[Jawlist] Weekly Science Report 12-11-15

[Steve Detwiler]

*Weekly Science Report*

*December 11, 2015*



*“You never loose. Every effort you make is a contribution to success. The
work you start may be completed at some other time by some other people.
But when you make a sincere effort toward a good end, you contribute to its
ultimate attainment”.*

Elmer R. Anderson, A Man’s Reach




Introduction



I created this publication with the support of Graham Hancock and John
Anthony West to share news and information on various disciplines to
include paleontology, space sciences, genetics and archaeology.  My goal
behind sharing this publication has always been very simple, by sharing
knowledge we can make our world a better place.  Since the beginning of the
internet age we have always heard of the world being drawn together but
through my investigations I’ve never found a publication like the Weekly
Science Report.  This publication is my contribution to bring people
together and share ideas and discoveries with my fellow humans.



I hope you enjoy this publication and that the content challenges and
inspires you!
