... noxious intruder. The fact stressed by Agassiz that numerous earlier species of fish showed a more highly developed organism when compared with later species of fish can be explained by the destruction of earlier forms, not in the process of competition, but in upheavals against which superior structure is no defence. 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. The fact that at several stages of the past many animals of various species and many species in toto were rather suddenly exterminated, in conflict with ...
192. Worlds In Collision And Recent Finds In Archaeology. Ch.17 Supplement (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... those assigned by adherents of the conventional chronology. Then you will know for certain whether the conventional or the revised history of the lands of the ancient East for twelve hundred years is authentic and true.4 In recent years, Russian archaeologists have discovered abundant remains of human culture in north-eastern Siberia, in the frozen taiga where frozen bodies of mammoths are found and where nobody suspected human abodes in ages past. There was human population in north-eastern Siberia in paleolithic time, in neolithic time, and in the bronze time too. Paleolithic artifacts were found in Yakutia; rock drawings very similar to the paleolithic drawings on the rocks and in the caverns of France and Spain were found in ...
193. Catastrophist Geology Year 2, No 1 [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... Syracuse / USA Robert van Everdingen hydrogeologist Calgary/Canada In evaluating an MS submitted for publication the following criteria are used, separately or together: does it study discontinuities in Earth history? does it clarify what catastrophist geology is about? does it focus on subjects neglected or tabooed in the mainstream geological journals? Cover design based on engravngs of mammoths in Font de Gaume cave, Dordogne, France. In forthcoming Issue Otto H. Schindewolf (1896-1971) on catastrophism in palaeontology L.I .

194. The Periodic Cyclicism Of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... crossed the heavens, from east to west, on a night close to the full moon, bringing much frightening noise, screeching, thundering, quaking, etc. The other Latin day of fear, the "Armilustrium" was simultaneous with the Celtic Samhain and both are believed to have been October 24. Of peripheral interest are the quick-frozen mammoths and rhinos of Siberia and the quick-frozen bison of Alaska. All had sedges and other vegetation in their mouths when quick-frozen, and that vegetation was in the seed seasons, the autumn. That icy catastrophe was an autumn event. This is supported by sub-sea level ice near Little America, on Antarctica. There the ice is 7, ...
195. A Personal Report on, and Irreverent Look at, the World Conference 'Planetary Violence in Human History' Portland, Oregon, January 3-5, 1997 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... overall, as the idea of a Golden Age near to the warming Saturn might suggest. Dunlap was another doom merchant; he seems very keen on setting up systems to destroy incoming meteorites. He urged us to disseminate information about mass extinctions to avoid ourselves becoming extinct. No comment. Charles Ginenthal: Shifting Poles and the Extinction of the Mammoths'. Ginenthal reported a similar dream: he saw a moon fall out of the sky, destroying Earth. He had got about half-way into his talk when his time was up, so we never found out about the mammoths but he gave interesting evidence on pole shifts and the expansion of the temperate zones north and south, to ...
196. For the Record. . . [Journals] [Kronos]
... of nature at the end of that age" (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 ...
197. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... he makes or implies. The first is that he appears to accept the uniformitarian position that large animal extinctions occurred over a period of years. Although the article attempts to assign some incrementalism to these extinctions, the sole use of terrestrial mechanisms (albeit instigated by celestial forces) to destroy the animals doesn't correspond to the evidence. The large mammoths were frozen so rapidly their flesh was still edible! These animals were 18' thick. Using a mixture of calcium carbonate and water with a specific gravity of 1.3 at a minute 40 degrees F, I was able to freeze a four inch thick salmon rapidly enough to market it in Japan. This works, but keeping the ...
198. The Cabots, the Lowells, and the Temperature of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... and liquid chromatography. I'm sure there are plausible-sounding arguments against the possibility of such things. Thermodynamic treatment of Hawaiian volcanoes - present, terrestrial and observable - is extremely difficult and controversial. If one had not stood in the presence of an erupting Mauna Loa, and yet tried by the plastic toys of debate, to convince someone of the mammoth proportions of the event, there is no doubt in my mind that impressive "counter equations" could be written to "debunk" what really occurs. These "counter equations" would be wrong, not intrinsically but in the sense of being inapplicable, irrelevant and trivial. Constructive uses of mathematical arguments are plentiful and impressive. Predictions ...
199. Collapsing Tests of Time [Books] [de Grazia books]
... world to move like a clock, but had to intervene upon occasion to make adjustments in its regularity, (an idea that reminds us forcibly of Plato's God at the tiller of the world ship). Whereupon Leibnitz was prompted to remark that Newton had not only made of God a clock-maker, but a poor one at that. OF MAMMOTHS AND AMBER If, as the preceding pages imply, there may be a general failure and collapse of long-term methods of time-reckoning, a need for a radically alternative chronology arises. But where lies the possibility of such ? Quantavolutionism brings to bear on the problem the abilities of great forces to compress astronomical, geological and biological time. By ...
200. Quantalism: The Big Picture [Journals] [Aeon]
... is saltationism. Saltationism was the term used by Thomas Huxley for evolution at a discontinuous rate, sometimes rapid and sometimes not. [9 ] Although the term preferred by Stephen Gould for such evolution in spurts is punctuationism, [10] I feel that the common rules of terminological priority require us to honor Huxley's earlier usage. Together with mammoths, mastodons- one specimen of which is pictured above- exemplify the relatively sudden disappearance of Pleistocene megafauna. (Illustration by Bob Giuliani) The most dramatic manifestation of global catastrophe is probably biotic extinction, as exemplified by the relatively sudden disappearance of the Pleistocene megafauna, notably mammoths and mastodons. The most dramatic manifestation of its converse is ...
