I really think the talk about human evolution very interesting, especially when the scientist (I don’t remember her name) showed us that there are questions without answers, for the moment. A lot of work is needed to discover evidence that help scientists to built the map of our evolution, for instance, the mysterious extinction of Neanderthals and more date about human emigrations. Surely, in the future, someone will find out mistakes in evolution theory and other links between our ancestors will appear, so those questions will be solved. 

When you are interested in this subject, sometimes one thinks how short is the distance between apes and humans:  Is the language the tool that makes the human brain develops? Why only humans develop oral language? If the apes could speak, could they be clever like humans? There are experiments with chimpanzees to find ways of communicating with them and in some cases there have been good results. Consequently, next questions are: How are the apes treated by us? Why are they  used in medical researchers? Do apes have rights?  

Two months ago I read an interview to Antoni Miró who explained that he had organized a catwalk with foreign people from Africa   without identity card. When the journalist asked him what was his opinion about complaints from people who said that fashion is flippant and the designer only wanted to earn a lot of money with a controversial subject, he answered that was false because he was very worried about immigration and fashion move lots of money while public were more aware of the problem.

Curios point of view! 

In my opinion, nowadays, children and teenagers are the most important objective of publicity. Parents waste lots of money to their kids are comfortable or cool if they are adolescents. Besides, we live in a period when it’s normal “use and throw away” so we need buy more and more. Consequently, our children do the same.   

He ran a lamb over. He  paid to the shepherd and went on his way to a hospital.

A year later, the man and his wife were walking  and remembering her accident on the mountains . A shepherd  said to them : “  A crazy driver paid for this  lamb dead, it survive!”

This is a controversial subject in my country, because a lot of people have to wait to have an operation, which isn’t urgent. The trouble is the large number of old people who need to go in the operating theatre because of their problems with their eyes, their knees, their hips…The hospitals don’t have room for so many men and women and they are on a waiting list. Currently, a person who must be operated on the hip, he or she will have to wait for two or three years. In contrast, if the same person also pays a private medicine or private medical insurance, the operation is done immediately.

I named my blog Orlando because when our English teacher said to us that the name of her blog was Virginia (in honour of the writer), I remembered two books by Virginia Woolf which I had read and which I liked very much. One of them is Orlando; this is a story about one's own identity. The action takes place during Middle Ages; a noble boy changes his   sex when he falls into a frozen lake. I really think the idea,  about different points of view from  the same person depending on  whether you are a man or a woman,   very original.
