21 million years of kissing (BBC News)
![]() |
| Nazi Nordic ideal of naked apes (Klaus/Barbie) |
The first ever recorded kiss [discovered so far] happened 4,500 years ago, scientists suggest after discovering evidence that puts the event 1,000 years earlier than previously thought. A study published in the journal Science points to evidence of kissing in the ancient Middle East, in early Mesopotamian societies, documented in ancient texts from 2,500 BCE.

- Ah, romance, it will be the death of us, dragging out our time in samsara (the "Continued Wandering On" of death and rebirth, chasing pleasure first here then there always in search of fulfillment that cannot be found in things.)
- Does this mean we're breaking up? 😭
Kissing?
(BBC via MSN) Humans do it, monkeys do it, even polar bears do it. And now researchers have reconstructed the evolutionary origins of kissing. Their study suggests that the mouth-on-mouth kiss evolved more than 21 million years ago, and was something that the common ancestor of humans and other great apes probably indulged in.
The same research concluded that Neanderthals may have kissed too – and that [modern] humans and Neanderthals may even have smooched one another. The scientists studied kissing because it presents something of an evolutionary puzzle -- it has no obvious survival or reproductive benefits. Yet, it is something that is seen not just in many human societies, but across the animal kingdom. More

Oldest art on Earth twice as old as Europe's
Borneo (/bore-nee-yo/) is the third-largest island in the world, with an area of 288,869 square miles (748,168 km2) and a population of 23,053,723 (2020 national censuses) [1, 2, 3]. Situated at the geographic center of Maritime Southeast Asia, it is one of the Greater Sunda Islands, located north of Java, west of Sulawesi, and east of Sumatra. The island is crossed by the equator, which divides it roughly in half. More
CAVES: Borneo has significant cave systems. In Sarawak, the Clearwater Cave has one of the world's longest underground rivers while Deer Cave is home to over three million bats, with guano accumulated to over 330 feet (100 meters) deep [28]. The Gomantong Caves in Sabah have been dubbed the "Cockroach Caves" due to the presence of millions of cockroaches inside [29, 30]. The Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak and Sangkulirang-Mangkalihat Karst in East Kalimantan have karst areas that contain thousands of smaller caves [31].

Mexico's lost cities: Maya of Mesoamerica
The rainforest (jungle) is full of cities we couldn’t see

| Maya Temple of the Masks, Tikal, Guatemala |
In areas like Tikal, Guatemala, and Caracol, Belize, laser data has uncovered extensive networks of American pyramids, roads, canals, and residential compounds, expanding estimates of Maya population and urban sprawl.

While much of the region still remains unscanned, the new technology is already reshaping what counts as a “site” and how we interpret the scale of the massive Maya civilization of Mexico and neighboring countries.

This Howtown video explains how mapping methods have evolved over time, allowing archeologists to see and analyze ancient cities like Tikal, Guatemala. Even after a century of study, there remains so much to be uncovered by airborne LiDAR. It’s an incredible example of how advances in physics and engineering can supercharge other fields in ways that couldn’t have been anticipated.

'Aztecs' = Mexica of Aztlan/Atlantis
![]() |
| Arrival from Atlantis (Codex Boturini, Aztlán) |
Aztec mythology and the origins of humanity | Fate and Fabled
The history is complicated, but the name Aztecs was popularized by a German explorer in the 1800s to describe the powerful Mesoamerican empire. Nahua culture is richly complex, with stories that reflect and explain the sometimes-confusing duality of nature. Beyond mythology, the Nahua had an interesting political structure, impressive agricultural system, and TWO calendars. Yet, most people these days do not even know them by their real name, the Mexica (source of the name Mexico).
Hosted by Dr. Moiya McTier and Dr. Emily Zarka, FATE & FABLED explores the stories and characters of mythologies from all around the world -- why they came to be and how they impact us still today.

