Stephan:   Today's edition is by design a break from what I have come to think of as the sewers of Fecal Trump. All day today I have been watching,  listening to, and reading one report after another focused on the lies, deceptions, greed, moral depravity, and lack of compassion that is being demonstrated by the Trump administration, its leader, and the Republican Party. Over just the past 50 days, the United States of America has become a different country with different ethical standards and goals.  It has just become overwhelming. So today, I have taken a break from this flood, and gone back in time to share with you new insights into our past. Archaeology and its sister disciplines for studying early hominoids are experiencing one of the most robust and exciting periods in the history of this area of science. Very challenging stuff is emerging that people ought to know about because it is telling us important things about who we are, and where we came from. So think of today's SR as a palate cleanser, and enjoy. Tomorrow we will return to braving the outflow of the Republican sewers. -- Stephan
