Did the Seven Sisters come out of Africa?
Prof. Ray Norris

The ancient Greeks said that the Seven Sisters cluster of stars were a group of girls, chased by Orion. But virtually the same story is told by Australian Aboriginal people, and many other cultures. And many of these groups call them seven sisters and then have a story to explain why you only see six stars. Why? Can we trace this story back to our ancestors in Africa around 100,000 BC?
