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.

Ex Africa semper aliquid novi
There is always something new out of Africa.
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!

I recognise Jamie and "friend" but what is that large bug creature? Some sort of beetle?
Sorry,
I do not know what species of bettle it is. We just saw it on the sidewalk in front of the museum on the way to the parking lot. It is most likely related to a rhinoceros beetle because the one in the photo also has a horn-like projection on its head.
