* List of Discoveries Squeezing Evolution: Did you know that dinosaurs ate rice before rice evolved? That turtle shells existed forty million years before turtle shells began evolving? That insects evolved tongues for eating from flowers 70 million years before flowers evolved? And that birds appeared before birds evolved? The fossil record is a wonderful thing. And more recently, only a 40,000-year squeeze, Neanderthal had blood types A, B, and O, shocking evolutionists but expected to us here at Real Science Radio! Sit back and get ready to enjoy another instant classic, today's RSR "list show" on Evolution's Big Squeeze! Our other popular list shows include: - scientists doubting Darwin - evidence against whale evolution - problems with 'the river carved the canyon' - carbon 14 everywhere it shouldn't be - dinosaur still-soft biological tissue - solar system formation problems - evidence against the big bang - evidence for the global flood - genomes that just don't fit - and our list of not so old things! (See also rsr.org/sq2 and rsr.org/sq3!) * Evolution's Big Squeeze: Many discoveries squeeze the Darwinian theory's timeframe and of course without a workable timeframe there is no workable theory. Examples, with their alleged (and falsified) old-earth timeframes, include: - Complex skeletons existed 9 million years before they were thought to have evolved, before even the "Cambrian explosion".- Butterflies existed 10 million years before they were thought to have evolved. - Parrots existed "much earlier than had been thought", in fact, 25 million years before they were thought to have evolved. - Cephalopod fossils (squids, cuttlefish, etc.) appear 35 million years before they were able to propagate. - Turtle shells 40 million years before turtle shells began evolving - Trees began evolving 45 million years before they were thought to evolve - Spores appearing 50 million years before the plants that made them (not unlike footprints systematically appearing "millions of years before" the creatures that made them, as affirmed by Dr. Marcus Ross, associate professor of geology). - Sponges existed 60 million years before they were believed to have evolved. - Dinosaurs ate rice before it evolved Example - Insect proboscis (tongue) in moths and butterflies 70 million years before previously believed has them evolving before flowers. - Arthropod brains fully developed with central nervous system running to eyes and appendages just like modern arthropods 90 million years earlier than previously known (prior to 2021, now, allegedly 310mya) - 100 million years ago and already a bird - Fossil pollen pushes back plant evolution 100 million years. - Mammalian hair allegedly 100-million-years-old show that, "the morphology of hair cuticula may have remained unchanged throughout most of mammalian evolution", regarding the overlapping cells that lock the hair shaft into its follicle. - Piranha-like flesh-eating teeth (and bitten prey) found pushing back such fish 125 million years earlier than previously claimed   - Shocking organic molecules in "200 million-years-old leaves" from ginkgoes and conifers show unexpected stasis. - Plant genetic sophistication pushed back 200 million years. - Jellyfish fossils (Medusoid Problematica :) 200 million years earlier than expected; here from 500My ago. - Green seaweed 200 million years earlier than expected, pushed back now to a billion years ago!  - The acanthodii fish had color vision 300 million years ago, but then, and wait, Cheiracanthus fish allegedly 388 million years ago already had color vision. - Color vision (for which there is no Darwinian evolutionary small-step to be had, from monochromatic), existed "300 million years ago" in fish, and these allegedly "120-million-year-old" bird's rod and cone fossils stun researchers :) - 400-million-year-old Murrindalaspis placoderm fish "eye muscle attachment, the eyestalk attachment and openings for the optic nerve, and arteries and veins supplying the eyeball" The paper's author writes, "Of course, we would not expect the preservation of ancient structures made entirely of soft tissues (e.g. rods and cone cells in the retina...)." So, check this next item... :) - And... no vertebrates in the Cambrian? Well, from the journal Nature in 2014, a "Lower-Middle Cambrian... primitive fish displays unambiguous vertebrate features: a notochord, a pair of prominent camera-type eyes, paired nasal sacs, possible cranium and arcualia, W-shaped myomeres, and a post-anal tail" Primitive? - Fast-growing juvenile bone tissue, thought to appear in the Cretaceous, has been pushed back 100 million years: "This pushes the origin of fibrolamellar bone in Sauropterygia back from the Cretaceous to the early Middle Triassic..."- Trilobites "advanced" (not the predicted primitive) digestion "525 million" years ago - And there's this, a "530 million year old" fish, "50 million years before the current estimate of when fish evolved" - Mycobacterium tuberculosis 100,000 yr-old MRCA (most recent common ancestor) now 245 million- Fungus long claimed to originate 500M years ago, now found at allegedly 950 Mya (and still biological "the distant past... may have been much more 'modern' than we thought." :) - A rock contained pollen a billion years before plants evolved, according to a 2007 paper describing "remarkably preserved" fossil spores in the French Alps that had undergone high-grade metamorphism - 2.5 billion year old cyanobacteria fossils (made of organic material found in a stromatolite) appear about "200 million years before the [supposed] Great Oxidation Event". - 2.7 billion year old eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus) existed (allegedly) 1 billion years before expected - 3.5 billion year "cell division evidently identical to that of living filamentous prokaryotes." - And even older cyanobacteria! At 220 million years earlier than thought, per Nature's 3.7 billion year old dating of stromatolites! - The universe and life itself (in 2019 with the universe dated a billion, now, no, wait, two billion!, years younger than previously thought, that's not only squeezing biological but also astronomical evolution, with the overall story getting really tight) - Mantis shrimp, with its rudimentary color but advanced UV vision, is allegedly ancient. - Hadrosaur teeth, all 1400 of them, were "more complex than those of cows, horses, and other well-known modern grazers." Professor stunned by the find! (RSR predicts that, by 2030 just to put an end date on it, more fossils will be found from the geologic column that will be more "advanced" as compared to living organisms, just like this hadrosaur and like the allegedly 100M year old hagfish  fossil having more slime glands than living specimens.)  - Trace fossils "exquisitely preserved" of mobile organisms (motility) dated at 2.1 billion years ago, a full 1.5 billion earlier than previously believed - Various multicellular organisms allegedly 2.1 billion years old, show multicellularity 1.5 billion years sooner than long believed   - Pre-sauropod 26,000-pound dinosaur "shows us that even as far back as 200 million years ago, these animals had already become the largest vertebrates to ever walk the Earth." - The Evo-devo squeeze, i.e., evolutionary developmental biology, as with rsr.org/evo-devo-undermining-darwinism. - Extinct Siberian one-horned rhinos coexisted with mankind. - Whale "evolution" is being crushed in the industry-wide "big squeeze". First, geneticist claims whales evolved from hippos but paleontologists say hippos evolved tens of millions of years too late! And what's worse than that is that fossil finds continue to compress the time available for whale evolution. To not violate its own plot, the Darwinist story doesn't start animals evolving back into the sea until the cast includes land animals suitable to undertake the legendary journey. The recent excavation of whale fossils on an island of the Antarctic Peninsula further compresses the already absurdly fast 10 million years to allegedly evolve from the land back to the sea, down to as little as one million years. BioOne in 2016 reported a fossil that is "among the oldest occurrences of basilosaurids worldwide, indicating a rapid radiation and dispersal of this group since at least the early middle Eocene." By this assessment, various techniques produced various published dates. (See the evidence that falsifies the canonical whale evolution story at rsr.org/whales.) * Ancient Hierarchical Insect Society: "Thanks to some well-preserved remains, researchers now believe arthropod social structures have been around longer than anyone ever imagined. The encased specimens of ants and termites recently studied date back [allegedly] 100 million years." Also from the video about "the bubonic plague", the "disease is well known as a Middle Ages mass killer... Traces of very similar bacteria were found on [an allegedly] 20-million-year-old flea trapped in amber." And regarding "Caribbean lizards... Even though they are [allegedly] 20 million years old, the reptiles inside the golden stones were not found to differ from their contemporary counterparts in any significant way. Scientists attribute the rarity [Ha! A rarity or the rule? Check out rsr.org/stasis.] to stable ecological surroundings." * Squeezing and Rewriting Human History: Some squeezing simply makes aspects of the Darwinian story harder to maintain while other squeezing contradicts fundamental claims. So consider the following discoveries, most of which came from about a 12-month period beginning in 2017 which squeeze (and some even falsify) the Out-of-Africa model: - find two teeth and rewrite human history with allegedly 9.7 million-year-old teeth found in northern Europe (and they're like Lucy, but "three times older") - date blue eyes, when humans first sported them, to as recently as 6,000 years ago   - get mummy DNA and rewrite human history with a thousand years of ancient Egyptian mummy DNA contradicting Out-of-Africa and demonstrating Out-of-Babel - find a few footprints and rewrite human history with allegedly 5.7 million-year-old human footprints in Crete - re-date an old skull and rewrite human history with a very human skull dated at 325,000 years old and redated in the Journal of Physical Anthropology at about 260,000 years old and described in the UK's Independent, "A skull found in China [40 years ago] could re-write our entire understanding of human evolution." - date the oldest language in India, Dravidian, with 80 derivatives spoken by 214 million people, which appeared on the subcontinent only about 4,500 years ago, which means that there is no evidence for human language for nearly 99% of the time that humans were living in Asia. (Ha! See rsr.org/origin-of-language for the correct explanation.) - sequence a baby's genome and rewrite human history with a 6-week old girl buried in Alaska allegedly 11,500 years ago challenging the established history of the New World. (The family buried this baby girl just beneath their home like the practice in ancient Mesopotamia, the Hebrews who sojourned in Egypt, and in Çatalhöyük in southern Turkey, one of the world's most ancient settlements.) - or was that 130,000? years ago as the journal Nature rewrites human history with a wild date for New World site - and find a jawbone and rewrite human history with a modern looking yet allegedly 180,000-year-old jawbone from Israel which "may rewrite the early migration story of our species" by about 100,000 years, per the journal Science - re-date a primate and lose yet another "missing link" between "Lucy" and humans, as Homo naledi sheds a couple million years off its age and drops from supposedly two million years old to (still allegedly) about 250,000 years old, far too "young" to be the allegedly missing link - re-analysis of the "best candidate" for the most recent ancestor to human beings, Australopithecus sediba, turns out to be a juvenile Lucy-like ape, as Science magazine reports work presented at the American Association of Physical Anthropologists 2017 annual meeting - find skulls in Morocco and "rewrite human history" admits the journal Nature, falsifying also the "East Africa" part of the canonical story - and from the You Can't Make This Stuff Up file, NPR reports in April 2019, Ancient Bones And Teeth Found In A Philippine Cave May Rewrite Human History. :) - Meanwhile, whereas every new discovery requires the materialists to rewrite human history, no one has had to rewrite Genesis, not even once. Yet, "We're not claiming that the Bible is a science textbook. Not at all. For the textbooks have to be rewritten all the time!"  - And even this from Science: "humans mastered the art of training and controlling dogs thousands of years earlier than previously thought."- RSR's Enyart commented on the Smithsonian's 2019 article on ancient DNA possibly deconstructing old myths...  This Smithsonian article about an ancient DNA paper in Science Advances, or actually, about the misuse of such papers, was itself a misuse. The published research, Ancient DNA sheds light on the genetic origins of early Iron Age Philistines, confirmed Amos 9:7 by documenting the European origin of the biblical Philistines who came from the island of Caphtor/Crete. The mainstream media completely obscured this astounding aspect of the study but the Smithsonian actually stood the paper on its head. [See also rsr.org/archaeology.]* Also Squeezing Darwin's Theory: - Evolution happens so slowly that we can't see it, yet - it happens so fast that millions of mutations get fixed in a blink of geologic time AND: - Observing a million species annually should show us a million years of evolution, but it doesn't, yet - evolution happens so fast that the billions of "intermediary" fossils are missing AND: - Waiting for helpful random mutations to show up explains the slowness of evolution, yet - adaption to changing environments is often immediate, as with Darwin's finches Finches Adapt in 17 Years, Not 2.3 Million: Charles Darwin's finches are claimed to have taken 2,300,000 years to diversify from an initial species blown onto the Galapagos Islands. Yet individuals from a single finch species on a U.S. Bird Reservation in the Pacific were introduced to a group of small islands 300 miles away and in at most 17 years, like Darwin's finches, they had diversified their beaks, related muscles, and behavior to fill various ecological niches. So Darwin's finches could diversify in just 17 years, and after 2.3 million more years, what had they evolved into? Finches! Hear this also at rsr.org/lee-spetner and see Jean Lightner's review of the Grants' 40 Years. AND: - Fossils of modern organisms are found "earlier" and "earlier" in the geologic column, and - the "oldest" organisms are increasingly found to have anatomical, proteinaceous, prokaryotic, and eukaryotic sophistication and similarity to "modern" organisms AND: - Small populations are in danger of extinction (yet they're needed to fix mutations), whereas - large populations make it impossible for a mutation to become standard AND: - Mutations that express changes too late in an organism's development can't effect its fundamental body plan, and - mutations expressed too early in an organism's development are fatal (hence among the Enyart sayings, "Like