  ALMOST HALF A MILLION VIEWS

SINCE THIS BLOG BEGAN

This blog is now in its 14th year

I began to write it in December 2012

Richard de Garis Doble 

Master of Arts in Communication

Minor in Anthropology

Over 125 in-depth articles 

with many references and links to other articles.

The blogs are about the human relationship to time from the Lower Paleolithic to the modern day, along with speculation about the future. All articles are covered by a Creative Commons license, meaning you can use, quote, or copy as much as you like as long as you give my articles and my name, Rick Doble, full credit.

The central theme of this blog is the human understanding and perception of time. I found I was able to write in depth about how our modern concept of linear time, with a past, present, and future, evolved from animal time, which is immediate and in the moment. It was/is this sense of time, I believe, that gave us our ability to plan and build, and was essential for the creation of our civilizations. 

In any case, even if people disagree with my conclusions, I feel I have asked important questions, questions that have not been addressed until now. 

I reprint my blogs on three academic sites as PDF files you can read online or download.
