The handprints and footprints are captivating. To think that ancient people put their hands and feet in the precise spot we may look at …we know exactly where their arms and legs were… I’ll not go on too much; they are enthralling.
That is a fantastic mix of guests! Imagine the stories David Attenborough could share from his travels, paired with David Mitchell’s humor. You'd have everything from nature insights to great comedy at one table.
5 year old me (how to always boldly self-advocate in support of your enthusiasm and individuality),
11 year old me (how to thrive by living as yourself, curating healthy boundaries and pursuing your passions - irrespective of the pressures of convention),
85 year old me (how to share with others the wisdom, reflections and lessons learned upon a life well lived).
My dna also tested high for Neanderthal genes, which I am very proud about. Yes, it would be great to have knowledge of personal distant ancestors. Modern tests bring the past alive to an astonishing degree. We see imprints of hands and footsteps, reconstructions of ancient musical instruments. There is amazing reconstruction work by the Kennis brothers.
Perhaps knowledge of dna technology will one day enable archaeologists to reconstruct the likenesses of your own family - wouldn't that be amazing.