evolving a vital organ, most major hurdles for evolutionary theory are extinction-level events.") AND: - To evolve flight, you'd get bad legs - long before you'd get good wings AND: - Most major evolutionary hurdles appear to be extinction-level events- yet somehow even *vital* organs evolve (for many species, that includes reproductive organs, skin, brain, heart, circulatory system, kidney, liver, pancreas, stomach, small intestines, large intestines, lungs -- which are only a part of the complex respiration system) AND: - Natural selection of randomly taller, swifter, etc., fish, mammals, etc. explains evolution yet - development of microscopic molecular machines, feedback mechanisms, etc., which power biology would be oblivous to what's happening in Darwin's macro environment of the entire organism AND: - Neo-Darwinism suggests genetic mutation as the engine of evolution yet - the there is not even a hypothesis for modifying the vast non-genetic information in every living cell including the sugar code, electrical code, the spatial (geometric) code, and the epigenetic code AND: - Constant appeals to "convergent" evolution (repeatedly arising vision, echolocation, warm-bloodedness, etc.) - undermine most Darwinian anatomical classification especially those based on trivialities like odd or even-toed ungulates, etc. AND: - Claims that given a single species arising by abiogenesis, then - Darwinism can explain the diversification of life, ignores the science of ecology and the (often redundant) biological services that species rely upon AND: - humans' vastly superior intelligence indicates, as bragged about for decades by Darwinists, that ape hominids should have the greatest animal intelligence, except that - many so-called "primitive" creatures and those far distant on Darwin's tee of life, exhibit extraordinary rsr.org/animal-intelligence even to processing stimuli that some groups of apes cannot AND: - Claims that the tree of life emerges from a single (or a few) common ancestors - conflict with the discoveries of multiple genetic codes and of thousands of orphan genes that have no similarity (homology) to any other known genes AND (as in the New Scientist cover story, "Darwin Was Wrong about the tree of life", etc.): - DNA sequences have contradicted anatomy-based ancestry claims - Fossil-based ancestry claims have been contradicted by RNA claims - DNA-based ancestry claims have been contradicted by anatomy claims - Protein-based ancestry claims have been contradicted by fossil claims. - And the reverse problem compared to a squeeze. Like finding the largest mall in America built to house just a kid's lemonade stand, see rsr.org/200 for the astounding lack of genetic diversity in humans, plants, and animals, so much so that it could all be accounted for in just about 200 generations! - The multiplied things that evolved multiple times - Etc. * List of Ways Darwinists Invent their Tree of Life, aka Pop Goes the Weasle – Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes: Evolutionists change their selection of what evidence they use to show 'lineage', from DNA to fossils to genes to body plans to teeth to many specific anatomical features to proteins to behavior to developmental similarities to habitat to RNA, etc. and to a combination of such. Darwinism is an entire endeavor based on selection bias, a kind of logical fallacy. By anti-science they arbitrarily select evidence that best matches whichever evolutionary story is currently preferred." -Bob E. The methodology used to create the family tree edifice to show evolutionary relationships classifies the descent of organisms based on such attributes as odd-toed and even-toed ungulates. Really? If something as wildly sophisticated as vision allegedly evolved multiple times (a dozen or more), then for cryin' out loud, why couldn't something as relatively simple as odd or even toes repeatedly evolve? How about dinosaur's evolving eggs with hard shells? Turns out that "hard-shelled eggs evolved at least three times independently in dinosaurs" (Nature, 2020). However, whether a genus has an odd or even number of toes, and similar distinctions, form the basis for the 150-year-old Darwinist methodology. Yet its leading proponents still haven't acknowledged that their tree building is arbitrary and invalid. Darwin's tree recently fell anyway, and regardless, it has been known to be even theoretically invalid all these many decades. Consider also bipedalism? In their false paradigm, couldn't that evolve twice? How about vertebrate and non-vertebrates, for that matter, evolving multiple times? Etc., etc., etc. Darwinists determine evolutionary family-tree taxonomic relationships based on numbers of toes, when desired, or on hips (distinguishing, for example, dinosaur orders, until they didn't) or limb bones, or feathers, or genes, or fossil sequence, or neck bone, or..., or..., or... Etc. So the platypus, for example, can be described as evolving from pretty much whatever story would be in vogue at the moment...   * "Ancient" Protein as Advanced as Modern Protein: A book review in the journal Science states, "the major conclusion is reached that 'analyses made of the oldest fossils thus far studied do not suggest that their [allegedly 145-million year-old] proteins were chemically any simpler than those now being produced.'" 1972, Biochemistry of Animal Fossils, p. 125 * "Ancient" Lampreys Just Modern Lampreys with Decomposed Brain and Mouth Parts: Ha! Researches spent half-a-year documenting how fish decay. RSR is so glad they did! One of the lessons learned? "[C]ertain parts of the brain and the mouth that distinguish the animals from earlier relatives begin a rapid decay within 24 hours..." :) * 140-million Year Old Spider Web: The BBC and National Geographic report on a 140-million year old spider web in amber which, as young-earth creationists expect, shows threads that resemble silk spun by modern spiders. Evolutionary scientists on the otherhand express surprise "that spider webs have stayed the same for 140 million years." And see the BBC. * Highly-Credentialed Though Non-Paleontologist on Flowers: Dr. Harry Levin who spent the last 15 years of a brilliant career researching paleontology presents much evidence that flowering plants had to originate not 150 million years ago but more than 300 million years ago. (To convert that to an actual historical timeframe, the evidence indicates flowers must have existed prior to the time that the strata, which is popularly dated to 300 mya, actually formed.) * Rampant Convergence: Ubiquitous appeals to "convergent" evolution (vision, echolocation, warm-bloodedness, icthyosaur/dolphin anatomy, etc.), all allegedly evolving multiple times, undermines anatomical classification based on trivialities like odd or even-toed ungulates, etc. * Astronomy's Big Evolution Squeeze: - Universe a billion, wait, two billion, years younger than thought   (so now it has to evolve even more impossibly rapidly) - Sun's evolution squeezes biological evolution - Galaxies evolving too quickly - Dust evolving too quickly - Black holes evolving too quickly - Clusters of galaxies evolving too quickly. * The Sun's Evolution Squeezes Life's Evolution: The earlier evolutionists claim that life began on Earth, the more trouble they have with astrophysicists. Why? They claim that a few billion years ago the Sun would have been far more unstable and cooler. The journal Nature reports that the Faint young Sun paradox remains for the "Sun was fainter when the Earth was young, but the climate was generally at least as warm as today". Further, our star would shoot out radioactive waves many of