,
sculptures, and other prehistoric art. Representing the world in
symbols may have heralded the beginnings of language.
Creating paint from charcoal, iron-rich ochre, crumbled animal
bones, and urine meant understanding how materials could
combine to form substances with new properties. Storing the paint—perhaps in an abalone shell that would be discovered 100,000 years later in a
cavern on the South African coast—required innovation and planning ahead.
Since at least the 1970s, the question of when we !rst acquired our humanness has been tangled up in discoveries about when we began making art.
Richard Klein at Stanford used carvings such as the 30,000-year-old Lion Man of Hohlenstein Stadel to substantiate his theory that a genetic mutation
caused a sudden mental "owering in our ancestors 40,000 years ago. (Homo sapiens have been around for 200,000 years, but apparently they spent
much of that time twiddling their opposable thumbs.) Yet in 1991, the excavation of 77,000-year-old beads and engraved shards of red ochre in South
Africa upended Klein’s hypothesis. It suggested that symbolic thinking had emerged much earlier than anyone had thought—maybe even at the same
time that our modern bodies evolved. The notion of a game-changing genetic mutation fell out of fashion as older and older artifacts were uncovered.
By 2012, Curtis Marean, a paleoanthropologist at Arizona State University, was voicing conventional wisdom when he told Smithsonian’s Erin Wayman:
“It always made sense that the origins of modern human behavior, the full assembly of modern uniqueness, had to occur at the origin point of the
lineage.”
It seems likely that our brains have been equipped for abstraction for as long as we have been human. But how does prehistoric art help us understand
this capacity—which today asserts itself everywhere from the walls of MoMA to the icons on our smartphones? The images in the Lascaux, Nerja, and
Chauvet caverns look far from hyperrealistic. One simple explanation holds that our ancestors didn’t have the time or skill to render horses and cattle
exactly as they appeared. Yet researchers in neuroaesthetics are beginning to wonder whether the abstraction in Paleolithic art actual.

English Verbs + Prepositions DictionaryAlicia Garcia
Why study verbs + prepositions?
Prepositions are one of the most difficult things to master in the English language. They provide the “links” between the main words (nouns, verbs, and adjectives), but many English students have a hard time knowing which preposition to use in each situation.
How the world's first subway system was built Alicia Garcia
It was the dawn of 1863, and London's not-yet-opened subway system — the first of its kind in the world — had the city in an uproar. Most people thought the project, which cost more than 100 million dollars in today's money, would never work. So how did they do it? Christian Wolmar explains how the London Underground was built at a time when no one had built a railway under a city before.

In tropical seas, flying fish leap out of the water, gliding for up to 200 meters, before dipping back into the sea. In the Indo-Pacific, a hunting sailfish swims up to 110 kilometers per hour. These feats are made possible by a fish’s form—which in most species is a smooth, long body, fins, and a tail. Lauren Sallan explains why these features are so common, and what it reveals about fish.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Shooting at a Church in Texas; A Sign of Resilience in New York; Use of
Modern Technology to Study Ancient History
Aired November 6, 2017 - 04:00 ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM
AND MAY BE UPDATED.
CARL AZUZ, CNN 10 ANCHOR: I`m Carl Azuz for CNN 10.
Our coverage this week starts with a tragedy at a small church in a small American
community. About 30 miles outside of San Antonio, Texas, is a place named
Sutherland Springs.
Yesterday, during service at the First Baptist Church, police say a man entered the
building and started shooting. A county sheriff says more than 20 people were killed,
numerous others were injured, though we didn`t know the exact the number when we
produced today`s show. At least two medical facilities were treating victims of the
shooting.
There was a chase (pursuit) after the attack. The suspect apparently fled into a
neighboring county where he also died. Officials were trying to find out if he took his
own life or if he was killed by police, in addition to what his motive might have been.
A business owner in Sutherland Springs says it`s a very small but very tightly knit
(closely integrated and bound in love or friendship) community. And U.S.
leaders from President Donald Trump to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, to Senator
John Cornyn who serves Texas indicated they were praying for the people affected.
Five days after a terroristic attack in New York City, there was a sign of resilience
(resistance) yesterday when 50,000 runners were expected to hit the road (start
the journey) in the TCS New York City Marathon. City and state officials had
promised the event would be safe, following an attack on October 31st that killed
eight people in the borough (municipality) of Manhattan. That was the worst
terrorist act in New York City since it was a target on September 11th, 2001.
For Sunday`s race, the city lined (covered) the roadways with sand trucks and police
vehicles to protect pedestrians. Two and a half million spectators were expected and
of those who took on the 26-mile challenge, one said she couldn`t live her life afraid
2. that something like a terrorist attack could happen. The threat couldn`t stop her
from accomplishing (reaching) her goal to run. Some other runners that CNN spoke
to gave a similar message.

