... Classics and contribute to various branches of knowledge without a PhD in one specialized field or another, and without belonging to one of the more prestigious academic institutions. What Heinrich Schliemann-yet another rank amateur-did for the resurrection of Greek tradition, Velikovsky performed for the entire human race: Nothing less than a resurrection and reinvigoration of our cultural heritage. Like Darwin, Freud and other intellectual catalysts throughout history, Velikovsky is not only important for what he added to the storehouse of knowledge, but for the bold new questions posed and hitherto unimagined horizons exposed. To read Velikovsky is to be catapulted into an entirely new way of viewing the world and its history. Just as, after Darwin, ...
122. The Continuing Evolution of Evolution [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . In the Foreword to the book, the science writer, Roger Lewin, explains why this is at variance with Darwin's view of evolution: "The mechanism of natural selection implies that a species' success is determined by how well it is fitted to prevailing circumstances, including its interaction with other species - the struggle for existence, as Darwin put it. A species that fails to compete may become extinct. When mass extinctions occur, however, these rules change. Whatever their cause - whether through global climate change or asteroid impact - mass extinctions elect as their victims species with characteristics having nothing to do with everyday success or failure." The Natural History of Evolution is ...
123. Cultural Amnesia [Books]
... through paroxysms. The subconscious desire of man to know his past was the basis of progress which led to the development of science. The aversion to accepting the truth about the past inevitably blocks the road. Scientific efforts are directed away from the right channels, and so science briefly progresses, and then regresses. For a full hundred years Darwin not only advanced, but also retarded the development of science. My work has also produced both a positive and a negative effect. Claims have been maintained that would not have been maintained if the scientists had not felt obliged to contradict the iconoclastic views expressed in Earth in Upheaval and Worlds in Collision. Suppression And Regression In postulating that ...
... 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. In 1959, the centenary of the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species by means of Natural Selection, the Modern Synthesis of neo-Darwinism, which incorporated developments in genetics into traditional Darwinism, seemed completely secure. Together with the contemporary geological paradigm, the Modern Synthesis was widely seen as representing the triumph of a gradualistic-uniformitarian view of Earth history over the catastrophist alternative. Evolutionary change was slow (an essential feature of gradualism), imperceptible (except over long periods of time) and progressive (though not because of linear ...

126. Beneath Bauer [Books]
... he would have failed to grasp the difference between Freudianism and the larger field of psychoanalysis. Despite all of these faults, Bauer would nevertheless feel (in his ignorance, incompetence and naivety), that he had usefully evaluated Freud, unaware that what he had done was not merely a travesty but a decapitation. A second example might be Darwin. Imagine that Bauer sets out to get "beyond" Darwin and begins with his early article Journal of Researches into the Natural History and Geology of the Countries Visited During the Voyage of H.M .S . Beagle Round the World, published in 1834. He would find in that work conjectures about "repeated exterminations" apparently ...
127. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... and merely as one of the halt leading the blind, ' I would suggest that scientists and scholars repair to the philosophical foundations of science and humanism upon which the disciplinary structures rest; upon reading and reviewing Plato, Hegel, Dewey, Bridgman and the like, and understanding the critical decisions of Galileo, Newton, Marx-Engels, Nietzsche, Darwin, Freud, Einstein and the like, they may prepare new footings and erect new structures. The history of science and natural history are composed of psycho-social-empirical problems, inextricably intertwined, approachable by a science that is neither hard' nor soft, ' but malleable. If few persons can master learning of such scope and depth, does ...

... objects being referred to. The potential for sound formation is innate, but the meanings of the elements of a language must be learned. Male mandrill. (After Paul Gervais.) Nonhuman primates are versatile, and among the most vocal, in animal communication, showing many features characteristic, but falling short, of human speech. Charles Darwin theorized that language originated in an attempt by the vocal organs to mimic hand gestures, a suggestion that has been called quasi-scientific. Had the idea been proposed by another, it might have received a more appropriate label. (From an 1883 portrait by John Collier, now in the National Portrait Gallery, London, England.) One ...

130. The AAAS Symposium on Velikovsky [Books]
... out in our discussion of Henry Bauer's work below. The real question is: Do scientists offer the theory that planets can fission from other planets such as Jupiter? Of course they do, and have been doing so for a long time. Patrick Moore, in discussing the origin of the Moon as first delineated by G. H. Darwin, the son of the great naturalist, Charles Darwin, as long ago as 1879, suggested just this concept: "Darwin started by assuming that the Earth and the Moon originally formed from one body, and that the Moon was thrown off as a fluid-mass. In a modified version of this idea, the Earth had cooled down ...
