... his book Genetics and the Origin of Species (1937), he presented the early work on chromosomal studies of Drosophila populations and sharpened the biological species concept. This book demonstrated how to close the gap between theory and observation.... Natural selection is still at the heart of neo-Darwinism, but now we understand both the physical and chemical bases of heredity, we know how new biological variations are produced through mutations, and we have numerous mathematical models that predict the genetic changes expected in populations by various evolutionary processes. The study of evolution has unquestionably become a rigorous scientific discipline." (pp. 48-9) We might recall that Grassé's interpretation of this was "the ...
282. Thoth Vol II, No. 7: April 15, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... comment from Maurice Gilroy: I believe that if you want to claim that you are going to provide a scientific explanation of past events, your explanation must be a "bottom up" one, not "top down." Your explanation must be evolutionary in the sense that it must start with sound physics, and proceed up through whatever chemistry, biology, psychology, and sociology is necessary to explain the mythic description. To make Greek rationalist judgments about Oriental myths, and then try to figure out some plausible chemistry and physics, is working "top down," (and backwards). This may be necessary in the very early "searching for some logical explanation" ...
... impact. It explains the phenomena attending the Mont Pelée eruption of 1902,to which I have already had occasion to refer. One of the first symptoms of its first eruption on this occasion was a shower of boiling mud and ashes, and when it is considered what fundamental possibilities exist in such volcanic alluvium, containing acids, salines, chemical properties of various values, minerals, gases of many qualities and electricity, can it not be discerned that amid circumstances and conditions in the atmosphere we may only faintly imagine, there do not exist the real agency of the origin of organic life? Scrope, in reference to these lakes, says Vast numbers of fish are occasionally found ...
... cracked into numberless pieces. It has so little cohesion that the fragments can be easily picked out by the fingers. . THE UPPER BARRIER WAS BROKEN. 353 It is Constantly dropping off or wearing away. Its fallen portions constitute a part of the loose gravel through which the traveller labours, beneath. This substance yields to mechanical, and chemical agency more readily than the harder strata which it supports. It therefore undergoes excavation, while the superior and firmer strata of limestone project and overhang, until they break off by their own weight. Owing to this abrasion or decay of the brittle shistus, the calcarious rocks above, jut far beyond their present base, and threaten him ...
285. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... known climatic effects of much more limited vulcanism, and maybe magnetic reversals, favour the volcanic theory. Ultimately the impact evidence - particularly the iridium anomaly - may favour an asteroidal rather than a cometary impact.) 5) He... does not appreciate that... [non-cratering, e.g .

' Perhaps when they are reported we shall know what to make of them; Clube & Napier did not mention this evidence.

286. Recent Developments In Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Thera, e.g ., C&CR 1998:1 p.27, 2001:1 p.35, 2001:2 p.37, 2002:1 p.14, 2002:2 p.32 – but don't bother to look them all up, I will briefly summarise! Back in 1998, the chemical composition of volcanic particles from the 1620's BC in the GISP2 ice core was found not to be compatible with the Thera volcano. Hence the date of Thera was no longer c.1628 BC (corresponding to an unusual event detected in tree rings) and there was a move towards an archaeological-historical based date of about a century later. ...
287. Sediments [Books] [de Grazia books]
... surface to thicknesses ranging from the merely visible to a dozen kilometers in height, with the average for the globe at over two kilometers. Sediments have been classified by priority of deposition and anywhere from ten to hundreds of major and minor strata have been allocated positions, sometimes only after prolonged controversy, some only among certain believers. Besides containing chemical and mineral traces and distinguishable fossil remains, an estimated 80% of sedimentary rock are shales composed of mud or clay, 10% are of sandstone and 10% are of limestone. The old problem of sediments missing from the geological column became more worrisome with the discovery that the ocean bottoms do not carry their proportionate burden of sediments ...
... I have a kindly feeling towards him as a friend. At the same time that the American Behavioral Scientist plans were moving forward, Velikovsky was also becoming enthusiastic over recent developments on the radiocarbon front. On January 21, 1963, he wrote his German translator Else Fuhr that an Arabic professor at Princeton University had informed the Cairo Museum's chief chemist, Sack Iskander Hanna, of Fuhr's forthcoming visit to Egypt; on the strength of this introduction, would she agree to make the necessary arrangements for Ramses III's mummy to be dated? "It would be a great achievement should I be able to include in my forthcoming Peoples of the Sea a section on radiocarbon (performed) test ...
289. Eden's Flaming Sword by Isaac Vail [Books]
... for he was deathless. This brings us face to face with the problem of problems, and we may as well take it in hand now. The implication is very obvious that man was originally deathless in Eden because he was in a perfect green-house clime. But what do we mean by a perfect green- house? A house where solar chemism is controlled. We all know that a seed, as a grain of corn, grown where the sunbeams could not vitalize the germ, cannot be made to reproduce itself. It this world were today over-canopied by a vapor roof so that the active chemism of the sunbeams was shut off, not a germ could be vitalized. Also ...
290. The Origin Of The Moon [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... lock] anomalies follow inevitably. If we assume that Mercury originated by fission [from Venus], as has been proposed for the Earth's Moon, then tidal melting of both Mercury and Venus, massive outgassing within Venus...and volcanism and upheaval...are all necessary consequences. If the fission origin occurred before Venus differentiated chemically, then Mercury would get most of the iron, leaving it with a large magnetic field and [leaving] Venus devoid of one. (7 ) Thus, we have a geophysicist and an astronomer promoting a similar fissioning concept for Venus as Velikovsky proposed for Jupiter. Van Flandern points to the 3-to-2 spin lock [when Mercury spins ...