which being violent enough to blow out Earth's atmosphere into space, leaving Earth dead and dry like Mars without an atmosphere. And ignoring the fact that powerful computer simulators cannot validate the nebula theory of star formation, if the Sun had formed from a condensing gas cloud, a billion years later it still would have been emitting far less energy, even 30% less, than it does today. Forget about the claimed one-degree increase in the planet's temperature from man-made global warming, back when Darwinists imagine life arose, by this just-so story of life spontaneously generating in a warm pond somewhere (which itself is impossible), the Earth would have been an ice ball, with an average temperature of four degrees Fahrenheit below freezing! See also CMI's video download The Young Sun. * Zircons Freeze in Molten Eon Squeezing Earth's Evolution? Zircons "dated" 4 to 4.4 billion years old would have had to freeze (form) when the Earth allegedly was in its Hadean (Hades) Eon and still molten. Geophysicist Frank Stacey (Cambridge fellow, etc.) has suggested they may have formed above ocean trenches where it would be coolest. One problem is that even further squeezes the theory of plate tectonics requiring it to operate two billion years before otherwise claimed. A second problem (for these zircons and the plate tectonics theory itself) is that ancient trenches (now filled with sediments; others raised up above sea level; etc.) have never been found. A third problem is that these zircons contain low isotope ratios of carbon-13 to carbon-12 which evolutionists may try to explain as evidence for life existing even a half-billion years before they otherwise claim. For more about this (and to understand how these zircons actually did form) just click and then search (ctrl-f) for: zircon character. * Evolution Squeezes Life to Evolve with Super Radioactivity: Radioactivity today breaks chromosomes and produces neutral, harmful, and fatal birth defects. Dr. Walt Brown reports that, "A 160-pound person experiences 2,500 carbon-14 disintegrations each second", with about 10 disintergrations per second in our DNA. Worse for evolutionists is that, "Potassium-40 is the most abundant radioactive substance in... every living thing." Yet the percentage of Potassium that was radioactive in the past would have been far in excess of its percent today. (All this is somewhat akin to screws in complex machines changing into nails.) So life would have had to arise from inanimate matter (an impossibility of course) when it would have been far more radioactive than today. * Evolution of Uranium Squeezed by Contrasting Constraints: Uranium's two most abundant isotopes have a highly predictable ratio with 235U/238U equaling 0.007257 with a standard deviation of only 0.000017. Big bang advocates claim that these isotopes formed in distant stellar cataclysms. Yet that these isotopes somehow collected in innumerable small ore bodies in a fixed ratio is absurd. The impossibility of the "big bang" explanation of the uniformity of the uranium ratio (rsr.org/bb#ratio) simultaneously contrasts in the most shocking way with its opposite impossibility of the missing uniform distribution of radioactivity (see rsr.org/bb#distribution) with 90% of Earth's radioactivity in the Earth's crust, actually, the continental crust, and even at that, preferentially near granite! A stellar-cataclysmic explanation within the big bang paradigm for the origin of uranium is severely squeezed into being falsified by these contrasting constraints. * Remarkable Sponges? Yes, But For What Reason? Study co-author Dr. Kenneth S. Kosik, the Harriman Professor of Neuroscience at UC Santa Barbara said, "Remarkably, the sponge genome now reveals that, along the way toward the emergence of animals, genes for an entire network of many specialized cells evolved and laid the basis for the core gene logic of organisms that no longer functioned as single cells." And then there's this: these simplest of creatures have manufacturing capabilities that far exceed our own, as Degnan says, "Sponges produce an amazing array of chemicals of direct interest to the pharmaceutical industry. They also biofabricate silica fibers directly from seawater in an environmentally benign manner, which is of great interest in communications [i.e., fiber optics]. With the genome in hand, we can decipher the methods used by these simple animals to produce materials that far exceed our current engineering and chemistry capabilities." Kangaroo Flashback: From our RSR Darwin's Other Shoe program: The director of Australia's Kangaroo Genomics Centre, Jenny Graves, that "There [are] great chunks of the human genome… sitting right there in the kangaroo genome." And the 20,000 genes in the kangaroo (roughly the same number as in humans) are "largely the same" as in people, and Graves adds, "a lot of them are in the same order!" CMI's Creation editors add that "unlike chimps, kangaroos are not supposed to be our 'close relatives.'" And "Organisms as diverse as leeches and lawyers are 'built' using the same developmental genes." So Darwinists were wrong to use that kind of genetic similarity as evidence of a developmental pathway from apes to humans. Hibernating Turtles: Question to the evolutionist: What happened to the first turtles that fell asleep hibernating underwater? SHOW UPDATE Of Mice and Men: Whereas evolutionists used a very superficial claim of chimpanzee and human genetic similarity as evidence of a close relationship, mice and men are pretty close also. From the Human Genome Project, How closely related are mice and humans?, "Mice and humans (indeed, most or all mammals including dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, and apes) have roughly the same number of nucleotides in their genomes -- about 3 billion base pairs. This comparable DNA content implies that all mammals [RSR: like roundworms :)] contain more or less the same number of genes, and indeed our work and the work of many others have provided evidence to confirm that notion. I know of only a few cases in which no mouse counterpart can be found for a particular human gene, and for the most part we see essentially a one-to-one correspondence between genes in the two species." * Related RSR Reports: See our reports on the fascinating DNA sequencing results from roundworms and the chimpanzee's Y chromosome! * Genetic Bottleneck, etc: Here's an excerpt from rsr.org/why-was-canaan-cursed... A prediction about the worldwide distribution of human genetic sequencing (see below) is an outgrowth of the Bible study at that same link (aka rsr.org/canaan), in that scientists will discover a genetic pattern resulting from not three but four sons of Noah's wife. Relevant information comes also from mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) which is not part of any of our 46 chromosomes but resides outside of the nucleus. Consider first some genetic information about Jews and Arabs, Jewish priests, Eve, and Noah. Jews and Arabs Biblical Ancestry: Dr. Jonathan Sarfati quotes the director of the Human Genetics Program at New York University School of Medicine, Dr. Harry Ostrer, who in 2000 said: Jews and Arabs are all really children of Abraham … And all have preserved their Middle Eastern genetic roots over 4,000 years. This familiar pattern, of the latest science corroborating biblical history, continues in Dr. Sarfati's article, Genesis correctly predicts Y-Chromosome pattern: Jews and Arabs shown to be descendants of one man. Jewish Priests Share Genetic Marker: The journal Nature in its scientific correspondence published, Y Chromosomes of Jewish Priests, by scie

