On August 21, 194 years ago in less than a month, Nat Turner led a revolt. Dozens died. But what haunted white Southerners wasn’t the blood—it was the intention. The reading. The prophecy. The belief that enslaved people could think, lead, and judge.

Leonardo's Vitruvian Man: modern craniofacial anatomical analysis reveals a possible solution to the 500-year-old mystery

Human hands are incredible tools -- we create with them, feel with them, touch and sense, and carry various things from one place to another.
But sometimes they're not enough, and that's when we use our abundant human ingenuity to fashion a means to add to what our hands can carry: we employ pots, baskets, Tupperware, slings, fabric, totes -- culture and era determine our choices.
