... wide variety of hosts. [Is evolution sufficient to explain such mimicry among low orders of life? Ed.] (Barlow, Bryan, and Wiens, Delbert; "Host-Parasite Resemblance in Australian Mistletoes," Evolution, 31:69-84, 1977.) HOPEFUL MONSTERS RATHER THAN GRADUAL EVOLUTION? Stephen Jay Gould, who conducts a monthly column in Natural History, reviews the sad history of Richard Goldschmidt and his vilification by the scientific establishment. Goldschmidt saw the fossil record as woefully inadequate to justify the assumption of gradual evolution of one form into another. Intermediate forms between separate species do not seem to exist in the fossil record and, if they did, they would probably ...
532. Knowledge and Entropy - an Evolutionary Outlook [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... approximately every 80 million years. The fossil record, however, does not accurately reflect the relative diversity of earlier ecosystems. The probability that fossils are preserved and made available to paleontologists diminishes with increasing age (cf. Gilluly, 1949; Newell, 1959; Durham, 1967), and the upward augmentation of fossil taxa in the stratigraphical column might reveal the downward decrease of our knowledge rather than a real multiplication of living taxa with time (cf. Raup & Stanley, 1971). Diversity is likely to have grown during the Phanerozoic, but its increase should have been less than what it appears to be from the paleontological record. In any case, the present structure ...

The angled lines bounding the Late Bronze Age indicates uncertainty as to its position and the extent to which it overlaps the Middle Bronze and Iron Ages.

... . Syrian Arabic samak, samake, "fish"), in that the fish is seen as symbolic of a "spindle spinning out the cycle of life after the pattern of the lunar zodiac," (36) and that the Egyptian hieroglyph of the Djed pillar has a fish-tail like bottom triangle while the top portion resembles the spinal column of a fish. Figure 8: The Djed Pillar as a Hieroglyph in Egyptian Words (after Faulkner) The sixth Chinese lunar station, which Moran lines up with alphabetic waw, is pi, "a wall," which again involves the notion of "support." This is a derivative meaning, stemming from a basic character ...
535. Catastrophism and Evolution [Articles]
... standards that the detailed sequence of events might well not be apparent. Problems can arise because of the sheer size of some fossils, the natural and man-made disturbances of the strata, and the fact that not all investigations are carried out on the same site, so local variations can complicate matters. It has been suggested that the world geologic column would be 80 miles thick if all strata were present everywhere. Nevertheless, at intervals over the past fifty years, various lone voices have argued for a saltational (jumpy) mode of evolution or for the involvement of catastrophes. Of course, these two concepts are not identical: although a catastrophe might be expected to result in a ...
536. H. H. Hess and My Memoranda [Journals] [Pensee]
... organization I had to demand is a story by itself! In the fall of 1966 I spoke in the new auditorium of the Wilson School of Princeton University, under the aegis of the Princeton chapter of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The lecture was described by Walter Sullivan, science editor of the New York Times, in his column of October 2, 1966. As he described it, he first visited Hess to find out whether Velikovsky is a person of integrity. Hess assured him of my complete integrity and added something about my memory, ascribing to me more than I deserve. An unusual memory was actually one of Hess' own characteristics. Things spoken or ...
537. Thoth Vol II, No. 9: May 31, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... one astronomically absurd image after another. A star in the center of the "sun." A crescent holding in its hollow a central star. A crescent on the great sphere of the "sun". A sun standing motionless at the center of heaven. A "sun" occupying the summit of the world axis. A celestial column rising along the polar axis to support a great crescent "moon". A star with a spiraling tail. A star carrying inside itself an unexplained dark or reddish sphere. The theoretical problem is that, from one ancient nation to another, there is far more consistency to these "astronomical absurdities" than is rationally conceivable if they ...

539. Quantavolution of the Biosphere: Homo Sapiens [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the principle of super-position, the first and perhaps only quite defensible concept of natural history. Such hopes were dashed early, but the ideological stimulus behind them was so strong as to obscure the fairly obvious origins of rock and fossil discontinuities. Discontinuities (unconformities is generally synonymous) imply quantavolutions, whether treating of rocks or fossils. No continuous column of rocks or fossils exists. All => fossil assemblages that incorporate flora and fauna of diverse life niches, as a flying animal and a fish, or a hippopotamus and a reindeer, are evidence of quantavolution. Logically, and for other reasons, the rocks that contain them have been quantavoluted at the same time. Traditional geochronometry ...
540. Geological Genesis [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... specially strengthened trunks and good root systems. The dinosaurs produced the largest terrestrial animals the world has ever known. Some weighed more than 80 tonnes, as much as 20 large elephants, but old views that they were slow, clumsy animals have been superseded by evidence that they were fast, active and probably warm-blooded. The weight which a column can support varies as the cube of its linear dimensions and therefore the heavier the animal, the proportionally shorter and thicker the limb bones. The dimensions of an elephant's limb bones are approaching the maximum limits of size which physical forces permit and are already tending towards disproportionate thickness. Yet dinosaurs were of such a degree of magnitude heavier, ...