Spirit Halloween takes us deep into the jungle where life in cheap and rip offs are even cheaper with the Shaw Brother's The Mighty Peking Man. Email: WeeklyPodcastMassacre@gmail.com Instagram: @WeeklyMassacre Threads: @WeeklyMassacre Music by Dora the Destroyer

This week's pick is the wonderful 1977 Shaw Brothers King Kong rip-off Mighty Peking Man. Also known as Goliathon, a giant ape-like creature with a rubbery face is brought to Hong Kong from the Himalayas and exploited for profit. A rampage of mass destruction follows once it escapes.

This week we are leading up to the new Godzilla and Kong mashup by reviewing another Kong ripoff in The Mighty Peking Man! Is this peak so-bad-it's-good cinema? Or is it just plain bad? Listen and find out! Contact: stompthisway1954@gmail.com Website: stompthisway.wordpress.com The final track is "Could It Be I'm In Love?" by The Mighty Peking Band Join us next week for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire!

Hello, Kaiju Lovers! The most cited man on MIFV, John LeMay, returns for his all-but-mandatory-at-least-once-a-season appearance to discuss the second Shaw Bros. film we've covered this season: Mighty Peking Man. This infamous cult classic was a favorite of director Quinton Tarantino, and it's easy to see why: it's sleazy yet weirdly artsy. It feels like an exploitation film at points—especially with the gorgeous Evalyn Kraft running around in nothing but a goatskin bikini—but the special effects are remarkably well-executed thanks to Keizo Murase. Since it's John's favorite “Kongsploitation” movie, that is the first of two Toku Topics this episode, with the other being the Peking Man fossil, which partly inspired this flick. For full show notes, including a bibliography of sources, check out this episode's post on the MIFV website: https://monsterislandfilmvault.com/index.php/2024/02/17/episode-84-john-lemay-vs-mighty-peking-man/.  Read “Jimmy's Notes” on this episode here: https://monsterislandfilmvault.com/?p=2166.  Check out Nathan's spinoff podcasts, The Henshin Men and The Power Trip.

China successfully identified a fragment of a skull that belongs to an ancient human being who lived about 200,000 years ago, scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences said, adding that the discovery will significantly contribute to human evolution studies at the renowned Zhoukoudian site.中国科学院科研团队表示，中国成功鉴定了一个大约生活在20万年前的古人类的头骨碎片，这一发现将对著名的周口店遗址的人类进化研究做出重大贡献。Researchers from the CAS' Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology said in a statement on Monday that the fragment of a parietal bone was among fossils found at Location 15 of the Zhoukoudian site in suburban Beijing.7月17日，中国科学院古脊椎动物与古人类研究所科研团队在一份声明中表示，从北京郊区的周口店第15地点的化石中成功识别出一块顶骨碎片。Using new technology, including CT scans and 3D reconstructions, researchers at the institute recently identified the fragment among mammal fossils unearthed at the location more than 80 years ago. It has become the first hominin fossil found at Zhoukoudian over the past 50 years that belonged to the Pleistocene Epoch, which lasted from about 2.6 million to 12,000 years ago.该研究所的研究人员近期利用CT扫描和3D重建等新技术，在80多年前出土的哺乳动物化石中发现了这块碎片。该顶骨化石是过去50年来在周口店首次发现的更新世（大约为260万年前至1.2万年前）的古人类化石。The yellow-brownish fragment's thickness, curvature and size roughly matched those of a skull fossil previously found at Zhoukoudian, scientists said.研究人员表示，此次发现的标本呈黄褐色，其骨壁厚度、曲度和尺寸，可与之前在周口店发现的头骨化石大致重叠。Zhoukoudian has been a significant site in paleoanthropology, as it has yielded abundant evidence of ancient hominin activities.周口店是古人类学研究的重要遗址，在这里发现了大量古人类活动的证据。At various parts of the site over the past century, scientists unearthed the remains of early human lineage member Homo erectus "Peking Man" that date back more than 500,000 years, as well as of Homo sapiens "Shandingdong Man", identified as a primitive modern human, who lived just 30,000 years ago.在过去的一个世纪里，科学家们在该遗址的不同位置挖掘出50多万年前的直立人“北京人”的化石，还有3万年前的智人“山东人”的化石，属于原始现代人。Unfortunately, important fossils, including the invaluable Peking Man skulls, were lost during World War II when the Japanese Army invaded China and scientists tried to send the fossils to the United States. The skulls remain unaccounted for to this day.不幸的是，包括北京人头骨在内的重要化石，在第二次世界大战日军侵华期间丢失，科学家们试图将这些化石送到美国，但是这些头骨至今仍下落不明。All that remain are four fossilized teeth that were found during trial excavations in 1921 and 1923 and are being preserved in Uppsala, Sweden, as well as eight other teeth and a few fragmented limbs, frontal and occipital bones found after the war, the institute said. Scientists can only study those materials that were missing through plaster casts.该研究所表示，只剩下保存在瑞典乌普萨拉大学进化博物馆的1921年和1923年试掘获得的4枚牙齿，以及二战后发现的屈指可数的8枚牙齿和一些残缺的肢骨、额骨和枕骨碎片。科学家们只能通过石膏模型研究缺失的材料。For a long time, there was a lack of hominin fossils at Zhoukoudian that belonged to a period between Peking Man and Shandingdong Man. Before the recent discovery, a mere fossilized tooth found at Location 4 was the only fossil that had been dated to this period of time.长期以来，周口店地区缺乏属于北京人与山东人中间时期的古人类化石。在最近的发现之前，在第4地点发现的一枚牙齿化石是唯一可以追溯到这一时期的化石。Discovered in 1932, a systematic excavation at Location 15 between 1934 and 1937 unearthed many stone tools and fossils of various mammals that date back some 200,000 years.周口店第15地点发现于1932年，1934-1937年进行了系统性发掘，出土了大量的石器和各种哺乳动物的化石，这些化石距今约20万年左右。The hominin parietal bone fragment fossil found at Location 15 will greatly contribute to research on human evolution in the area through comparative anatomy and molecular biology, the institute said, adding that the discovery provides an essential sample for the study of ancient hominin in China.该研究所表示，周口店第15地点人类化石的发现，将有助于通过比较解剖学和分子生物学深入研究这个区域的人类演化，为探讨中国古人类的演化提供了重要的标本材料。Skull英 /skʌl/美 /skʌl/n.头骨Fragment英 /ˈfræɡmənt/美 /ˈfræɡmənt/n.碎片Fossil英 /ˈfɒsl/美 /ˈfɑːsl/n.化石

