on “The genetic history of Scandinavia from the Roman Iron Age to the present”as others have already stated, art history is a pretty wonderful subject and in the pre-modern era was just as much a pursuit of science, technology & esoterica as it was aesthetics. there are also many fascinating characters > http://historyonfirepodcast.com/episodes/2016/8/15/episode-1... if you want to learn drawing i would recommend looking into peter han's dynamic sketching courses and scott robertson's how to…
