Sa mga nagdaang taon ay may ilang akda na rin ang mga Pilipinong antropologo na nagtangkang sumagot sa mahalagang tanong na: “Saan ba dapat patungo ang ating pag-aaghamtao?”. Pagkaraan ng daluyong ng makabayan at aktibistang mga kilusan ng dekada ‘60, umusbong naman ang mga konsepto at lapit sa paglikha ng diskursong “pantayo” at “pambansa” tulad ng Pantayong Pananaw ni Zeus Salazar sa disiplina ng kasaysayan, at Sikolohiyang Pilipino ni Virgilio Enriquez sa disiplina ng sikolohiya. Bagamat kamakailan lamang nag-“dalaga” ang disiplina, sa pagdiriwang ng ika-100 taon nito, marami na itong mahahalagang ambag sa pagtatakda ng agenda sa diskursong pambansa.

Linking prehistoric archaeological remains with the development of language, David Anthony identifies the prehistoric peoples of central Eurasia’s steppe grasslands as the original speakers of Proto-Indo-European, and shows how their innovative use of the ox wagon, horseback riding, and the warrior’s chariot turned the Eurasian steppes into a thriving transcontinental corridor of communication, commerce, and cultural exchange.

Although we spend time with her classmates and newly-minted friends as well as her parents and grandmother (played with brio by Kathy Bates), it is Fortson who shoulders the responsibility for maintaining our interest and ability to relate.

Given that it is not easy to write about Space, Time and Creation, given the math and the physics and the chemistry involved, the merit is so big that you think that –in the case of Ferris– that is not a virtue but a talent.Thus, the merit of the book is that give you not only information but a Weltanschauung (a world view) that you won’t forget. As long as you read the book you realize how much work there is behind the writing. This is the case, from my perspective, of “Coming of Age in the Milky Way.”Timothy Ferris is not a scientist but a journalist. ![]() Putting aside those books that defends one option (there is a god behind everything) or the other (there isn’t), you have the chance of reading a book with no side to defend. ![]() ⭐Cosmos is a battlefield for the conflict between science and religion.
