Ancient hand bone dates origins of human dexterity




The discovery of an ancient bone at a burial site in Kenya puts the origin of human hand dexterity more than half a million years earlier than previously thought. In all ways, the bone - a well-preserved metacarpal that connects to the index finger - resembles that of modern man, PNAS journal reports in its current issue dt. 10 December 2013.  It is the earliest fossilised evidence of when humans developed a strong enough grip to start using tools. http://bit.ly/JBKDdq






Shown above is the chart of the 9 May  solar eclipse at Washington DC  where the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has its  headquarters. By the rules of mundane astrology, the eclipse is important for the place since it is on the descendant (i.e. just setting).  Uranus [10ar45] forms a sesqui aspect to Ascendant [24sc23]. Conjunct the Ascendant is the star kappa Centauri, the hand holding the spear – in ancient Euphratean star-lists , Suzak-Gudelim, “The right hand of the Centaur” [1]. Uranus is conjunct 14 Andromedae [12ar08], in Andromeda’s chained right wrist [2]. 







Meanwhile, Neptune [5pi09] is conjunct the IC [6pi16] which Diana Rosenberg associates with “fossil and archaeological discoveries, major technological and scientific advances” [3]. The theme of the stars connecting the “wrist”, the “hand” and “archaeological discovery” says it all! On 10 December, the date of publication of the report we find the progressed MC conjunct Uranus. Since Uranus is square Pluto – a combination associated with technological and scientific advances [4] – it is no surprise that a major discovery is being reported.
