This is a different sort of blog post. Playing off the readings for today and your knowledge of anthropology I want you to think about what it would have been like for two hominin species to meet. You could do this as a sort of narrative piece, you could make up a story, etc. I don't have a set form in mind so take it in any direction you like.
