Evolutionary Development Mapped!

China: Scientists Uncover Mysteries of Early Life Evolution on Earth! (20.12.2024)

The research has revealed that life’s evolution from simple to complex in about 1.5 billion years is not a linear process but a pattern of alternating long-term stagnation and relatively rapid growth.

The results also highlighted the profound effects of sudden environmental shifts, such as temperature and oxygen level, on early complex life, offering crucial implications for studying alien life in harsh conditions and evaluating the future habitability of Earth, said Tang Qing from Nanjing University, the first author and one of the corresponding authors of the paper.

A peer-reviewer praised the work as “a long overdue paper to examine the fossil record of the Proterozoic,” which will make for “a plethora of papers following [its] publication.”

China: Landmark “Transitional” Human Evolution Fossil Found! (8.12.2024)

The foot metatarsal bone found this year is the only one unearthed in China, and it could provide important information in studying both how the ancients walked and their height, Wu said.

In addition, the finely crafted stone tools found at Hualongdong show the relatively high technical level of the Hualongdong cave people 300,000 years ago. They were very intelligent, and had evolved towards the stage of Homo sapiens, according to Wu.

“The Hualongdong humans were the earliest ancient humans in East Asia who exhibited the most characteristics of Homo sapiens, and were at a key turning point in the evolution from ancient humans towards modern humans. The Hualongdong site will provide a wealth of information on how modern humans evolved,” said Liu Wu, another researcher with the IVPP, who has conducted excavations at the site for more than a decade.

Southport: Dispelling Far-Right Lies and Myths – the Victim – Alice da Silva Aguiar – is NOT White! (9.8.2024)

Its etymology comes from the Latin word “L’Aquillare”, translating to “Haunt of the Eagle”, “Of the Eagle”, or perhaps “Place of the Eagle”, etc. Local names such as these originally denoted the proprietorship of a village or estate. In this regard, many of these Spanish local names reflect Arabic descriptive words or place-names. This is because the Islamic “Moors” (Black Africans and Middle Eastern Arabs) conquered Spain between the 8th – 12th centuries. Even the apparent middle name of “da Silva” seems to denote the migration of the family from Spain into Portugal – as this is also used as a surname amongst the Portuguese. The surname “Da Silva” was first found in the town of “Silva” in the Portuguese province of Valenca do Minho. The name of the town is derived from the Portuguese word “Silva” which means ‘”forest” – and indicating that the area was once heavily forested. The surname “Da Silva” means “Of the Forest” – or “From the Forest”. Of course, this individual’s entire family name could be “Da Silva Aguiar” – meaning the “Forest Haunted by an Eagle”. The Moorish “Eagle” people of Spanish descent had finally settled in the Portuguese “Forest”!

Old Testament (Torah): Origin of the Moabites & Ammonites – Yet Another Tale of Biblical Incest! (8.4.2024)

This practice of humility has survived down through the ages in the traditions of Christian monasticism which exist within Roman Catholicism and the various Orthodox lineages (all practicing celibacy and rejecting any form of sexual contact). Christianity as we know it today dates from around 350 CE and the fixing of the received Bible. This process built on the fixing of the Jewish Bible which occurred in 100 CE – both activities rejected many Testaments and Gospels for political and theological reasons. Fortunately, many of these texts were discovered in the immediate post-WWII period in the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls (Palestine) finds – representing the Old Testament – and the Nag Hamidi Library (Egypt) – clarifying the New Testament. Not all of these texts had been missing – with some being known from other sources – and surreptitiously passed-on behind the scenes as it were.

Deconstructing Anatole A. Klyosov – A Good Soviet Mind Regressed by Predatory Capitalism! (10.6.2023) 

Anatole A. Klyosov (Анато́лий Алексе́евич Клёсов) was born on November 20th, 1946 – just over a year after the mighty Soviet victory over Adolf Hitler in the war mentioned above! He would have been 7-years old when Joseph Stalin died (in 1953) – and 10-years old When Khrushchev manoeuvred his way into power in 1956. Anatole A. Klyosov, however, would grow-up in the Socialist (Soviet) System and become a renowned biochemist. All his work up to 1991 was outstanding, remarkable and praiseworthy. Following the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the US flooded the post-Soviet space with far-right ideology and the most intense (and stupid) religiosity. This was designed to break up the Soviet notions of class unity, solidarity and internationalism! These attributes had to be replaced with individualism, selfishness, racism and nationalism! After 1991, Anatole A. Klyosov travelled to the US and was acquainted with ‘White’ racist notions that privilege the European ethnicity. His ‘White’ American friends introduced him to the chaos and injustice of US society and explained to him that the reason non-White people behave the way they do is NOT because of the historical, cultural or political injustices they have been subjected to over centuries – but rather because of their deficient genetic heritage (pseudo-science)! This observation is important for what is to come next.

Why Was the Dead Body of Karl Marx Not Cremated? (26.12.2022) 

What we do know is that the mortal remains of Karl Marx are believed to lay in the soil of Highgate Cemetery under a marble monument placed over the grave during 1956 (replacing an older and much smaller gravestone – the current location of which I do not know). Although Karl Marx is often (disparagingly) referred to as a ‘Jew’ – in no way was his burial in Highgate Cemetery in accordance with Jewish tradition (of respectful encasement within a spotless ‘Mausoleum’). At least on that footing we are safe. As there was no ‘Cross’ placed over his grave either – the idea of a ‘Christian’ burial can also be dismissed. We are then left with what looks like an ‘irreligious’ burial very much in accordance with the ‘Atheistic’ or at least ‘non-religious’ ideology of Marx and Engels! As this happened just before the development of ‘Cremation’ as a regular or officially sanctioned activity – the physical remains of Karl Marx still exist. I believe an interesting scientific study could be carried-out if these remains were exhumed and subject to extensive DNA testing. A far more secure and efficient casket could then be designed to hold these remains and they could be more securely interred – protected from the hatred of the Bourgeoisie, their religious lackeys and the political far-right!
