From THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE:
Fur is a controversial fashion statement these days. But stepping out in a wildcat cape or jackal wrap
was de rigueur for Pleistocene humans, according to the recent discovery of a 120,000-year-old leather and fur production site that contains some of the oldest archaeological evidence for human clothing.
Homo sapiens at the site first made and wore clothes around the onset of an Ice Age, which may suggest that, even in relatively mild Morocco, clothes were adopted as a way to keep warm.
REMEMBER, these revelations are not new:
But the invention of animal-based apparel also corresponds with the appearance of personal adornments, like shell beads, which hints that prehistoric clothing, like today’s styles, could have been about style as well as functionality.

A SON IS BORN
In a family of mostly girls
his sister Sarah was 2 years older
I didn't even ask at the hospital
if the new baby were a boy or a girl
and when I was telling my sister Donna
I'd had a boy, she passed out over the phone
This boy was not Pinocchio created by Gepetto
or the clown Victor Borge in tie and tails
and fall-me-down ways
but he was my son - spelled S-O-N and named
by me and his dad Daniel
Daniel Paul Deming.
A nice ring to it, wouldn't you say?
Like a faithful tree he has grown
with his family and brings me, his mother,
a spicy quesadilla with its own sauce which
resembles toothpaste but is not
We sit on the backyard steps
rough but warm
he wears a safari hat
and we think about things
to talk about
then leave for a walk
around the block
his idea.
Ruth Z Deming, MGPGP, founder/director
