*Weekly Science Report*

*May 17, 2024*

*“As Valarie Kaur has put it, that’s not just a moral position, it’s a
strategic one: only by understanding what has shaped someone’s worldview
(and acknowledging their experience) can one ever hope to change it.
Engagement is not endorsement.  It is a source of intelligence.”*

Ian Marsh

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!