Darwin's original tenants of his theory as laid out in his 1859 seminal work, "The Origin of Species," were these: that all organisms evolved from a common ancestor via minor, undirected changes, and that natural selection determines which of those random mutations get passed down to future progeny. Variations that confer a survival advantage allow the creature who inherits it to live long enough to procreate, and pass down that change to the next generation. Darwin successfully demonstrated "microevolution" with his Galapagos finch study, showing that finches confined to a particular island would evolve differently shaped beaks over time, in accordance with their available food sources. Similar processes have been demonstrated within many other species as well, and few would dispute that such microevolution does, in fact, occur. But Darwin then extrapolated this process, assuming that over the eons, such tiny changes could allow one species to evolve into another. Leaving aside the philosophical objections we've already covered in previous episodes, such as irreducible complexity and information theory negating the possibility of this occurring, is there any evidence that it nevertheless did occur? If it did, the fossil record should be riddled with examples of transitional species--some of which might have been "dead ends," but many of which should have been ancestors halfway between one species and another. Darwin himself wrote in "The Origin of Species," "Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory. The explanation lies, as I believe, in the extreme imperfection of the geological record."  In other words, he figured that in time, and with acceptance of his theory and with scientists all over the globe searching for such evidence, the "missing links" would eventually be found. So, 164 years later, with belief in evolution dominating almost the entire scientific community, have any fossils of missing links been found? A quick YouTube search on evolutionary fossils presents the first arthropod, mollusk, insect, etc as "missing links." They're the "first" because of where they were found in the rock strata (where deeper is older). But all of the creatures presented are part of recognizable classes of creatures alive today, though those exact species are often extinct. This means they're the end of a line; they're not an intermediate on the way to anything we can identify. (Some of the species aren't extinct at all though, and the exact same organism is still alive today. This is what evolutionists call "stasis": no change over millions of years.) The only possible true missing link of which I'm aware is one found in the 1860s, during Darwin's own lifetime, called archaeopteryx. It was a fossil showing characteristics of both a bird and a reptile, and it is the basis of the widely supposed belief that dinosaurs are the ancestors of birds. Larry Martin, paleontologist from the University of Kansas, said in 1985 that archaeopteryx is not a true transitional species, but merely an extinct type of bird. According to wikipedia, twelve such fossils of archaeopteryx have been found, and all around the same area of Germany, encased in limestone. Since only 12 fossils of this same species were found in a very localized area, Martin's explanation makes the most sense. We should have found many more intermediates all over the world, in various stages of transition, if the hypothesis that dinosaurs were the ancestors of birds was correct. (We also wouldn't have expected the two to coexist either, if one were the ancestor of the other, but apparently according to both the Smithsonian and National Geographic, they did.) A few other possible contenders for "missing links" have been found over the years, but the case for each of them has been weak at best. One was the Java Man, found in 1891, supposed to be a missing link between humans and apes. All that was found of it was a skull, a femur, and three teeth. These were later determined to have belonged to three different species. Another was the Piltdown Ape, found in England in the early 1900s, also speculated to be a missing link between apes and humans. In Nov 1953, however, Time Magazine published collected evidence of multiple paleontologists that this ape too was comprised of fossils from three different species. The BBC later called it "the biggest hoax in British history." Peking Man was found in China in the 1920s, another supposed common link between apes and humans. All that was found of it were fragments of skull and teeth. Yet another was "Lucy," found in East Africa in 1974, another supposed common ancestor between apes and humans. Because of the structure of her knees, hands, and feet, which were not at all similar to humans, Dr Charles Oxnard wrote in his book, “Fossils, Teeth, and Sex: New Perspectives on Human Evolution” that Lucy was an extinct species of ape. It would be a decided understatement to say that the fossil evidence for evolution is underwhelming. One possible counter-argument for this is that it is exceedingly rare for an organism to become fossilized in the first place. This is because of the putrefaction of microorganisms, which consume dead organic matter. The Smithsonian Magazine writes that fossilization can occur via a few mechanisms: petrification (of bone, or wood), or from an organism being rapidly consumed by sediment that later turns to rock, tar, or amber, protecting the organic dead material from putrefying organisms. While most living things therefore do not become fossils after death, one would think, if Darwin's theory were true, that there should still be many more intermediates than there are recognizable species today. There's an even bigger problem than the lack of transitionary fossils. The rock strata defies the narrative of painstakingly slow evolutionary changes over a period of millions of years. Instead, even in Darwin's own time, he became aware of, and was troubled by, the contradictory evidence of the Cambrian Explosion, also dubbed the "Biological Big Bang." The deepest strata of rock, beneath the Cambrian, demonstrates only fossils of single celled or simple multicellular organisms. Then, suddenly, the layers of rock believed to correspond to the Cambrian period 13-25 million years ago showed nearly every phyla of animals alive today, fully formed. This is true worldwide of the strata belonging to this period. The Biological Big Bang raises several additional questions. First, what happened in the Cambrian period that allowed so many creatures to become fossilized all at once, when fossils are generally rare? In many cases the fossils found are even of soft-bodied creatures (The Qingjiang biota—A Burgess Shale-type fossil Lagerstätte from the early Cambrian of South China), which should putrefy quickly after death--preservation of these in such exquisite detail would certainly require very rapid burial. Also, land animals appear alongside marine animals in the Cambrian period all across the globe. What could have caused such intermingling of creatures that do not otherwise cohabitate? (A global flood mentioned in Genesis 6 comes to mind.) Darwin wrote in the sixth edition of "Origin of Species": "To the question why we do not find rich fossiliferous deposits belonging to these assumed earliest periods prior to the Cambrian system, I can give no satisfactory answer." Evolutionary paleontologist Stephen J Gould later said, "The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils." He went on to propose the theory of Punctuated Equilibrium, in which one species makes a large jump rather than the series of tiny changes predicted in classical evolution to explain the deficit of the fossil record, though this mechanism is philosophically even more fraught than tiny progressive changes would have been. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the first episode is the second season I revisit one of cinema's greatest rip off movies, A fine 'tribute' to King Kong and Tarzan, this film is a real treat. One I watched far too young to fully appreciate but I enjoyed it for the action, I still enjoy it now but for different reasons. What did new viewers think of it though? I also discuss my favourite Star Trek Movies and mention a few new cinema releases that I think could become cult classics.

In this latest episode, we "go ape" with the Shaw Brothers classic, The Mighty Peking Man...... ...."go ape"? Seriously?!?

Okay, you HAVE to listen to this message, "No More Monkey Business"!  In this critical lesson, we give documented evidence about the various  hominids or "ape men" (aka "missing links" between apes and humans) that have been used by evolutionists in their attempt to disprove the Biblical account of man's origin, from God.  We discuss, with documentation, the truth about all these pieces of "evidence" (i.e. Ramapithecus, Australopithecus, Peking Man, Homo Erectus, Java Man, Piltdown Man, Neanderthal Man, Nebraska Man, etc.).  This is AN EYE-OPENER, for this world has been greatly "hoaxed"!  We also discuss and analyze another great hoax that has been put upon the world - the age of the earth!   This is a lesson for you, your children, and grandchildren!  It is time for the truth to be known!

From our new podcast, the Disappearing Spoon: The so-called “Peking Man” fossils are some of the first ancient human remains discovered in mainland Asia. So when they disappeared during World War II, it was called one of the worst disasters in the history of archaeology. Now some archeologists claim to have tracked them down. The only problem is they're underneath a parking lot.

Every Monday we will venture into the thoughts and voices of those in the Christian mystical tradition in five minutes or less! In this Mystic Monday episode we hear from the Pierre Teilhard de Chardin SJ (1 May 1881 – 10 April 1955) was a French idealist philosopher and Jesuit Catholic priest who trained as a paleontologist and geologist and took part in the discovery of the Peking Man. He conceived the vitalist idea of the Omega Point (a maximum level of complexity and consciousness towards which he believed the universe was evolving), and he developed Vladimir Vernadsky's concept of noosphere.

