We must act boldly, and we must act now.?* John Kerry 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.
