*Weekly Science Report*

*September 21, 2018*

*“The only way to escape our dilemma is to put world law above the national
governments, and to make a parliament to create such world law.  We need to
constitute this world parliament by way of global elections in which all
people will vote.”*

Albert Camus

Introduction

Steve Detwiler created this publication with the support of Graham Hancock
and John Anthony West to share news and information on various disciplines
to include but not limited to paleontology, space sciences, genetics and
archaeology.  His goal behind sharing this publication has always been very
simple, by sharing knowledge we can make our world a better place.  This
publication is Mr. Detwiler’s contribution to bring people together and
share ideas and discoveries with his fellow humans.

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