RE: Figs

I did hear a short blurb on that.  Hopefully it will end up in Discover
Magazine or National Geographic with more details.  I love stuff like that!

Anyone else see that piece in the NYT this AM about the discovery of the
11,300-year-old fig fossils near Jericho? Discovers think they were the
first instance of humans specifically growing rather than gathering food.
Makes me kinda connected that the ancestors of my four trees fed the
ancestors of my tribe.
