MISS LUCY AND MISTER HOMO

















In my eighth-grade art class I made a sculpture that resembled these recently found skulls.
Especially the full cranial reconstruction (on the right).

My mother thought I was Picasso or Rodin (I'm not sure she knew who Rodin was).

She loved my ugly, little sculpture that was supposed to be a self-portrait.
I think she discarded all my personal things except this one little sculpture.
Archaeologists will have to do some digging to find out where it is now.

Man's itch to find out his origins (and his rib-mate woman's origins) is never-ending.
I don't have this particular psoriasis.
I am more concerned with modern man and his existence right now---which seems more and more precarious.

Who really needs to know about Neanderthals or the evolution of Homo Sapiens when we have our Netflix and YouTube?



IT'S ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES AND OLD BONES
