The cradle of humanity and the cradle of civilization are both in Africa. The incurious may not know this, but any decently educated person, in fact, anyone who was not asleep in the fourth grade should know this. To my way of thinking, anyone who would make the blanket statement that Africans are uncivilized should go look in the mirror.<br />I look forward to seeing the Trollip collection in person, not just drooling over the photographs.

And your column is a perfect example of why I find the MIE blog so wonderful: we can only learn about 'otherness' (and recognize how 'us-ness' it IS) by experiencing it ourselves. Short of VISITING and experiencing first-hand, reading and experiencing second-hand is the next best way. Sure, it's kind of like a deaf, blind man standing by a great waterfall and just feeling the mist on his face and a rumble in his chest, but still... this blog takes me all over the world and exposes me to culture and history that I (often-times) had never experienced, such as the "heads of Ife."<br /><br />Thanks!Everett Kaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371555243187874414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-62190905496934024122013-07-25T11:19:57.437-04:002013-07-25T11:19:57.437-04:00Your point is very well taken, Stan.