Oldest Native American footage ever
Oldest Native American footage ever
(Yestervid) Oct. 28, 2015: This is a rare, amazing, and heartfelt tribute to Native American tribes. This footage dates back to 1895 or 1894, with rare vintage audio recording of American Indian music.
This is forgotten American history and includes the oldest known clip of Native Americans on film, a clip of Sioux tribe members performing the "Buffalo Dance" at Thomas Edison's Black Maria Studio in New Jersey.
The "Ghost Dance" film was created on the same day, September 24, 1895. Other films featured include Hopi tribe members greeting TR and clips from the Chicago World's Fair of 1933.
It shows three Native American feature films: White Fawn's Devotion, The Invaders, and Last of the Mohicans. White Fawn's Devotion was the earliest film directed by a Native American, whose name was James Young Deer.
The old audio clip was recorded in 1895 by Alice Cunningham and Francis La Flesche. The dance song is "He'dewachi," and it is traditionally played at ceremonies that celebrate warriors.
Please enjoy and share! Philámayaye! (Lakota for "thank you"). See more great videos like this on the channel: Yestervid (yestervid.com), Facebook: yestervid, X/Twitter: yestervid.
Oldest Native American drumming video ever
(Afrodrumming) July 24, 2012: Old, rare footage of Native American drumming from 1894 in a tribute to our American Indian brothers and sisters.
Big thanks to all the musicians who provided their talents: The Hopi tribe of Arizona, Kerri Lake, Ephemeral Rift, and Kevin MacLeod.
For more on Afrodrumming, see: afrodrumming.com. The album African Drumming is available as a CD or for immediate download here: afrodrumming.com/store for all anyone needs to know about the djembe and African drumming.

Primordial love/sex drive (Helen Fisher)
There are many kinds of attachment (upadana). The pursuit and clinging to sensual pleasures is very strong (although the strongest is probably attachment to views). It can be as strong as thirst (tanha). It serves a function, not for us who suffer it so much as the species or genes that perpetuate themselves into the future. (See The Selfish Gene on the scientific view of the impersonal nature of biology).
Love (the affection for clinging) is a drive, sex (the affection for pleasure) is a drive, and they are very powerful. What hope is there to overcome or undo them should they start to spread all out of control like fire and ruin our lives, bringing waves of torment and suffering? Things are all well and good when they are working out, but when they are not?
When things sour, then what? These are not conscious processes we have very much insight on. We live on autopilot, and they "happen" to us. Maybe that's okay for most people. But for those who would be free and make an end of all suffering in this very life?

Going Native: 10 Essential Travel Tips

10 Essential Tips for Immersing Yourself in Native American Culture
![]() |
| Pow wow ritual dancing |
From the ancient cliff dwellings of the Southwest to the vibrant pow-wows of the Great Plains, each destination provides a unique insight into the resilience and creativity of American-Indian communities.
Spanning parts of Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico, the Navajo Nation is the largest Native American territory in the United States, offering an insight into Navajo (Dine) culture, history, and landscape.
Visitors can explore Monument Valley’s iconic sandstone buttes, experience the spiritual beauty of Canyon de Chelly, and learn about traditional Navajo crafts, such as weaving and silverwork, at the Navajo Nation Museum.
The Navajo people’s deep connection to the land is evident in their art, ceremonies, and way of life, providing a profound experience for those who seek to understand their culture.
Part of the Smithsonian Institution [a collection of organizations that seem more interested in burying and hiding discoveries rather than featuring them], The National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., is dedicated to preserving, studying, and exhibiting the life, languages, literature, history, and arts of Native Americans.

Scientists rediscover human groups that were thought to have died out decades ago
![]() |
| OMG, these tribal Africans are so beautiful! |
When a number of languages died out in southern Africa's Namib Desert, anthropologists feared that the populations that spoke them had gone, too. However, experts have now discovered that the genetic identity of these groups may have been maintained, even without their native tongue.
"We were able to locate groups which were once thought to have disappeared more than 50 years ago," Dr. Jorge Rocha of the University of Porto said in a statement. One of these groups is the Kwepe, who used to speak Kwadi.
The disappearance of the language was thought to mark the end of their separation from neighboring populations. Dr. Ann-Maria Fehn of the Centro de Investigação em Biodiversidade e Recursos Genéticos said:
"Kwadi was a click language that shared a common ancestor with the Khoe languages spoken by foragers and herders across Southern Africa."
The team managed to find the descendants of those who spoke Kwadi and discovered that they had retained their genetic distinctiveness that traces back to a time before Bantu-speaking farmers moved into the area. More: Scientists rediscover human groups that were thought to have died out decades ago
