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.
