This blog offers images, text, questions, and other forms of inquiry and discovery as a way in which our friends might learn about the fascinating African country of Swaziland. The study of material culture, that is, anything made or shaped by humans, is our chosen method of investigation. And, because James will be with us this time around, it is also about human evolution.

Pliny the Elder
Read more about this in the attached article from National Geographic, which highlights the work of two professors from our local university (and our alma mater) Southern Connecticut State University. Professors Harvey Feinberg and Joseph Solodow traced the origins of this ancient phrase back more than 2,000 years!
