Neanderthals One
Most of the first things I noted about the Neanderthals
Neanderthals lived in Europe perhaps 400,000 years ago and may have been in that region more than twice that many years ago.
Neanderthals may have lived in Spain(Cidron) as recently as 49,000 years ago. They may have practiced cannibalism there as recently as 60,000 years ago.
Mysterian Neanderthals may have lived as recently as 28,000 thousand years ago.
It seems that many Neanderthals may have had red hair.
It seems that through important periods of time Neanderthals may have been fewer than "us." Nearly all of us are probably partly Neanderthal.
Dramatic climate changes and severe weather impacted us and Neanderthals. 49,000 years ago Neanderthals were a dying race.

Neanderthal Recalled
Mago Bill, archaeology: We have a lot more than Neanderthals now, but let's remember the neanderthal we know.
Neanderthals lived in Europe perhaps 400,000 years ago and may have been in that region more than twice that many years ago.

I'll write more abundantly about our old friends, our old cousins when ever you wish. Let me know in "comments" below. However, by searching the 60 posts on this blog you may find all you care to know waiting for you right here. By checking the info already here you may find more specific questions to ask me. Also you may be able to correct errors I have made or add new information yourself.

A Tiny Miscellany of Notes on Sources of Modern Russia
History With RCS, Russia: This is a tiny taste of that which we can learn
Eight tidbits:
~ Russians are greatly Slavic.
~ Varangian was a name given to Norse(Viking) who were active in the formation of the Kievan Rus.
~ Without Russians, the Allied forces may have lost WWII and WWI.
~There is strong evidence that modern humans were living on the banks of the Don by 35,000 BC.
~ There is good evidence that by 41,000 BC Denisovans and Neanderthals lived 'with' modern humans in Siberian Russia.
~ Tanis is an ancient name for the Don River.
~
Tanis was also the name of a city in the Don River delta on the sea of
Azov. Tanis was a city long before the Milesians Greeks founded a
trading center there in pre-Roman times.
~
It may be well to remember that Russians were exploring what are now
the US states of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and much of California
while others were exploring farther south in the name of the king of
Spain.
A curious homo sapien might find it interesting to check out online terms
Varangian, Kievan Rus, Don River, Denisovans, Tanis City, Alaska, Milesian, and well beyond; or not.
I
will write more when I know there is more interest. You can show your
interest in "comments" below. You can make corrections to the content of
this little post, ask questions there. If you do not want to be known,

Isis
History With RCS: Now and then it is what it is
Isis is an asset and a source of divine power from the Old Kingdom of Egypt. She is the first daughter of Geb* and Nut.
She married her brother Osiris who I know here in Colombia. The Moors knew Isis before they knew Spain. Ave Maria!
*Geb was first seen as a man, a man who cared for earth. His daughter and son later became highly venerated in ancient Egypt.
What has Isis become for us?
Should this piece be in Governance With RCS?

Revolting
History With RCS: Bonaparte had a good appreciation of the Republicanism of his day.
Napoleon
Bonaparte, a leading republican of Europe, was willing to become
Emperor of France. Republican France welcomed Napoleon as Emperor! There
may be a lesson or two to be learned from that bit of history.
Napoleon
did bring reforms to Europe in the fields of science, education and in a
variety of cultural areas. Those works of his could be called
republican.
The
legal system called the the Napoleonic Code influenced most of the
West and much of the East. It is extent in the U.S. state of Louisiana.
Napoleon
was a warrior, a leader of armies. Some say he won a war against
Russia. To attack Russia he left home with about a half a million men,
the largest army ever assembled in Europe until that time. He returned
home with about 20,000 men and "the shirt on his back."
He met his Waterloo in a battle against Prussia and GB in which Prussia saved Britain's bacon.
After
Waterloo Great Britain, Spain, Prussia, Russia, Austria and others
joined one another for suppressing liberal movements throughout Europe.
Lessons may begin with questions like:
Why do the histories of many revolutions seem revolting?
Why might a republican be willing to become an Emperor?
Why ought the citizens of a republic be responsible?
Where is your revolution headed?

A Leading Republican
Napoleon Bonaparte, a leading republican of his day, was willing to become Emperor of France. France welcomed him as Emperor. There may be a lesson to be learned from this bit of history.
Napoleon did bring reforms to Europe and beyond in the fields of science, education, and a variety of cultural areas. These works could be called republican.
The legal system called the Napoleonic Code, influenced much of Europe and a significant part of the rest of the World. Napoleonic law is an important part of the law of the U.S. state of Louisiana.
Napoleon was a warrior, a leader of armies. Some have said that he won a war against Russian. To attack Russia, he left home with about a half million men. He returned home with about 20,000 men and "the shirt on his back."
He met his "Waterloo" in a battle against Prussia and Britain. In that battle Prussia "saved Britain's bacon.
After Waterloo, Britain, Spain, Prussia, Austria, Russia, and others joined one another in suppressing liberal movements throughout Europe.
This is a TEST:
~ Why do the histories of so many revolutions seem revolting?
~ Where is your revolution headed?
~ Why might a republican be willing to become an emperor?
~ What is a "loo?"
~ Why ought the citizens of a republic be responsible?
