... the circles, zigzags and spirals. At Stonehenge itself the erection of 4 bluestones around 2500 BC indicated a change from Moon worship to Sun worship. The mystery of the Long Man of Wilmington, a massive figure carved into the chalk hillside of southern England, has also been solved; he was a surveyor holding his measuring tools. Mammoth extinctions National Geographic February 1992, geographica; New Scientist 2.5 .92, p. 14 A mathematical computer programme run by an archaeologist showing varying population densities of early man and mammoths in North America shows that for thousands of years after the first arrival of men there would be no effect upon the mammoths but when the human population ...
52. On the Disproportion between Geological Time and Historical Time. Part Two - of Earth, Fire and Water [Journals] [SIS Review]
... have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils." [5 ] The one evolutionary burst that created the entire system' is the Cambrian explosion, when in the space of just 5 million years all modern phyla, as well as many phyla now extinct, appeared suddenly out of nowhere [6 ]. Four-fifths of the story of evolution - occupying the 2,900 million years of so-called Archaeozoic rock prior to the Cambrian - must be presumed to have gone on unrecorded. Undoubtedly the most spectacular repository of Cambrian life is the Burgess Shale, where (again quoting Gould) we see ...

54. The Erratic Descent of Man [Journals] [SIS Review]
... mid-Oligocene epoch, 33 million years (Myr) ago, this cold current between Australia and Antarctica was strong enough to result in the growth of glaciers on Antarctica and the transmission of cooler temperatures to other regions of the world by winds and ocean currents. There was a marked fall in sea level at this time, and scattered episodes of extinctions [17,18]. Impacts of asteroids or comets occurred about 39, 38 and 32 Myr ago, as evidenced by microtektite fields in the Caribbean, but none of these seem precisely associated with extinctions [19,20]. Continental drift was bringing Africa closer to Eurasia, but by 30 Myr ago these continents were still ...

... Catastrophism Workshop 1991 No 2 (Jan 1992) Home | Issue Contents Monitor Shades of Velikovsky New Scientist 14.9 .91, pp. 46-49 and 21.9 .91, pp. 30-34 Two major articles by leading professors David Raup and Neville Symonds give more body blows to neo-Darwinism. David Salkeld writes: - Raup's article "Extinction: bad genes or bad luck" is the first instance I've seen of a real discussion of extinction in the conventional literature. I think Velikovsky was invited to debate his evolutionary ideas with an opponent provided extinction was excluded: if that's correct it suggests that the problems Raup is now raising were well known 40 years ago but the climate ...
56. The Establishment of Gradualism [Books]
... catastrophes for, on each occasion, almost all the animals and plants then living were annihilated, a new set emerging in the aftermath, as judged by the fossils found in the rocks. As evidence of the speed of the process, at least concerning the most recent catastrophe, Cuvier drew attention to the discovery of unputrified carcasses of large extinct mammals in the northern ice. Later, Cuvier's pupil, Jean Baptiste Léonce Élie de Beaumont (1798-1874), argued that even if the Earth was cooling slowly and gradually as Buffon had proposed, and that the reduction in volume led to mountain building, then this latter process was still likely to occur in an episodic and catastrophic fashion ...

The Ammonoida, a subclass of the Cephalopoda, became extinct during the Cretaceous-Tertiary transition. (Photograph: Maggie Martin) Preface Catastrophism, Neocatastrophism and Evolution tells how prevailing views of patterns and processes in the evolution of life on Earth have changed in a significant fashion over the past few years.

58. For the Record. . . [Journals] [Kronos]
... (emphasis in this paragraph added). ". . .in catastrophic evolution, the simultaneous mutation of many genes could produce a new species at the first fertilization; all the offspring of a litter could be affected similarly.... The observation that healthy species of animals, like mammoths, with no sign of degeneration suddenly became extinct greatly troubled the evolutionists. This fact is unexplainable by natural selection or the principle of competition; not so by the catastrophic intervention of nature [Cf. W in C, "The Mammoths"].... Natural selection had its role, too, but not in procreating new species; it was a decisive factor in ...

... may have been in the heavens, it was not a detailed mathematical measurement of these which left the structure as we view it today. Jill Abery, 1988 All That Glisters is not Gould Books Reviewed S. M. Stanley: Earth and Life through Time, (Freeman, New York, 1986) S. M. Stanley: Extinction, (Scientific American Books, New York, 1987). The glittering reputation of Stephen J. Gould (see C & C Review IX, pp. 45-48) has to some extent drawn public attention away from another American palaeontologist, Steven M. Stanley. Stanley teaches at John Hopkins University and is a Research Associate of the ...

... small version of the Grand Canyon on the island of Kauai of the Hawaiian archipelago, a group of six trees of a hitherto unknown species of the Hibiscadelphus genus has apparently been found. The genus itself is a small one, confined to the Hawaiian islands and considered, because of its paucity of individuals, to be on the verge of extinction, it being assumed that it was formerly a flourishing group. Are small, struggling groups of organisms, however, necessarily just survivors? In many cases this may unfortunately be true, due to the wholesale destruction of the environment by man, but could some examples represent the potential beginnings of a new species? The Hibiscadelphus genus consists ...
