To understand one, you have to understand the other; understanding of one doesn't exist without the understanding of the other. Similarly, to understand ourselves we have to understand our family, past, and present. ]]> 2023-02-14 01:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/snewa001/rhuebpfczycj97fi/wish/2480686785 crica017 https://padlet.com/snewa001/rhuebpfczycj97fi/wish/2480718118 "We are in agreement as to the implication of these findings: that the human species has the potential to exist for only a fixed number of generations, and we are within five generations of the final one"