This week, we look at the classic tale of a giant ape-king who is taken from his jungle home and brought to the big city--that's right, it's The Mighty Peking Man, who else? Joined by a Lady-Tarzan and armed with cheesy dialog and cheesier special effects, the Mighty Peking Man (and his screeching animatronic face) takes us on a hilariously campy journey from a stock-footage jungle to the streets of Hong Kong.

Exploitation films occupy a special space in film history. There are those who see little to no value in them, and merely see a farce and waste of resources. Others see a cornerstone of modern culture. To take something and make it absurdist is a tradition in how people cope in this day and age. And odds are movies like this week's episode helped instill that in us. But does that mean the movie stands well? Join us and find out.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds and your Friday Story Prompt with several questions carefully chosen to help you collect stories in the oral tradition or to spark your own writing. Either way, you’ll say: "Thanks for the memories!"Pierre Teilhard de Chardin wrote: "Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire."At the end of the day the heart is an organ of fire. It’s so easy to forget especially when we are awash in news about all that has gone and will continue to go horrifically wrong. In the middle of all this insanity perhaps we are getting an unexpected blessing: the chance to see each other in love. If I didn’t focus on beauty and love I would be lost. So perhaps this prompt is a way to rescue myself.Here is your prompt: What 3 things do you love? And how is it you are drawn to the things you love? Share your story with someone or something: your journal, your animal companion, the trees in the woods. All that matters is speaking what you love and holding fast to it like a knot in the rope.  NOTE: Pierre Teilhard de Chardin SJ was a widely influential French idealist philosopher and Jesuit priest who trained as a paleontologist and geologist and took part in the discovery of the Peking Man. This is the place to thrive together.

For episode 15 we had a new guest on the show, Marcus from Kingsville. When we recorded this (pre-Corona, which we laughed off as some distant threat) Marcus was on the cusp of fatherhood, and Phil & Pemmi from Ascot Vale had beautiful baby boy(you noticing a bit of pattern here?). Marcus is heaps smarter than both of us and raises the IQ of the show 10 fold by being included. We marveled at his myriad global travels and incredible multilingual skills, and to hear more about him we have an interview of him up on the Mad Alice Media Patreon page. Back when we were planning for this episode to come out in March we wanted it to line up with the release of Kong Vs Godzilla, well that's been pushed to November, but our Kaiju double header is here anyway. starting off with the Giant Ape focused one here. While the movie runs its course we comment on the lead actress' absurd costume choice (Mike won this round of where's booby the first time her breast accidentally fell out), how crazy the fact is that everyone in this universe speaks Cantonese, Kevin Smith, Google's deep fake and deep dream, the "incredible" films coming out of Uganda by Isaac Nabwana (who's films we will cover on this show at some point), drugged up Panthers and animal exploitation in general (especially the exploitation of giant apes and kaiju), Curb Your Enthusiasm, taboo sexual relationships, and the Shaw Brother's illustrious careers.

Merry Christmas, ya damn, dirty apes!  Let us not forget, BOW YOUR HEADS! Jesus Christ (Superstar) is the reason for the season!  To celebrate that fact, we're talking a winter break from apes and hanging out with JC and the gang, old pals like Mary Magdalene, Pontius Pilate, Caiaphus, King Herod, and of course Judas!  That's right, the ApeCast is taking a look at one of Geoff's favorite movies of all time and seeing how Jack likes it.  Geoff, ensconced in Alberta with family and friends also invites along Kong-spert (and sister) Erin Clarke, and Peking Man-spert and friend Andrew Saunders to bask in Christ's warm glowing warming glow.  We've all got a song in our hearts this winter, and it's by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.

In the early 1900s, archeologists unearthed a treasure trove of early human bones in the land near modern day Beijing. It was the most significant paleontological discovery ever made at the time. However, when the Second World War struck Asia, they vanished without a trace. Parcasters - This week on The Dark Side Of, we take on the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley!

We don't know if everyone knows this, but we here at TMCOAN are huge monster movie fans. When we find a fantastic monster movie we love to rave about it. Mighty Peking Man is one such movie, this movie is absolutely fantastic and fun. The effects are awesome and it is so jam packed with spectacle that its a wonder how it even made it on to this podcast, but we are so glad that it did! Thanks for listening, now go watch The Mighty Peking Man. 

The bones of our ancient relatives and prehistoric ancestors bear the puncture wounds, scrapings, and bite marks that tell a horrifying tale of predation. Who and what we are has been shaped by what we had to duck, run, jump, and hide from.   But if you really want to know what preyed on us in the past, look no further that at what eats us now. From the Talon Holes in the Taung Child's skull to the bite marks on Peking Man, from the Beast of Gevaudan to the Leopard of Panar, here are a few of the trials of life that we, and our closest relatives, have endured.   Cover Art: Oz by Ian Armstrong      

