*“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 Mans Reach

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
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!
