Nov 2015

trip escorted several years ago by Donald Johanson--the paleontologist who discovered Lucy--that followed
the history of Man in Africa. My husband has always been fascinated
by the evolutionary history of Man and he was thrilled both with getting to know Johanson
and his very small group of fellow travelers.

It's tough giving up fairy tales and myth written several thousand years ago by people
with limited knowledge and a definite agenda to empower ruling class men, demean women, and
keep slaves in their place.

This was the trip--although I notice it is no longer being offered.
