[Jawlist] Weekly Science Report 1-22-16

*Weekly Science Report*

*January 22, 2016*

*“We face many problems, many of them man-made. It is our responsibility to
solve them. We need to use our human intelligence to do this. No one seeks
out suffering; everyone just wants to be happy. But out of
short-sightedness we hatch plans that bring us trouble. We need to find
human solutions. We need to consider the needs of coming generations.”*

Dalai Lama

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!
