As you make visits to the displays, and there are many, you will soon note the trend is toward the young. They, with there clean slate and open minds, deserve the chance to walk the path of there history. Along it they learn why they, as humans, need preserve it.
Man human is unique. Not just as a species, but in that he has survived. Slower, weaker, unable to fly, and alien to the sea, he is master of all these. Here at the museum we strive to interest our visitors, not just what man has done, but what man human has done.

Yes, they talk. The stones, the bits of weavings, the trash they (early cave man) walked on. We only need to learn to listen. The "so called" lost history of man is there, we must take the time to understand it. We will not meet the maker of the stone point we find, but his bits of shaped flint, may tell us much of his life. His art placed on the cave wall, could be an encyclopaedia. THE PARALLELS, we offer you a paper on them in the museum library. The old world and the new. But did you ever stop to think of those similarities between cave man and ourselves? Can there be much in common between man of the twenty first century and man some 10,000 years past, living in a cave? True TV is out, space ships nada, and Jaguar’s nope. But you will be in for a surprise, of the "in things". Want to take a quick peek? |

Did you know he made a hinge, one that works to this day? That man in the Americas was very close to also having the boomerang, some two millennium or more in the past? That teaching the young, and their care, was as important to him, as ourselves today? That man, who lived over 200 feet above the Pecos and Rio Grand rivers, was a fisherman? The hook, line and sinker kind of fishing. Did you know, he also knew sorrow? Here at the Pecos Rio Grande Museum, we will help you listen. |
