*Weekly Science Report*

*June 26, 2020*

*“Time’s always moving on. Nothing can stop it. The question is whether we
use our time well or not. We can't do anything about the past, but what
happens in the future depends on what we do now. We can create a happier
future by remembering that in being human we are all the same.”*

Dalai Lama

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!
