*Weekly Science Report*

*April 26, 2019*

*“That’s my point Timeson you can view America’s problems as our own and
say screw the rest of the world, we can manage just fine on our own.  Or we
can look into every corner of the world and maybe, maybe learn some
lessons.  Lessons that will benefit our children”*

The Philanthropist

Introduction

Steve Detwiler created this publication with the support of Graham Hancock
and the late John Anthony West to share news and information on various

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.
