Good Evening All from warm, if cloudy Florida.

On November 22, 1963 -- I was 7 years old. I remember seeing 'a bad man shot on TV' which would have been Oswald. I assume that I saw the actual event, but don't know how much they replayed it.

Frontal Lobes and brain development. for milliena girls have become mothers well before the age of 21 [and multiple times]. And the young men warriors. You can say all you want about 'it takes a village' but brain development doesn't have much to do with anything at one time in our history. Not when the average life expectancy was in the mid-thirties. For most of history the bulk of the population had non-functioning brains [unconnected frontal lobes] which is probably why history is the way it was.

A mild, maybe connected, digression. Most of the girls were married off to older men [i.e. proven survivors and maybe even having a functional brain]. Many cultures didn't even think men should marry until a older [functional brain] age. So is that an evolutionary aspect -- did all these girls marrying older men promote later functional brain development and thus pass those genes on to their offspring? Did that cause the later brain development to even take longer, since early brain development was selected for? Was this good or bad? Maybe the expanded brains we humans have is due to long brain development time.

DON'T TRUST ANYONE UNDER TWENTYFIVE.

[I picked 25 because that is the age that car insurance companies generally start lower rates for the good male drivers.]

TOTALLY DIFFERENT -- was in the line at the grocery store and briefly passed my eyes over the celebrity/tabloid mags. And had to to back and read one. I thought it said Bertram Russel and couldn't believe it [it was actually 'betrayed Russel'].

Found on the NEW SHELVES at the library today the latest #1 Detective Agency book.
