http://writeinthemargins.org/sensitivity-readers/
A sensitivity reader reads through a manuscript for issues of representation and for instances of bias on the page. The goal of a sensitivity reader isn’t to edit a manuscript clarity and logic, although that may be an additional service offered. A sensitivity reader reviews a manuscript for internalized bias and negatively charged language. A sensitivity reader is there to help make sure you do not make a mistake, but they are also NOT a guarantee against making a mistake.
How much does this cost?
Writing in the Margins recommends a basic minimum of $250 for a high level overall read on a manuscript (60,000-100,000 words). The manuscript should be free of glaring errors and should be nearly submission ready, meaning it should be a later draft and something that has been reviewed by others.

Ice age man didn't build shit, your image is misleading. He walked around picking things from the ground and running at mammals to hit them with sharp sticks.

They obviously used ice, hence the name.

Oldest modern human remains we have found are about 180 000 years old, you really think we weren't doing shit till 11-12 thousand years ago?

You get your ass probed by pointy sticks in all of them

You're getting fisted by deity of your choice.

Hinduism - reincarnation if you do not obtain liberation
Buddhism - many realms : Hell realm, hungry ghost realm, human realm, angry deity realm, heavenly deity realm, nirvana.
Judaism - resurrection into a heavenly city
Christianity - resurrection and union with the Son of God or hellfire
Islam - resurrection and paradise or hell. Paradise with virgins if you martyr your self.

Funny thing is global warming may make Stalin's Canal relevant again.

It's a silver tetradrachm of Philip II that follows common motifs (Zeus with laurel, young rider with branch, kantharos under) but I can't tell you anything else.

What was Lisbon like before the earthquake and did the earthquake have a profound effect on Portuguese culture or the way other Europeans saw Portugal?

Huge and populous.
The effect on portugal was that the ammount of money to pay for the reconstruction was staggering. Also the time the port was taken out of comission created competition elsewhere.

Miracle of the Sun
>Estimates of number present range from 30,000 and 40,000 by Avelino de Almeida, writing for the Portuguese newspaper O Século,[12] to 100,000, estimated by Dr. Joseph Garrett, professor of natural sciences at the University of Coimbra, both of whom were present that day.
>The people had gathered because three young shepherd children had predicted that at high noon the lady who had appeared to them several times would perform a great miracle. According to many witnesses, after a period of rain, the dark clouds broke and the sun appeared as an opaque, spinning disc in the sky. It was said to be significantly duller than normal, and to cast multicolored lights across the landscape, the people, and the surrounding clouds. The sun was then reported to have careened towards the earth before zig-zagging back to its normal position. Witnesses reported that their previously wet clothes became "suddenly and completely dry, as well as the wet and muddy ground that had been previously soaked because of the rain that had been falling". Not all witnesses reported seeing the sun "dance". Some people only saw the radiant colors, and others, including some believers, saw nothing at all.
>[...]De Marchi states that the prediction of an unspecified "miracle", the abrupt beginning and end of the alleged miracle of the sun, the varied religious backgrounds of the observers, the sheer numbers of people present, and the lack of any known scientific causative factor make a mass hallucination unlikely. That the activity of the sun was reported as visible by those up to 18 kilometres (11 mi) away, also precludes the theory of a collective hallucination or mass hysteria.
