WHO WE ARE: A column about Australia by David Dale
On Wednesday a nation celebrates the heroism of thousands of young men who sacrificed their lives for freedom. The nation I'm talking about is, of course, Italy. April 25 is what they call Liberation Day, commemorating the point in 1945 when the Germans surrendered, after occupying northern Italy for the final two years of the war. There'll be ceremonies to honour the partisans who pinned down the Nazis and their Fascist supporters while the Americans, British and Australians moved up the peninsula. It's perceived as a day of joyous victory from oppression. The Italians came out of the war stereotyped as inept warriors and military losers. But the last laugh is with them. They went on to conquer the world without firing a single shot. All the images of coolness that clutter the collective unconscious of the west in the 21st century originated in the middle of the Mediterranean.

The new story of mankind: Genes
JERUSALEM - Standing on a hill in East Jerusalem, amid the clash of religious and political orthodoxies, stands a musty old museum devoted to human progress. When you walk into the Rockefeller Museum, with its old-fashioned display cases crowded with ancient pottery shards and oil lamps, you can begin by looking at the stone tools of early man. You proceed through the invention of agriculture and cities, winding up finally with the statues and reliquaries of the medieval era. What you're really looking at is a philosophy of history. The museum was set up in 1938, when scholars still spoke confidently of mankind's upward march from primitive culture to higher civilization. History is portrayed here as a great, unified story, with crucial pivot moments when humanity leapt forward - when people first buried their dead, when they moved from animistic faiths to polytheism, when they learned to cultivate reason and philosophy.
