... Homo sapiens by Homo erectus, it is interesting to note that "Most paleontologists agree on placing the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene at the time of the last major reversal of the earth's magnetic field." (48) We wonder what other phenomena might have been associated with this- and, specifically, whether this could account for the genesis of Homo sapiens. As to the supposed transitional forms, we hear from Kennedy that "There is, in fact, continuing controversy over whether individuals [from the Second European Glacial]...represent Homo erectus or Homo sapiens." (49) It is recognized that the ranges (variabilities) of certain characteristics of Homo ...
712. The Catastrophic Finale of the Middle Bronze Age [Books] [de Grazia books]
... occur if the revolutionary dimension were carefully provided for in the designs and operations of archaeology and human geology. The question all can ask together is: "What happened so as to destroy and reconstruct past worlds?" The question is the foundation to quantavolutionary primevalogy, as opposed to evolutionary primevalogy. It seeks its evidence and benchmarks in the genesis and destruction of cultures. ...
713. Marx, Engels, and Darwin [Books] [de Grazia books]
... intellectual history and histories of science (such as H. T. Pledge's Science Since 1500, 1959) carry accounts of Uniformitarianism and Catastrophicism, Darwinism, Marxism, the struggle between science and religion and so on to other topics under treatment here. There exist some excellent more special studies as well, such as C.C . Gillispie's Genesis and Geology (1951) and John C. Green's The Death of Adam (1959). The works of Lyell, Darwin, Cuvier, and many another contributor are of course readily available. The complete works of Marx and Engels are published in German and beginning to be published in English (in 100 volumes); meanwhile much ...
714. Racial Memory and Instinct: The Case of the Honeyguide [Journals] [Aeon]
... stands in the curious position of advocating a theory abandoned by Weismann and emphatically disavowed by Darwin himself. In his autobiography, while contemplating the ever-growing influence of Weismannism in biological circles, Spencer would declare: "I still hold, as I then held, that the inheritance of functionally wrought modifications is the chief and most exclusive factor in the genesis of all the more complex instincts and all the higher mental powers." (52) Darwin and Spencer were hardly alone in their defense of the Lamarckian view of instinct as racial memory. According to Mayr, many naturalists continued to believe in Lamarckian inheritance until relatively recently (c . 1930-1950). (53) But what of ...
715. The Origin of Language [Journals] [Aeon]
... massive electrical exchanges between the Earth and an interloping body triggered a mutational change in Neanderthal women who then gave direct birth to Cro-Magnon children. See J. Abery, "The Autumn Meeting, 1988," Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop, 1988:2 , p. 1. Zysman's theory was also presented in a privately circulated synopsis of Unraveling Genesis, thesis 1:2 :3 . It should, however, be pointed out in this respect that it is now known that Neanderthals and anatomically-modern humans coexisted for thousands of years. Meanwhile, James Strickling has elsewhere argued that Neanderthals should more properly be considered a different race of Homo sapiens- see, J. E. Strickling ...
716. The Uranians [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the mating of sky and earth excited concrete images in Egyptian tombs and on Magdalenian bones. In the Greek myths of the creation following chaos, Hyperion (" Lights") existed before Helios (" Sun"). Both the Sun and Moon are grandchildren of Ouranos and children of Hyperion and Thea [20]. Also, in genesis, light came before the sun and stars. In the Pyramid texts, the earliest extant mythological account, the moon is not prominent in the already then old cosmogony. The texts originate in the Mercurian period (Thoth is the Egyptian god) probably between 4480-4137 B.P . So we think that the Moon was present but cannot ...
717. Opening the Floodgates [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... is persuasive. The theoretical argument in favour of neodiluvialism is a strong one. Whether the testimony of the rocks will bear out the neodiluvial theory has yet to be seen. The time has come to go into the field and see if massive floods have left their signature in the landscape." Trevor Palmer, 1990 Occasional Papers Series Unravelling Genesis: an outline', parts 1 & 2 of a 3 part work by Milton Zysman (received March 1990), 24pp. Cost UK £3 , Europe £3 .50, elsewhere $6 .50 apply to Val Pearce (for address see p. 1) \cdrom\pubs\journals\workshop\w1990no1 ...
718. Religious Elements in Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... displacements. From his very beginnings, mankind has identified and sought to control the heavens and the gods, the mountains and oceans, the plants and animals. No other being on Earth is so ambitious; all others are confined to such rational activity as instinct requires for the purpose of survival and propagation. The human mind, disordered by genesis and at birth, has the immense problem of extending pseudo-instinctive (that is, voluntary) controls over connections with existence that have very little to do with survival and propagation. The human, for instance, will sacrifice (both in the functional and symbolic senses) everything- food, family, sex, lesser powers, safety- ...
719. The Etruscans and their Language [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... technology (from Hungary and Bohemia), settled in Illyria, then moved via Greece and southern Italy into Etruria. Others went via Thrace to Anatolia, and thence to Italy, some taking part in a descent on Egypt, where they were known as Tursha. There is a fuller discussion, in Mayani, of the names Tiras (Genesis 10:2 ), Tursha, Rosh, Rasna, and Tyrrheni. Paris of Troy, alias Alexander, is mentioned by Herodotus, II:114, as a Teucrian stranger. The vocabulary of Etruscan gives some clues to history and provenance. So far we have seen a few words which suggest eastern influence or borrowings. It ...
720. Reconsidering Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... a window. Sunday afternoon Milton Zysman: Let There Be Lights (plural!) This was an ambitious attempt to illuminate Milton's concept of the world axis and the mirror dome by means of a slide show with commentary, a development of the talk he gave to SIS a while ago, which is a chapter in his forthcoming book Unravelling Genesis. We saw a wealth of pictures showing the theory of the various electromagnetic phenomena linked with the notion of an ice canopy around the Earth in which the world was reflected; the auroral oval, which can still be seen in special infra-red satellite photos, and the axis mundi, which is a column of auroral light, with spirals ...
