In fact, early sapien may have been different from the more recent version. We know that there was a great leap forward about 100,000 years ago when culture possibly related to language exploded. this probably was the result of some change in the human brain. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
