A bit of a quiet day. Carla had a webinar that took up the whole
morning. Then, Austin and Carla had lunch together while watching part
of Ratatouille. While Austin finished watching Ratatouille, Carla
returned to her desk to finish up some work. Then, Carla and Austin
read The Battle of the Labyrinth together for about 45 minutes. Austin
continued reading independently while Carla napped for another 45
minutes (haven't been getting much sleep this week).
Then, Austin and Carla watched Elaine Morgan's TED talk
http://www.ted.com/talks/
about her theory that humans have aquatic ancestors. I was interested
to discover, and I shared with Austin, that Elaine Morgan's theory is
based on ancient Greek philosophies of human evolution. This is a nice
tying in of our learning to the Olympians series, and Austin's
enduring hypotheses of the evolution of prehistoric animals.
