Monday mornings I'll be meeting you at the Astoria Senior Center, for Bio-Anthropology's third and final term.  My sincere thanks to all who've attended, so far.  It's been a delightful indulgence for me to wallow in this massive subject & share it with so many of our equally inquisitive members.  But we're not done yet.  We'll continue to puzzle over the evolution of early hominins, sort through more bones, teeth, tools, and taxonomy till our eyes glaze over, try to gain an ever expanding comprehension of how the past influences the present, and what the future might hold for our exceedingly (reproductively) successful species.  Then, the first week in June, we're hoping to venture forth to the Primate Center near Portland to check out their research facilities & see what other primates, besides ourselves, look like close up.  We welcome all who find this sort of thing appealing.

[We'll be using the Sixth Edition of Michael Alan Park's new book and its Introductory Reader. The study of this subject is a new challenge for me, as well, so I expect we'll all get a good dip in the evolving stream of life-sciences by the time we're done.]
