... conditions. This incapacity for normal reproduction, due to `old age' of the species, is called phylogeronty, a word coming from the Greek phyl, meaning tribe, and geron, old man. This phenomenon is often advanced to explain the total disappearance of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period. Darwin's theory of slow evolution was the direct consequence of Lyell's, which rejects catastrophism in geological evolution. Lyell, nevertheless, himself wrote in his Principles of Geology: `It has been truly observed that when we arrange the known fossiliferous formations in chronological order, they constitute a broken and defective series . . . we pass, without any intermediate gradation from systems ...
122. Mind and its Methods: A Reflection on Neurotic Science [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , is blatantly demonstrated in...scientific models that are so beset with repressive language and structures. The scientific community reports that it "purifies" human experience. The scientists claim that when they work, they are somehow transformed, transfigured, transposed and transported. For thousands of years now, the human race has been in intermittent evolution. Historically, we understand that the correlate drive, to involute, has not always been supportive of human evolution. Involutional activity, when explained as a phenomenological event and analyzed, need not choke off human evolution. Human involution (placed squarely under a fearless analysis or just another phenomenon) serves as the fulcrum for evolutionary balance. ...

124. Graincollection: Human's Natural Ecological Niche -- A Review [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 1 No 4 (1993) Home | Issue Contents Graincollection: Human's Natural Ecological Niche- A Review Roger W. Wesoott See note 1. Sergio Treviņo is an independent-minded scholar who has made use of two troublesome anomalies of primate evolution to create a highly original model of humanoid phylogeny. The first of these anomalies is the total absence of chimpanzee and gorilla remains from the fossil record of Quaternary Africa. The second is the apparent ineffectiveness of pre-Levalloisian choppers and hand-axes as weapons of the chase or butchering tools. Treviņo solves these problems by discarding the prevalent paleontological view of [the] prehistory of man and apes. Chimpanzees, he says, are ...

126. Perilous Planet Earth: Catastrophes and Catastrophism Through the Ages by Trevor Palmer. [Journals] [SIS Review]
... C&C Workshop 2004:4 ) Home | Issue Home Perilous Planet Earth: Catastrophes and Catastrophism Through the Ages by Trevor Palmer Cambridge University Press. 2003. Reviewed by Laurence Dixon This book looks at the way in which prevailing views of modes of global changes have changed dramatically over the years. The two main themes are geology and evolution; both highly contentious subjects as soon as the word catastrophe is mentioned. This book is a major contribution to knowledge in this area as befits an author with Professor Palmer's academic background. It is aimed at professional academics and students from a variety of disciplines, including palaeontology, geology, evolutionary biology, history, astronomy and social anthropology ...
127. Quantalism: The Big Picture [Journals] [Aeon]
... that ancient disruptions of a previously long-established order had transformed all aspects of human life on earth. Before proceeding to put catastrophism itself in perspective, let us briefly face a problem that no discussion of Velikovsky's thought can long avoid; and this is the fact that Velikovsky himself is widely regarded as a pseudo-scientist and his exposition of pre-Achaemenid history and evolution as unscientific. Why is this? The reason for his stigmatization, I believe, is scholarly parochialism- the growing tendency in most disciplines, but especially the more prestigious natural sciences, to identify the discipline itself with the most recent school of thought within the discipline. In the earth sciences, for example, geologists have tended since ...

... human history, a subject rarely considered by mainstream science. The field of evidence will range from ancient symbolic, mythical and ritual commemorations of catastrophe, to the most recent space age revelations of past planetary violence. The Electric Universe - Exploring the surprising role electricity plays in the physical world. Students will examine evidence that electricity helped shape the evolution of the solar system and galaxy, and that the surfaces of planets and moons were sculpted in part by interplanetary lightning bolts, when planets moved on unstable courses only a few thousand years ago.

... .) LET us now endeavour to interpret the wheels spoken of by Greek authors as having been suspended in Egyptian temples; in taking which for symbols of the mutability of human affairs, Plutarch was perchance well advised. More closely, these wheels would have shown forth the incessant unrolling of events in Time, the continual and continuous revolution and evolution of the Universe; the restless course That Time doth run with calm and silent foot. (Marlowe's Faustus, iv, 2, 2.) 16. If it be that the turning of a mimic Universe-Wheel became an act of adoration of the heavenly sublimity (as I have endeavoured to show) one easily expounds the occult circle ...
