Maropeng Museum

I see that the new maropeng museum (http://www.maropeng.co.za) has been finished. We're all really proud that the origins of mankind were found in our country (also see http://www.cradleofhumankind.co.za). I don't know why. I assume because our scientists and palaentologists are the best, finding and interpreting these things. There's very little we African's have to be proud of on the scientific front, since we haven't produced many scientific discoveries at all. Our only record of past civilisation is the Zimbabwe Ruins. Basically we ran around in loin clothes with spears before being colonised. No wonder we are a bit lacking on the literaure side too. However, there's no reason to feel inferior because of it - you are what you are, and although Einstein was Jewish, neither he nor the Jews are superior to us. We are the perfect specimens of what we are, and should be proud of it.
