... are now. The Egyptians, for example, lived in a cold climate and were moved to a tropical climate, where they flourished. The Eskimos of today probably lived in a tropical climate during Epoch No. 1 BP. They are now in a frigid climate and have survived because they have managed to adjust to their environment. The mammoths of that same period perished when moved to the arctic regions, being unable to adjust to the new climate. The Eskimos might become as prominent in the next epoch as the Egyptians were at the beginning of our present epoch. THE MIGRATION OF THE PRESENT ICE CAP WHEN the earth careens due to the combined centrifugal pressures of the Antarctic ...

... researchers claim to have made a breakthrough by analysing amino acids from bones in varying states of decay and conclude that the degree of contamination by environmental amino acids can now be clearly followed', even though they later admit that bones found in the same stratum are often preserved to different degrees. Interestingly, an example given is that of a mammoth bone known to be about 11,000 years old' which gave amino acid dates of only 3,000-4,000 years. Presumably the known' age is derived from radiocarbon measurements: it would be interesting to await developments and see if the latter are now to be thrown out of the window.

... settling over lush vegetation, while green meadows and forests were transformed into deserts. In a few awful moments, civilizations collapsed. Species were exterminated in continental sweeps of mud, rock and sea. Tidal waves crushed even the largest beasts, tossing their bones into tangled heaps in valleys and rock fissures, preserved beneath mountains of sediment. The mammoths of Siberia were instantly frozen and buried. Surviving generations recorded these events by every means available: in myths and legends, in temples and monuments to the planetary gods, precise charts of the heavens, sacrificial rites, astrological canons, detailed records of planetary movements, and tragic lamentations amid fallen cities and destroyed institutions. "ALL IS ...

... of a cold north wind in the Gulf Coast of North America in the winter of 1924-25 which caused cattle to move to the warm lakes and estuaries which were engulfed in fog. One and a quarter million cattle died in the mud, creating a carcass assemblage covering 200,000 square metres. This sort of event hardly explains away the mammoth or mastodon extinctions, but it does show that one has to be careful in interpreting fossil assemblages. Wonderful Life source: Daily Telegraph 22.1 .90, p. 14 Stephen Jay Gould's recently published book with the title Wonderful Life, his discourses on the animals of the Burgess Shale deposits of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, seem ...

... of such letters. The favorable correspondence received by Deg and the ABS in 1963 and 1966 exceeded the unfavorable mail received by Macmillan Company in what the Company regarded as a massive assault upon its integrity and its ability to do business with scientists. The gutless behavior of well-intentioned institutions is proverbial; Senator Joe McCarthy and a few assistants reduced the mammoth State Department and other agencies of the Federal Government to terrorized submission around the same time. Some figures in the forefront of scientific method in the social sciences, then or later, responded to the issue forcibly, a "most interesting" from Herbert Simon; "used to very good teaching purposes" from Bernard Barber; "both ...
256. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... leaving his audience to ponder on all these anomalies which indicated that Earth had suffered at least one major catastrophe in the historical past and that people had been able to record the planet before it happened. It was pointed out that those who scoff at theories of crustal displacement still have no alternative sensible explanation for the evidence of the thousands of mammoth remains frozen and buried at a latitude they could not have survived in. Alasdair's presentation was neatly rounded off by Eric Cooley auctioning off, for Society funds, a replica Piri Re'is map he had purchased in Istanbul. After a short break, Trevor Palmer led us through the history of ideas on human evolution, showing that, just ...
... cloud of solar hydrogen gas, ten million miles across and still trailing halfway back to the Sun, 93 million miles away, collided with the Earth at a speed of four thousand miles a second. "Though inaudible and invisible, the collision started a violent chain of disturbances on and around the Earth, an electric and magnetic storm of mammoth proportions. Compass needles wavered erratically. For hours, all long-distance radio communications were blacked out. Teletypes printed gibberish. Overhead, sheets of flaming-red northern lights flashed in the night sky, bright enough to be seen through overcast and clouds. Electric lights flickered in farmhouses as if a thunderstorm raged, yet the air and sky were clear ...

... Ares (Greek) `ma orah, or `ma owr (Hebrew), and Horus (Egyptian). OCTOBER 24. Genesis records Noah's Flood catastrophe as (a ) beginning on our October 24, the old Chaldean calendar, Tishri 17. Earlier and later catastrophes also seemed to have arrived in the mid autumn. Siberia's quick-frozen mammoths contain vegetation in their mouths, still fresh and unfrozen, in the "seed season" (autumn) of the year. (b ) According to a source in Ginzberg, October 24 was during the week historically that featured "The Long Day of Joshua," with its scenes of cosmic chaos. And (c ) October ...

... rotation, might be expected to deepen the global ocean in some places more than in others, but nowhere to permit land to break the oceanic surface.) Consequently, one would not expect to encounter plants, snails, insects, or terrestrial vertebrates such as man. Paleontologists, of course, would expect to find no fossil dinosaurs, mammoths, or moas. They could reasonably expect to find no fossils at all, since fossilization is an exceptional, rather than a uniformistic, process. Geologists, even if endowed with futuristic diving and drilling gear, could not count on finding earth strata, such as those that mark off geological eras, periods and epochs because there is ...
... as the axis. Auburn no longer possesses cliffs, their place being taken by sand dunes held together by mat-grass. At Atwick, Skipsea, and Barnston along the coast are lacustrine deposits and peat beds, thus marking a position of considerable meres and a coastline far to the east at a former time. Atwick has produced remains of the mammoth and other extinct mammalia. In February 1927, during heavy seas the coast between Hornsea and Withernsea was badly damaged, and at Aldbrough, between the two, it was complained that pieces of cliff as large as putting greens were breaking off and being swept away. Over a mile, where wooden bungalows once stretched in a line, ...
