... with human beings and animals. Reptiles were rare m Western Europe and vegetation scarce and un-interesting, as may be gathered from the study of Palaeolithic art. It was known even to Cro-Magnon man that the heart was the seat and centre of life, as is indicated by the fact that he painted a great heart on the body of a mammoth, and incised on representations of other animals spears or darts directed towards the heart. FIG. 31. Mammoth Painting (after Breuil) It seemed natural to the early thinkers that the living universe had a heart a centre of life, and that all the manifestations of life were connected with it. We do (after Breuil) ...

... those of Marshal Wheeler (1889) and Hugh Auchinloss Brown's Cataclysms of the Earth (1967), and, since both involved 90 degree earth tilts not consistent with the geological and archaeological records, were relatively easy to dispose of. But not before Henbest showed his own ignorance outside his specialist subject, claiming: "The death of the mammoths is no longer the puzzle it seemed a few decades ago. We now know they were arctic creatures, not tropical ones like the modern elephants: .. ." , adding that they died out gradually, not suddenly in a catastrophe. From a scientist of repute this just will not do, for none of these assertions is ...
203. The Erratic Descent of Man [Books]
... . As the Würm (Wisconsin) Ice Age came to an end between 12,000 and 10,000 years ago, extinctions of large land animals took place around the world, particularly in North and South America: North America lost 75% of its genera of animals heavier than 44 kg, some 33 altogether, including all its mammoths, mastodonts, gomphotheres, horses, tapirs, camels and ground sloths; in South America at around the same time, 46 genera became extinct [202,203]. This could have been partially due to the climatic changes, but another factor was undoubtably the spread of H. sapiens into new areas [89,202-208] ...

In reading this diagram, one should locate all extinctions at the terminal rather than the initial boundaries of time-zones. A more elaborate diagram would not only give more detail but reveal what the foregoing ...

... extremely unusual circumstances. Here we have a sample of the La Brea tarpits in California; for those who are interested, there is a little hunk of La Brea sitting over there on the table; you have some soft parts, hair and mummified skin etc., preserved in this bituminous material. Here we have of course the famous mammoth, its remains with the skin, the hair and all that attached. The preservation of all this is so good that they have even done studies of the cell structure and found that it is exactly the same structure- they have done serological tests, tests of the chemical nature of the cells and tissues and so forth- and ...
207. Northwest Indian Myths of Catastrophe [Articles]
... in Siberia and used it to clear out the megafauna who disappeared at the end of the Ice Age. The scenario, of course, requires that the Paleo-Indian hunters cross the Bering Strait, rush to Nashville or Knoxville to invent the new point, then migrate back to Siberia and re-cross the Bering Strait on hunting forays into immense herds of mammoths. The doctrine of evolution thus leads directly to the Bering Strait theory and now, in a bizarre twist, has led to the Big Game Hunters megafauna-cide. It seems quite obvious to us that immense tidal waves of catastrophic nature deposited all kinds of animal skeletons all over the world. Orthodoxy, however, insists that the animals " ...

... is the ocean bottom imagined by an artist on the basis of soundings etc., and it does not quite support this hypothesis of Muck because he thought there is a ridge here and a ridge here and Atlantis was between them and sunk, so it doesn't quite support that.- I am not even going to go into the frozen mammoths, but somebody has got to quit sweeping the frozen mammoths and the whole frozen muck of Alaska under the rug. They were quick-frozen, and we've just got to explain it. Either we were bumped into by an icy satellite like the ones circulating around Saturn now; something certainly happened to instantly tear apart and freeze an awful lot ...

... 40 pea-size snail shells in clusters in a cave in South Africa and dated to 75,000 years ago. They all have holes punched through them in the same position and appear to have been threaded into necklaces or bracelets. The cave is also famous for its abstract engravings on ochre, traces of which were found on the shells. Mammoth Survival (Science Frontiers, No. 155, Sept. -Oct., 2004, p. 3) There is a recent report of the survival of dwarf mammoths on an island in the Bering Sea up until 7,900 years ago; this supports previous evidence of similar survivals on an island north of the Russian mainland. ...
... , in Alaska, that bronze was cast in a metal shop unearthed in Siberia, both places well north of the Arctic Circle. There were human artifacts and cave paintings discovered on the New Siberian and Spitzbergen islands, and abundant trees which are currently found only in regions much farther south were growing on these Arctic islands on which herds of mammoth and other life forms fed. A pole shift responsible for such a change of climate would most certainly cause the Sun to appear to stand still in the sky. In conjunction, the Earth moving on its orbit closer toward then away from Venus as the great planet-comet approached and departed, the tilting of the Earth's poles would have made ...
