So, yes, we’re sending rockets into space to repair the Hubble telescope, almost a billion people, simultaneously, watched the opening ceremony of the Beijing Games and your average supermarket sells more brands of cat food than there are species of cats.

We’ve come quite a way, since we first climbed (or were thrown) out of that tree, like so many pieces of forbidding fruit, spoiling for a fight.

Of course, we also have our own modern day Napoleon, Silvio ‘papi’ Burlesqueoni, making an ass of himself over an eighteen years’ old lingerie model.

In other words, we may have evolved to the point that we now can mass produce (and, sometimes, even operate) the most complex electronic toys but, when it comes to male hormones, we haven’t really moved (or fallen) all that far from that ancestral tree.

Ah oui, ‘Plus ça change’ and all of that:

“A remarkable ivory carving is arguably the oldest sculpture of a human figure yet found, scientists say. The distorted object, which portrays a woman with huge breasts, big buttocks and exaggerated genitals, is thought to be at least 35,000 years old. The 6cm-tall figurine, reported in the journal Nature, is the latest find to come from Hohle Fels Cave in Germany. Previous discoveries have included exquisite carvings of animals, and an object that could be a stone “sex toy”.”

I wonder if, when she was first produced, the little figurine could say “Papi”
