Bronowski on memory.

'And yet, fifty years from now, if an understanding of man's origins, his evolution, his history, his progress is not the commonplace of the schoolbooks, we shall not exist.'
- Jacob Bronowski, The Ascent of Man, 1973

An accurate understanding, he implies.  Marxist and feminist “studies” have their own answers to all of that.

And frankly his origins and evolution are overrated because those who believe in evolution tend to turn off that knowledge when applying it to the current day.
