What I've Been Working On: Android Neanderthals of the Future and Ebu Gogo Stories from Flores for #PitDark, #QueryKombat, #writementor, and Writers of the Future
There's a bunch of contests pertinent to my work with deadlines at the end of this quarter, so I've been a bit too busy to blog!
I've a few interesting posts to make on the research it took to write these stories coming soon, but today I just wanted to share a few cool articles I found in my digging. Some hail from years ago, and some released in the last few weeks...but I'm sure fans of all things prehistoric will appreciate them:
Small-Bodied Humans from Palau, Micronesia
They weren't entirely homo sapien, despite popular TV series claiming otherwise. And they lived at the same time as the Romans.
We Have ‘Eyes In The Back Of The Head,’ Study Shows
Shamans and mystics have told us for thousands of years that the 6th sense is real. A journalist proved it in the 90s on a documentary about staring, and some say Rupert Sheldrake did the same with his studies on dogs and mice. Someone's proven it again, but will western consensus listen?
Minangkabau People
The Minangkabau people are fascinating, and their myths helped to resolve my current novel.
Humans today are more homogenous looking than our ancestors
This article ties in nicely with an interesting discussion I had with John Hawks on Reddit's "Ask Me Anything" last week. I'll post a summary later!
