BECOMING HUMAN

Can we say the Homo neanderthalensis was an extinguished race like it could be a koala?
Homo neanderthalensis are archaic humans that lived in the East of Europe between 150,000 and 30,000 years ago. They could be a geographic variant of early Homo sapiens but with some differences: they had a very large brain size, big face and short of stature.

We don’t know what happen to them but many believe that they extinguished without contributing in our evolution. The reason is that some investigator who studied the DNA of four species of Neanderthal discovered that Homo neanderthalensis was different than the huma species.

We can conclude that this species was one of the most intelligent in that time because the brains began to increase in size when a hominid began to eat meat (We must not forget that to eat meat increases the intelligence) and Homo neanderthalensis was one of the first ones in eating meat!

Love in the 21st Century

Love doesn’t change. Nowadays, love is like the same love of years and years ago. The only thing that is changing day after day is the people of our society.

We can love our husband, wife, boyfriend…This is the “real love”. The process to get it is exiting because you have to fall in love and it’s always wonderful although it bears certain suffering without which it would not be the same thing. Then the fondness always stays. This love has always been the same but with one more component: the freedom to choose the sexuality.

We can love our friends, our relatives, our pets…It’s “the love to the neighbour”. This kind of love is inside us because we sometimes can't choose with whom to share it. It comes to you: the friends appear in our life at school, at work,…If you decide to have a dog, you love it, and you don’t choose this feeling. And I think I haven’t to say anything about the relatives… This love has always been the same but without one component: we haven’t got enough time to spend on this kind of love.

Finally, we can found the “self-esteem”. The self-esteem is necessary to feel well, to be safe… without it we would not be capable of loving the others. This love has always been the same but nowadays our society tries to improve it with superficial solutions like plastic surgery.

We can find more types which move around these concepts but unfortunately we know an egoist feeling: “the love towards the material things”. The more we have the more we want. It’s a strong love for having money, power, properties…but if you think about it, you realise the material love helps to reach others kinds of love. It takes part of all the loves…like always?

Good morning! 04/04/2007

Good morning!
Today I begin my Easter holidays. I’m very happy because I’m going to go to Madrid to visit my sister and her two daughters. For this reason I’d like to show you my nephews. I adore them. On the right we can see Serina and on the left Georgina:

They are three months old!

I hope we can visit a lot of places in Madrid.
I wish you nice days!
