... , repeatedly, during geological history. From a statistical point of view, iterative evolution seems incredible for a basically chance process (random mutations). It appears to be a high-sounding term, designed to cover up an embarrassing evolutionary problem. To add to the confusion foraminifera sometimes display different forms under different ecological conditions. Some of the supposed extinct forms could be odd varieties of present foraminifera, under critically different conditions. Some pre-Quaternary sediments, so classified according to index microfossils,...are found at the sediment surface and are probably recent sediments.(21) Foraminifera separated by different sediment levels and time periods disappear completely in the ocean. Then they are re-evolved into ...
402. Mercury and the Tower of Babel [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... picture of Hanuman, the monkey God, looking more like a cat but also resembling a crescent can be seen along with some of the information contained above in Larousse World Mythology p. 237. Horrific Mutations - Inverted Darwinism Velikovsky, in Earth in Upheaval pp. 223-7, describes how, as a result of cosmic disasters, not only extinction but new species came about. Thoth is depicted as an Ape; the survivors of Babel were transformed into apes; Hanuman is leader of the Monkey People. I take this to indicate that not only did Mercury resemble a monkey or ape in the sky, but that some children born after the cataclysm were deformed in such a way ...
403. Basinger's Lecture on the Eocene Forests of the Canadian High Arctic [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... it difficult to determine age based on macroflora; one becomes error prone if a single plant species is used for dating purposes. The field scientist thus looks in other localities. Oaks for example do not grow in swamps, and are found on cliff exposures. Plants not native to swamps appear to be geologically younger. Early Tertiary flora is extinct in North America. Late Tertiary plant life is much closer to today's plants. As for the path of the Magnetic North Pole, in early Tertiary time it was near the Bering Strait. It has since migrated roughly parallel to the present coastline of the Canadian High Arctic Islands. Basinger thinks that the Axel Heiberg fossil plants are part ...
404. The Rise and Fall of the Third Chimpanzee [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... theory against the evidence that they will surely find Diamond has ingeniously presented for that very behaviour to be nothing more than a direct result of our animal evolutionary history. From language and art to genocide and environmental destruction he shows that Homo sapiens is not unique in kind, only in degree. He succeeded in convincing me that the wave of extinction of large animals over the past few thousand years cannot be considered separately from the spread of mankind. He is also very convincing in his arguments that past civilizations often caused their own demise by ruining their resource base, such as the extermination of forests on Easter Island and Chaco Canyon in the US Southwest and even the shift of power ...
405. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the deeper innate religious strivings of mankind from religion in the sense of organised cultural concepts; only this latter could be considered as a torchlight on our past. Enormous global catastrophes caused by extraterrestrial sources would have engendered a collective terror. How would people have responded in attempts to handle their fear? The fear of personal death and even the extinction of one's tribe or society are likely to be innate, but fear of the destruction of the entire world would come as the result of cosmic catastrophe. The combination of all these Wolfe calls the Triple Terror. The manmade rituals and customs of the world's religions seem designed to pacify believers and ease this triple terror. Velikovsky suggested that ...
406. Did the Achaemenids Ape the Assyrians? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... from Achaemenid territories outside Assyria. Conventional scholarship dates the Assyrian pieces after Biblical chronology between -900 and -610. The Achaemenid items are dated between -520 and -330. From this chronological sequence the conclusion is drawn that the material and religious world of the Achaemenids is but an imitation of the Assyrians. We believe that, nearly a century after the extinction of Assyria, the Persians were digging up their cultural identity out of Assyrian rubbish. Yet even more bizarre is the Achaemenids' hesitancy to utilise their Assyrian culture in Assyria proper. According to conventional wisdom, the Persians took care to avoid the fertile heartland of their world empire. If all the non-Assyrian sources referring to a most active ...
407. The el-Amarna Letters (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... of Aton, interpreted as the solar disk, and who changed his name to Akhnaton. But shortly after his reign the capital city of Akhet-Aton was abandoned, his religion was stamped as heresy, and his images were mutilated. His son-in-law, the young pharaoh Tutankhamen, reigned briefly in the old capital, Thebes. Then the dynasty became extinct. Akhet-Aton had a short history of only about twenty-five years before it was deserted by its inhabitants. The time of the letters can be established with some precision. They were addressed to Nimmuria (Ni-ib-mu' wa-ri-ia, Mi-im-mu-riia, Im-mu-ri-ia), who was Amenhotep III, and to Naphuria (Na-ap-hu-ru-ri-ia, Nam-hur-ia), who was Amenhotep IV ...
408. The Glacial Lake Agassiz. Ch.10 Thirty-five Centuries Ago (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... of the glacial Lake Agassiz measured in hundreds of years and the melting of the continental ice cover that gave rise to this lake, of short duration but this melting must have taken place only recently: the erosion on the shores of Lake Agassiz indicates that it existed only a short time ago. Upham also recognized that the shoreline of the extinct lake is not horizontal, which indicates that the warping too occurred recently. Although this study of Lake Agassiz by Upham is over fifty years old, its conclusions have never been challenged. He also stated: "Another indication that the final melting of the ice sheet upon British America was separated by only a very short interval, geologically ...
... event symbols are solar' ones. Condors are described in zoological works as sleeping during the greater part of the day, being on the wing in search of food only in the morning, and especially in the evening. This may be why the condor's head was chosen to characterize events that took place at sunset. The toxodon has been extinct for a considerable time. A slowmoving innocuous grass-eater it may well be conceived to have been generally seen drowsing in the mid-day hours, and was therefore used as a symbol for events that happened at noon, the time when the Sun, culminating, seemed to rest'. An exception to the general symbolism was again the 16th day ...
410. When the Earth Nearly Died: Compelling Evidence of a Catastrophic World Change 9,500 BC [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... instead of endogenous. By ignoring it the authors of this book are forced into the position of using only old references and outdated theories which a geologist would laugh out of court, which is a shame because plenty of their examples are very pertinent to ideas of catastrophe. Much research has gone into the distribution of plants and animals, both extinct and extant, with the conclusion that continents now far apart were once joined, but it is precisely this sort of evidence which plate tectonic theory explains so well. These authors are stuck with nineteenth century theories of land bridges which became submerged in a great flood, which gives the book a taint of less respectable theories of vanished continents ...