AZUZ (voice-over): Ten-second trivia:
Which of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is the oldest?
Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Colossus of Rhodes, State of Zeus at Olympia, Great
Pyramid of Giza?
The Great Pyramid isn`t only the oldest, it`s the only Wonder in the Ancient World
that is still mostly intact.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
AZUZ: Researchers recently discovered a void (an empty space) in the Great
Pyramid they hadn`t known about before. By void, we mean a space that`s almost 100
feet long. The journal "Nature" which details the finding says this is the first time
since the 1800s that a space this significant has been identified in the pyramid. But
whether it adds to the structure`s mysteries or answers ancient secrets is up for
debate.
A spokesman for Egypt`s government says there`s no evidence that suggests this
space lives to an undiscovered gallery or burial chamber. And archeologists point out
that the pyramid has other voids, so this could just be one that hadn`t been found
yet. Still, there are a lot of unanswered questions about the Great Pyramid, and
researchers hope this discovery will help them learn how it was built.
They`re not allowed to drill (perforate) holes or use cameras. To identify this void,
they used equipment to track (monitor) cosmic ray particles inside the structure.
But that`s not the only way in which modern technology is helping archeologists study
ancient history.

UNDIENTIFIED MALE: The magic is seeing this with candlelight.
REPORTER: Adam Lowe freely admits he is a man with an obsession -- to document
3. the tomb of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, Seti I.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The tomb actually tells how the people from 3,500 years ago
think different things, have different philosophies, value different things, the way
they thought can be read through the very articulate evidence that`s on the walls of
these tombs.
And if we can really build a dialogue that crosses time and use technology to help
that, I think we`re at incredibly exciting moment.
REPORTER: Just a room you think, but what a room known among Egyptologists as
"Hall of Beauties". What`s just as astonishing is that this is in fact a facsimile
(reproduction), a precise recreation in the museum in Switzerland of how the room
looked exactly 200 years ago when the tomb was discovered.
Adam Lowe`s specialist art company Factum Arte has made tomb facsimiles before.
They scanned the tomb of Tutankhamun in 2009 and made a replica now installed as a
tourist attraction in Egypt. The same methods were used for Seti`s tomb.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We`re now making high resolutions molds using 3D printing
technologies, from laser scan data that have never involved any contact with wall.
REPORTER: No contact at all?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Zero contact at any point in any of the operation.
REPORTER: The Seti replica was meld (blended, merged) in the Factum Arte
workshop in Madrid and a fine flexible skin added with the print after the frescos.
The facsimile was assembled in panels.
Seti`s tomb was discovered in 1817 by an Italian circus strongman (male
bodybuilder, muscleman), an adventure known as the Great Belzoni. The vivid
decoration entranced (fascinated, delighted) him.
And as a record, a series of watercolors was painted. But soon, whole sections of the
wall were hacked off (cut off with an axe) as trophies. This fragment ended up in
the British museum.
This original relief of the Goddess Maat with a feather headdress is from a museum
in Florence. The only way you can tell that she`s a real thing is because she`s under
protected glass. The copies aren`t.
4. This is what Seti`s tomb looks like now with virtual reality. It`s still absolutely
extraordinary, multiple rooms, and a descent of over 130 meters into the rock, still
the longest and deepest tomb in the Valley of the Kings. But now irreparably
damaged, once gloriously decorated, but now patchy (uneven in quality/despareja)
and in places almost entirely bleached (faded/desteñida) of color.
For this exhibition in Basel (Basilea), they made facsimiles of several rooms from
Seti`s tomb as they are now.
Aliyah Ishmael is the first Egyptian trained in the new digital technology used for
making the facsimiles. She spent four months scanning the tombs last year.
What was it like?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Being in the tomb. The first time was insane. It was just
magical, because, you know, the tomb of Seti I was close and nobody could have seen
it for about 40 years.
And then, all of a sudden, I get to go inside it. It was like, what? You know? It was
one of those like dreams come true sort of, for an Egyptologist.
When I entered her like the first time where I got to Basel and I was like, I feel like
I`m in tomb. The only difference is that there`s not enough dust. But apart from
that, it`s just the same feeling.
REPORTER: But arguably (it can be argued/discutiblemente), the high point of this
exhibition is the regeneration of the "Hall of Beauties", Seti with color back in his
cheeks, just as he was found way back in 1817.
This is resurrection.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: In a way, it is resurrection. Yes, absolutely. And this is
where without becoming Disneyland or Kitsch (of bad taste) or whatever, in
a scientific and well-informed way, the facsimile can prove this, what we say at this
added value can show more than what you can see in the tomb.
REPORTER: Adam Lowe will resume (continue) scanning other rooms in Seti`s tomb
earlier next year. The long-term aim is to make a facsimile of it all, and place it in the
Valley of the Kings.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And we have to remember, the Egyptians didn`t want these
tombs to change. They made them to last for eternity, but never to be visited.

AZUZ: Guinness World Record you probably didn`t know about, most people dressed
as penguins. It was set in the United Kingdom in 2015. At that time, 624 people did
this. But this isn`t that event. This one is bigger. It was held recently at Ohio`s
Youngstown State University, whose mascot is the Penguin. Nine hundred seventy-two
students and alumni somehow found 972 penguin costumes and hopped (jumped on
one leg) inside them.
They`re waiting for the official certification from Guinness, but if you ask us,
they`re already penguinners. Now, if that sounds fishy, it`s because I`ve used it
before and I wasn`t flighten (ph) to use it aguin.
We`re creeling (ph) the punguin game on CNN 10. Some might call us the kings of it,
even if others think they`re for the birds. I`m Carl Azuz.
