It is the only way we can reach more people. That, if anything, is AEON's agenda. MORE ON THE ORIGIN OF MAN AND LANGUAGE Roger W. Wescott, from Southbury, Connecticut, writes: I appreciate and admire the moderate tone of James Strickling's response (1 ) to my critique (2 ) of his article on the origin of language. (3 ) And I regret that I failed to note his core argument that speech, as opposed to non-vocal manual signing, was probably ...
153. "Cenocatastrophism" [Articles]
... is to borrow credence. This credence will not be consolidated until many further books are written on separate myth-systems by researchers versed in them, who are ready to make the time-consuming transition from comparative catastrophist mythology to assessment of each mythsystem in its own terms. The result of such transitions cannot but be sobering. They will inevitably dramatize what Roger Wescott has called the "indeterminacy" of mythology alone as a source of precise information about sequences of celestial events over a long period of time. Myth-systems change to meet a culture's needs over time, and the commonest form of change is not to eliminate a mythical element but to reinterpret it. An element which was used to give an ...

And if exploration lends support to common lineages, two crucial questions arise: 1) can you see anything in the familiar natural world which might have prompted the full complex of relationships? 2) if you grant the Saturn model, would you EXPECT such relationships?- CATASTROPHIC WORD ORIGINS A Kroniatalk Discussion Roger Wescott said (previously): .. .

It's the conceptual sclerosis that's keeping us from really seeing 99% of reality. Mel Acheson thoth@whidbey.com- MYTHIC ROOTS OF LANGUAGE part II By Dave Talbott Roger Wescott says: The word "comma" has a root "kop" (" to strike or mark").

157. Intensity, Scope and Suddenness [Books] [de Grazia books]
... occur evidence of "Plinian outbursts simultaneously of 20+ volcanoes anywhere on earth." This figure is modest; yet it would indicate exoterrestrialism; few volcanologists would deny the repeated occurrence of such phenomena and some might dwell upon much grander episodes. Earlier we have sought evidence of fall-out. The archives of anomalistics, as R.W . Wescott has employed the word [5 ], and which William James referred to as "the unclassified residuum," are replete with minor cataclysms, many of them traceable back to an origin on Earth, others patently exoterrestrial, and some of questionable origins. One might here venture in search of "Cataclysms of water, minerals, fluids ...

... conference was held at one of Portland's Red Lion Inns which happened to be set against a backdrop of catstrophe as the Columbia River was within 3 feet of flood crest just outside the meeting hall. Many attendees came from distant locations around the world- Australia, Germany, Belgium, England, Malaysia, and Canada. William Mullen and Roger Wescott stood out in my mind for their energetic and erudite presentations. Wallace Thornhill presented some brilliant synthesizing of plasma physics as operant in intergalactic and interplanetary space- a potential revolution in its own right. The Saturnians- Dave, Ev and Dwardu presented a salvo of compelling mythological work which we are hoping to take on the road to the ...

This also marks the sunrise and, on the strength of some star alignments, Eddy calculated that the observatory must have been built somewhere between 150 B.C . and 300 A.D . [Footnote: *See R. W. Wescott, "Ancient Transatlantic Contacts?", KRONOS III:1 (August, 1977), pp. 86-89. - The Ed.] Certain statements in Fell's work are worthy of notice in connection with Stonehenge as the information they provide may contain a connecting link between the solar calendar circle in Britain and those now being investigated in ...
160. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... Diplodocus, and Triceratops may all have been mammals (p . 92). Furthermore, Velikovsky wrote: "The large pelvis of brontosaurus suggests that this monster might have have given birth to its young and did not lay eggs" (emphasis added). Despite some terminological errors and a confusion of typology with phylogeny, Roger W. Wescott, a Professor of Anthropology, found Velikovsky's essay to be "an otherwise brilliant insight...not just years but decades ahead of the specialists- in this case, the herpetologists" (KRONOS II:3 , pp. 84-85). Years later, in the August 1988 issue of Discover (Vol. 9, No ...

162. Radiocarbon Dating The Extinction [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... did the historians embrace this discovery and the fact that radiocarbon buttressed it? Of course not. Although the discovery was made in the late 1960's, the academic scholars were vehement in denying this new civilization. The lesson to be learned is that radiocarbon dating is not employed to test theories, but to support them. As Dr. Roger Wescott told me when I spoke with him by telephone about this on April 17, 1997, radiocarbon always gives a scattered set of dates. The theorists then pick the ones that they believe to be correct. In essence, no evidence from Carbon-14 dating can be fully incorporated by the establishment if it fails to support the dogma of these ...

As the crown of reptilian creation, the "terrible lizards" had in fact some mammalian attributes.** These very characteristics gave them an adaptive, survival, and reproductive advantage for millions of years.

Wescott, "Typology, Phylogeny, and Viviparity: A Note on the Taxonomy of Dinosaurs," KRONOS II, 3 (Feb., 1977), pp. 84-85.] Arguments for the warm-blooded dinosaur theory had been given by other naturalists, notably by John Ostrom and Robert T. Bakker. In his remarkable book, Adrian ...

... the problems inherent in mythological identifications tends to be self-confident- but not, as Isenberg would have it, "supremely" so. Meant as a criticism, I accept this as a compliment since I have long believed that whoever is not confident of his own assertions should not bother making them public. REFERENCES 1. R. W.

... , however, it is not at all crucial to the Revised Chronology as a whole.) And finally I follow Bass and Juergens in seeing celestial dynamics as focal for catastrophist theory. In particular, we need better evidence, both theoretical and empirical, for solar energy sources and for planetary orbital stability - or instability. ROGER W. WESCOTT Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics Drew University Madison, New Jersey U.S .A . I found the triple issue of SISR helpful in several ways. First, the Velikovsky paper on recent confirmations of his theory is important, and more material like this should be appearing in SISR and Kronos. Second, the astronomical section is quite ...
... September. Many of the "Anthology" papers were eventually published in Kronos, Catastrophism and Ancient History, and the SIS Review. But most of the Center's goals were never completed. With the demise of Pensee coinciding with the birth of its successors, many Velikovskians sought to infiltrate other organizations. A few, including anthropologist Roger W. Wescott, physicist H. C. Dudley, and Dutch chemist G.W . van Oosterhout managed to place themselves on the advisory board of Johan Kloosterman's short-lived journal devoted to Catastrophist Geology, where they were joined by other luminaries such as astronomer V. Azel Firsoff and mathematician Rene Thom. Other establishment non-uniformitarians such as Derek V. Ager ...

... value the power of the human intellect and imagination. He lived a rich and varied life during his 84 years, in Russia, Scotland, Germany, Palestine and the United States. It is unfortunate that for so many of these years he had to endure ad hominem attacks rather than intelligent evaluation of his work. Dr Roger W. Wescott PROFESSOR OF ANTHROPOLOGY AND LINGUISTICS, DREW UNIVERSITY (N .J ) The line between literal and figurative truth has never seemed to me to be as sharp as commonly supposed.

Robert Anton Wilson describes one of these peccadillos thus: "Consider next the high temperature of Venus (480 C). As Dr. Roger Wescott and others have pointed out, Dr. Velikovsky predicted a temperature in this range for Venus when astronomical orthodoxy believed that planet much, much colder. Sagan tries to avoid giving Dr. Velikovsky credit for this confirmation of his model by claiming many' had predicted a high temperature before the Venus flyby. Actually, he only names one ...
