Self Made Man by Jonathan Kingdon

  • can history be scientific?
    • we can use scientific measures in historical manners
  • is history fact?
    • Dates, names and locations can be factual
    • there will always be bias depending on who is relaying the history
    • history is based on experience
  • we are constantly learning about history, and the learning will be never ending since each present moment eventually becomes history
  • what history is the most important, recent history or the origins of mankind?
    • what can we learn most from?

____________________________________________________________________________
  • we come from a common ancestry--
  • spasms of sexual chemistry, that pass on their genes
  • everyone that has come before us had sex, eaten, lived
  • acknowledging those who came before us
  • sex as passing on a baton
