223. Geological Genesis [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... development of complex climatic variations and the development of polar ice-caps. The remnants of surviving flora and fauna, possibly already undergoing massive mutation due to radiation effects, would explosively adapt to a whole range of entire new conditions. Evidence: The geological boundary between the Cretaceous and the Tertiary periods marks a radical change in conditions on Earth. Massive extinctions of life took place, including entire major groups and an estimated 70% of species total. The boundary is marked physically by a world-wide thin layer of clay which chemical analysis has shown to be considerable enriched in several elements, notably iridium, over and above the levels normally found on Earth. The obvious explanation for the presence of ...
... about it. On the same day as the American blizzard Tokyo reported a 4 hour earthquake in Kamchatka, Siberia, which was described by Reuter as of equal intensity to the Tokyo shocks of September 1923. At or about the same time (February 15 -16) the volcano Sogoris, in the Black Sea region, long supposed to be extinct and done for, burst into violent eruption and many people were killed, while hundreds of houses were destroyed. Volcanoes are very hard to kill. Popocatepetl lay quiescent for four hundred years and flared up again. Vesuvius has been dormant for periods of two hundred years and burst forth worse than ever. Cities like Bath, Somerset, ...

226. Horizons [Journals] [SIS Review]
... great geological eras; L. J. Salop of the Leningrad geological research institute, in by far the longest paper, Glaciations, Biologic Crises and Supernovae, meticulously charts this correspondence. Both authors propose an external agent such as enhanced cosmic radiation: besides acting on the atmosphere and bringing about the Ice Ages, this can also cause the extinction and (by mutation) creation of species. In Galactic Domains, G Fluctuations and Geomagnetic Reversals, on the other hand, a British contributor, Harold Aspden, discusses the relationship between episodes of deformation of the earth's crust and reversals of its magnetic field, again finding the explanation in a cosmic context. (His hypothesis that " ...
227. A Third Alternative [Journals] [Kronos]
... Upheaval. Velikovsky shows that newer species have indeed descended from older species, but in discrete and sudden leaps rather than in continuous and slow transitions. The mechanism for the formation of new species is the massive mutation that results from global catastrophes when Earth has been in near-collisions with other bodies. These near-collisions and cataclysmic circumstances caused both the simultaneous extinction of numerous older species and the simultaneous proliferation of numerous new species. Velikovsky's theory also explains why the "missing links" are absent from the geological record: such intermediate or transitional forms never did exist at all, for evolution has proceeded by discrete jumps from one species to another, rather than by continuous gradation through intermediate stages. ...
228. Whence Homo? [Journals] [Aeon]
... , (11) , (12) The possible reality of a distinct Homo habilis remains an open question. The Taxonomical Classification of Home KINGDOM: Animalia PHYLUM: Chordata SUBPHYLUM: Vertebrata CLASS: Mammalia SUBCLASS: Theria INFRACLASS: Eutheria ORDER: Primates SUBORDER: Anthropoidea SUPERFAMILY: Hominoidea FAMILY: Hominidae GENUS: Homo SPECIES: Homo erectus (extinct) Home sapiens Homo Erectus All in all, a great deal of mystery surrounds the origin of Homo. Much of the uncertainty is reflected in the essence of the debate over Homo habilis. The earliest widely recognized member of this genus is not Homo habilis but Homo erectus. (13) , (14) The oldest evidence of ...

... unexpectedly came the entombment; and vast forests were burned and washed away and covered with the waters of the seas and with sand and turned to coal; and animals were swept to the far north and thrown into heaps and were soaked by bituminous outpourings; and broken bones and torn ligaments and the skins of animals of living species and of extinct were smashed together with splintered forests into huge piles; and whales were cast out of the oceans onto mountains; and rocks from disintegrating mountain ridges were carried over vast stretches of land, from Norway to the Carpathians, and into the Harz Mountains, and into Scotland, and from Mount Blanc to the Juras, and from Labrador to ...

... stratum are present-day varieties, then the stratum is of Miocene time, an earlier subdivision of the Tertiary; and so on, down to the stratum where shells of extant species of molluscs find no direct ancestors. Lyell's time system is based on the assumption that no catastrophic events intervened and that the extirpation of species was the result of slow extinction, which Darwin's theory ascribes to the survival of the fittest in the struggle for the limited means of existence. But if great catastrophes occurred on the surface of the earth and in the depths of the seas, of more than local character, and if in such upheavals some forms of life perished and others survived, and the progeny ...
