... and G.S Simpson as further supporters of this point of view in the Western world. He rejects the interpretations proposed by them or us and believes that they contradict Darwin's teaching of gradual evolution, natural selection and extinction as a normal process. It is further noteworthy that such convinced Neodarwinians as Newell and Simpson are to be branded as Darwin renegades. Obviously the recognition of episodes of radical transformation in the living world, which forces itself upon any observer, regardless of his political persuasion, is widespread among the Soviet Russian palaeontologists as well. Stepanov lists a few representatives; in reality, however, their number is much greater, and even the ionizing radiation, first mooted ...

... case of a French researcher's work which seemed to prove that there was something behind homeopathy [3 ], Nature sent in a team of debunkers including a magician. In both cases New Scientist was rather more open-minded but both subjects have since dropped out of sight. More recently Nature has published a work which strikes at the roots of modern Darwinism and raises the spectre of that old arch enemy, Lamarckism [4 ]. This has not raised quite such a furore mainly, I suspect, because those sufficiently roused to pen letters to scientific journals on the subject feel that they can satisfactorily explain the results without recourse to ideas of inheritance of acquired characteristics, and as the experiments ...

... meters high' which has only just melted 5000 years later. The axe seems to have been an unlikely object for anyone to carry on a mountain expedition; a copper axe is more likely to have been a ritual object. Parallels with freeze dried mummies found as sacrificial victims on Andean mountain peaks spring to mind. Shattering the Myth of Darwinism?New Statesman and Society, 28th August 1992, pp. 33-34 and correspondence in subsequent issues. A new book by Richard Milton, The Facts of Life: Shattering the Myth of Darwinism was reviewed by Richard Dawkins (reader in zoology, University of Oxford) and generated a heated correspondence, including a contribution from Alasdair Beal. ...

... process on the bottom of the sea, and the bones of animals buried in the sediment become fossilized. Land animals wade in the shallow waters of the sea or lakes, die when wading, and their bodies are covered with sediment. The sediment must quickly cover the animals, and this is most possible when the ground subsides. Therefore Darwin postulated such subsidence of the sea bottom as a condition for the formation of fossils. On the other hand, the subsidence or emergence of the ground in the theory of uniformity or evolution is a very slow process, longer by far than the time necessary for a cadaver to disintegrate in water. The giant reptiles are supposed to have ...

... around, all perished. These facts, as I have already quoted, drive "the biologist to despair as he surveys the extinction of so many species and genera in the closing Pleistocene [Ice Age]."3 In the woolly mammoth the genus of elephants achieved its evolutionary perfection; as was already shown by Falconer and known to Darwin, the teeth of the mammoth were superior to those of modern elephants; and in many other respects their adaptation was perfect. The theory of evolution had in the mammoth one of the best examples of a species evolving in the struggle for survival by adaptation. Stone Age man made drawings of it; possibly he even domesticated some of ...

... Palms were found to have grown in northern Greenland, where now for half a year there is darkness and it is permanently cold. At some time in the remote past corals grew in Spitsbergen, and sequoia forests in Alaska; and it was early understood that the terrestrial axis must have changed its position. Airy, Lord Kelvin, George Darwin, and many others, including Schiaparelli and Simon Newcomb, participated in a long debate on the astronomical and geological possibility of a sudden change in the direction of the terrestrial axis, a debate that was erroneously thought to have been started as a consequence of Worlds in Collision. It was understood that such a change must have taken place ...

... writer was to present the issue fairly. The article began with this observation: A surprising number of the country's reputable astronomers have descended from their telescopes during the past nine months to denounce Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky's new book, "Worlds in Collision," in what has been described as the "biggest uproar in scientific circles since Newton and Darwin." The article described what happened: It is known that certain college astronomers threatened Macmillan with a textbook boycott. Two prominent men early associated with "Worlds in Collision" lost their jobs. In a world where crackpot scientific theories appear and pass unnoticed every day, some began to wonder: If there is nothing to Dr. ...
