Hello my friends! Welcome back to The Ginger Bread Man!



I am returning from a pretty hellish illness from these past two weeks, but I feel buoyed up by the loveliness of the holiday season! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! 



This week I would like to discuss Neanderthals and the various perspectives we have had about their capacity throughout the years. I share some interesting facts I learned from a Documentary on Netflix: Secrets of the Neanderthals. I use this as a starting point to question Anthropomorphism and Animal Intelligence.



After, I read a section from Saint Augustine's Confessions, from the chapter on Memory. 



If you would like to email me about anything please reach out at thegingerbreadmansdialogues@gmail.com! Have a wonderful week!
