... From: Solaria Binaria, by Alfred De Grazia and Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER TWELVE Quantavolution of the Biosphere: Homo Sapiens Subjected to the effects of an unstable star, Earth's biosphere quantavoluted by extinction and genetic realization into the present form. To be emphasized here are the recent wave of genetic realization and the advent of Homo sapiens as an observer of the history of Solaria Binaria in its last stage. Radiometric chronology and geochronometry based upon gradual stratification are incongruent with the model of Solaria Binaria. The fossil record, which is the guarantor of traditional geochronometry for the phanerozoic era, is generally acknowledged to be fragmentary, disjointed, and anomalistic (Ager, ...
42. The Riddle of the Earth [Books]
... or from north-north-east to south-south-west, as at present is the direction of the Ecliptic Pole, so at one time that part of the earth was the position of the then North Pole. By a series of huge dumpings or deposits, by means of tremendous impacts, was age after age built up, and by the linear direction of volcanoes extinct or alive can a prior period of the world's history be identified. Such is the theory advanced. It is shown how these meteor deposits, volcanoes, gradually cool and die out like a fire unless they are renovated by other meteor impacts which may strengthen and increase them as is the case with many volcanoes. An active volcano, ...
43. Were All Dinosaurs Reptiles? [Journals] [Kronos]
... perished, but before perishing it left its mark- its footprints. The antiquity of the geological strata in which fossils are found is measured by tens and hundreds of millions of years. However, all conclusions of geology must be revised in a very definite manner. It is possible that not tens of millions of years lay between the full extinction of the large Dinosauria and our age, but only some thousands of years. The evolution of species, as it would proceed in a world not disturbed by catastrophes, would require for its course quite a different span of time than if cataclysms intervened; cataclysms could do in only hours or weeks for what evolution would require millennia to ...
44. The Velikovskian Vol. III. Nos. 2-3 [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1997:1 (Sep 1997) Home | Issue Contents The Velikovskian Vol. III. Nos. 2-3 The Extinction of the Mammoths (303pp) by Charles Ginenthal, is a special double-issue of the Velikovskian. Did the mammoths live in Alaska and Siberia during the Ice Age? Pollen research emphatically denies this. Could the bones, tusks, and bodies of mammoths have been buried gradually and preserved in the tundra? Recent studies prove this could not have occurred. Did the poles of the Earth shift, and is there fundamental evidence to prove this? Yes! Plant geography presents solid support that the orientation of the poles was less oblique when ...
45. Book Review [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... due to the same preconceived idea. South America, effectively isolated as a land mass during most of the Tertiary Period, became connected to Central and North America via the Panamanian Isthmus during the Pliocene Epoch. The preconceived orthodox idea is that in the resulting mammalian exchanges and consequent Darwinian struggle for existence the northern types proved superior and caused the extinction of many southern types. Myers, after incorrectly inferring that Simpson is telling how the "geologic joining of South and North America during the Pliocene" was responsible for "a climax of extinctions and speciation some 5 million years ago", finally laments Simpson's lack of comment about the workings of evolution and the causes of these extinctions: ...

47. On Ecological Niches in Evolution [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ) a new - often more hostile - environment is created which should apply a lot of pressure for change; and (b ) a seemingly valid alternative explanation would be that the ecological niche' thesis is itself invalid. In any case, does new' in this niche context mean the vacation of one or more existing niches by the extinction of a previously extant species' (which is what lines 15-16 suggest); the extension of an existing type of niche into an area previously classified as of a different type' - as, for instance, when the sea invades erstwhile dry land (see line 19); the creation of a type of niche that did not ...

49. Polymathics and Catastrophism: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Problems of Evolutionary Theory [Journals] [Kronos]
... inferred to have bracketed eras, such as the Mesozoic; meso-catastrophes, to have bracketed periods, such as the Cambrian; and micro-catastrophes, to have bracketed epochs, such as the Pleistocene. At time-zone boundaries, the three types of biological event that signal radical discontinuity with the evolutionary past are, in order of decisiveness: (1 ) extinction, (2 ) speciation, and (3 ) biotic dominance. Unfortunately, biologists are inconsistent in their use of these terms, with the result that further qualifications and distinctions need to be made before they can be employed without ambiguity. The most salient type of extinction is what may be described as phyletic death without issue. In ...
50. Arctic Tundra Mammoth Steppe Or Velikovskian Poleshift? [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... in the arctic region, essentially comes down to the food supply. According to Pielou: "The fossil record shows that many species of large mammals lived there [in the arctic], for example, among vegetarians, wooly mammoths, mastodon, woodland muskox, western camel, Lambe's horse, and long-horned or steppe bison, all now extinct. Other, still extant, herbivores were also residents: caribou, tundra muskox, wapiti or elk, and Dall's sheep. Preying on them were short-faced bear, American lion, and the sabertooth cat, all now extinct, and the extant grizzly bear, wolf and wolverine.... The problem is: How did such ...
