The history of writing is primarily the development of expressing language by letters or other marks [ 1 ] and also the study and describing of these developments. In the history of how systems of representation of language through graphic means have evolved in different human civilizations, more complete writing systems were preceded by proto-writing , systems of ideographic and/or early mnemonic symbol. True writing , in which the entire content of a linguistic utterance is encoded so that another reader can reconstruct, with a fair degree of accuracy, the exact utterance written down, is a later development, and is distinguished from proto-writing which typically avoids encoding grammatical words and affixes, making it difficult or impossible to confidently reconstruct the exact meaning intended by the writer unless a great deal of context is already known in advance. One of the earliest forms of written expression is cuneiform . [ 2 ]

Oulipo ( French pronunciation: [ulipo] , short for French : Ou vroir de li ttérature po tentielle ; roughly translated: "workshop of potential literature" ) is a loose gathering of (mainly) French-speaking writers and mathematicians which seeks to create works using constrained writing techniques. It was founded in 1960 by Raymond Queneau and François Le Lionnais . Other notable members have included novelists Georges Perec and Italo Calvino , poets Oskar Pastior , Jean Lescure and poet/mathematician Jacques Roubaud .

Evolution
The humanzee (also known as the Chuman or Manpanzee ) is a hypothetical chimpanzee / human hybrid . Chimpanzees and humans are closely related (95% of their DNA sequence , and 99% of coding DNA sequences are in common [ 1 ] ), leading to contested speculation that a hybrid is possible.

Near-Earth object
A near-Earth object ( NEO ) is a Solar System object whose orbit brings it into proximity with the Earth.
Pleiades
In astronomy , the Pleiades ( pron.: / ˈ p l aɪ . ə d iː z / or / ˈ p l iː . ə d iː z / ), or Seven Sisters ( Messier object 45 or M45 ), is an open star cluster containing middle-aged hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus . It is among the nearest star clusters to Earth and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky .
Proper motion
The proper motion of a star is its angular change in position over time as seen from the center of mass of the Solar System. [ 1 ] It is measured in seconds of arc per year, arcsec/yr, where 3600 arcseconds equal one degree . [ 2 ] This contrasts with radial velocity , which is the time rate of change in distance toward or away from the viewer, usually measured by Doppler shift of received radiation. The proper motion is not entirely "proper" (that is, intrinsic to the star) because it includes a component due to the motion of the solar system itself. [ 3 ] Due to the constant, and unvarying speed of light (that is also constant; without regard to whatever is the velocity of the eminating or reflecting source), the true (i.e., instantaneous) velocities of distant stars cannot be observed; the observed proper motion reflects the motion (velocity) of a star at the time the light was emitted from that source. Relation between proper motion and velocity components of an object.
William James Sidis
William James Sidis ( / ˈ s aɪ d ɪ s / ; April 1, 1898 – July 17, 1944) was a Jewish Ukrainian-American child prodigy with exceptional mathematical and linguistic abilities. During his life, his ratio IQ was estimated to be between 250 and 300, making it one of the highest ever recorded but the testing was different from standard IQ tests. [ 1 ] He entered Harvard at age 11 and, as an adult, was claimed to be conversant in over forty languages and dialects.William James Sidis
