10,000 year old accurate stories! Delighted to see Patrick Nunn's 2018 article on longevity of Indigenous stories reprinted in Sapiens. Patrick's research had a massive influence on my understanding of the robust nature of First Nations stories.

@ecoscore Thank you - I really appreciate your opinion!
Really enjoyed talking to Andy Park on ABC Radio National about 'The Knowledge Gene':
@gnoll110 I am really chuffed!
@gnoll110 I am amazed by what you know!
Thank you so much for your comments on The Knowledge Gene! I really appreciate the support at this early stage in the book's journey out into the big world.

I have Tubular Bells, Ommadawn and my favourite, Music of the Spheres.
Love it!
Absolutely delighted by this review of The Knowledge Gene by Lucy Sussex.

It is actually that all people are genetically wired for the arts!