Hey Everybody! I wanted to honestly thank you for subscribing to Aging Is Optional Radio. Over the last six weeks since the launch of this podcast I have published eight episodes that have resulted in over 300 downloads and a global audience spanning from the united States, to Canada, Australia, France and Japan which is really exciting because I’m just getting started. I am so grateful that you are listening, that you are hopefully receiving value from the topic’s I’m discussing and that you’ll continue to participate in our community as we grow.So let’s get started. Have you ever had a near death experience? Have you ever felt like you cheated death or just “got lucky”? Back when I was around 16 or 17 years old my friend Jeff and I were driving up to Big Bear, a ski resort town in Southern California near Los Angeles, to go skiing for the weekend. Jeff’s family had a vacation house up there. I was really excited because it was going to be the first time I had ever gone skiing. We had Jeff’s car all packed up with clothes and food and assorted beverages. Hey! We were in High School! We took the back road which if you know this road, it’s really steep and winding but it gets you there faster. Anyway as we drove up the mountain we were listening to music and talking and it was getting colder and colder and a light snow had started to fall. The snow on the ground and in the trees looked beautiful. It had started to get dark and the road was pretty windy. All of a sudden we go into a downhill right hand turn. At that moment we hit a patch of black ice in the road and the car skidded across the road into oncoming traffic and off the side of the road and down a cliff. There was no guardrail so the car flipped side over side several times. We were flying around inside the car with all of our stuff for the weekend. All of a sudden we just stopped. We had hit a tree about a 150 feet down the mountain. We both were yelling, asking if each other if we were okay and miraculously we were! I had hit the windshield and jammed my shoulder. I don’t remember exactly what happened to Jeff but he was worse off than I was.We were able to grab some of our stuff so we would be warm in the snow. We tossed the beverages we could find out of the car. The car was totaled. And made our way up the hill to the road. Almost at that very moment a snow plow that was heading up the mountain came driving up. Crazy timing right? The driver seeing two teenage boys on the side of the road in the snow on a mountain road knew something was wrong so he pulled over. We told him what happened and he said that this was a dangerous spot where we went off the road. A year or so earlier a woman driving a car hit the same spot and went off the road and ended up losing both her legs due to her injuries. Around the same time a family of four went off in the same spot and they all died. How lucky could we be? If not for that tree would likely would have died. It really made no sense that there wasn’t guardrail there to protect people driving that part of the road. The tow truck driver took us to meet the Highway Patrol at a rest stop so he could take us down the mountain to get medical care and meet our parents. He also told us about accidents that had happened in that very spot. I’ve thought of that accident many times throughout the years.For four summers during college I worked at a Tennis Ranch in Big Bear and I drove that same road every other weekend up and down the mountain. Every time I drove past that spot my hands got sweaty and my grip got tighter. I had a physical reaction at the memory and being so close to the place where I nearly died. Have you ever had an experience like this? I’ve actually come to believe that there really are no coincidences. None. Everything happens for a reason and there is a larger plan in play. I believe that there is a force, a power, an energy, a higher power or God if you will, that is bigger than me that controls everything in the universe. That force has a plan for me and everything else. Accepting that makes life a lot easier for me to live life on a daily basis. Sure, bad things happen in the world and I’ve had my share of hardship but I accept it. I am not in control. My daily challenge is to be in alignment with that force or energy. Things usually work out better when I do. I was actually raised Catholic and went through the whole process from baptism to Confirmation. I drifted away from the church in my college years. Later I was actually married in the Catholic Church. And We raised our daughters Molly & Riley in the Catholic Church. I don’t have anything against the Catholic Church, I just don’t really align with it today. Over the last 10 years I’ve spent a lot of time studying about this force. I’ve been in mastermind groups on this very subject I’ve listened to countless podcasts and read many books. I actually go to a Baptist church here in North Dallas where Piper goes to school. I really enjoy it and I know as a result I’m learning a lot about another book that many of the other books I’ve read are based on. The Bible. But book knowledge and understanding is great. Putting the knowledge into practice is a whole different challenge for me.The challenge for me has always been about control. Can you relate? For a long time I believed for some reason that I could control outcomes. I’ve come to believe that this belief comes from my inherent selfishness. I think every human is a bit selfish. Some of us take it to the extreme. I used to joke that I have superpowers. Can you relate? Do you know anyone like this? Have you ever felt that you can will yourself to some outcome?I’ve had some very painful consequences, both family and business related, that have helped me realize that when I am selfish and thinking I’m in control things don’t turn out well at all. Maybe this sounds familiar to you.Over the last 10 years from my mid 40’s to my mid 50’s, through lots of personal work and study, I have come to believe that I’m really a spiritual being having a physical experience. I’ll say that again, I’m a spiritual being having a physical experience. This is actually a quote from the French philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin SJ (French: [pjɛʁ tejaʁ də ʃaʁdɛ̃] (listen (help·info)); 1 May 1881 – 10 April 1955) was a French idealist philosopher and Jesuit priest who trained as a paleontologist and geologist and took part in the discovery of Peking Man. He said “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” I believe we all are. The question is, do we realize it or not? nd the follow up to that is, what are we going to do about it?What I try to do is to rely on the spiritual force that is around and through all of us, throughout my day. To live without expectations. To trust that everything will be perfectThe problem is that sometimes when I first wake up in the morning my brain starts to go to work on the future. I start to make plans. Sometimes I think I’m in control again. I become selfishI have to recognize when this happens that I need to take steps to turn my attention away from myself and toward this force or energy. I have to let go of the illusion that I am in control. Than I have to go to work and accept whatever the outcome it. Over this time I have grown quite a bit spiritually but I still have a long way to go. Breaking old habits and beliefs takes time and effort. I find that my routine of starting my day with some spiritual reading, prayer and meditation helps me get out of my own head and to connect to this energy. I also try to end my day in gratitude. This helps me sleep with a clear mind. When I do I start and end my day spiritually connected and get into the flow I am more peaceful and productive. I am more connected to those around me because I believe we are all made of and connected to this energy. When I do this things usually work out for the better but I try to accept the outcome no matter what. There are many articles and studies on Aging and Spirituality but I found this article by Lawrence Samual PHD in Psychology Today most interesting. It’s titled “Will Baby Boomers Every Find Religion?”I have linked it in the show notes here:https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/boomers-30/201712/will-baby-boomers-ever-find-religionThe article goes on to say that “many baby boomers are becoming more spiritual as they age”, something that is completely consistent with the historical pattern of individuals finding religion in their later years. Whether greater spirituality is part of the process of becoming a more evolved human being or more about a greater awareness of one’s own mortality, boomers are pondering deep thoughts about the meaning of life and what might come next. That’s certainly true for me. What about you?For a good number of boomers, finding a little or a lot more faith is a kind of coming full circle. America was a much more religious place in the 1950s and 1960s, and kids were likely to get a heavy dose of traditional Judeo-Christian dogma. Organized religion was perceived as part of the “system” many boomers found to be overly authoritarian as they became young adults, however, making them look elsewhere to fill spiritual needs. The Baylor Longitudinal Study of Religion showed Around 85% of Americans believe in some kind of God, but only about 30% attend a church, synagogue, temple, or mosque, hard evidence of this cultural shift from religion to spirituality.Boomers’ gravitation to a myriad of personally defined avenues of spirituality reflects their gradual realization that they are part of something much, much bigger than themselves. Boomers are likely to construct their individual concept of spirituality based on their internalized belief system, overarching view of the world, and perceived role in life itself. I can really identify with the finding in this article. Can you?Do you try to live a spiritual life? Do you believe in a power greater than yourself? How do you incorporate it into your life? Do you have a spiritual or religious routine?As you age what part does it play in your life? How important is it to you?If you haven’t developed a spiritual connection why not? Is it something that might be missing in your life? So you have any thoughts you’d like to share with me? I’d be really interested in your feedback.

Last week we watched in awe as Ni Tien conspired to build a log cabin out of corpses in what can only be described as a Corpse Mania. Naturally the corpse pile was just a framing device for the cousin of a guy. So naturally this week we follow that guy into the mountains where we heard there was a Kong.. no wait.. and might joe... no wait... a Mighty Peking Man... on the loose.. lets see what happens.

Jack and Geoff are joined by returning guest Andrew Saunders to talk The Mighty Peking Man! And to our hosts' delight, this 1977 Hong Kong knockoff of King Kong ‘76 is much more than the sharply-ripened slice of cheese it appears to be. If you're a fan of giant apes, wild jungle girls, and/or swinging 70's Hong Kong, you'll want to check out The Mighty Peking Man by any means you can!

The site of Peking Man sets the scene in this episode of Travels in Chinese. Is it a monkey or is it a man? It seems one of our heroes isn't too sure....

Creating Across Cultures is a collection of stories about visionary women in China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan who defied cultural and social expectations to become leaders in the arts. Working in the literary, visual and performing arts, these women journeyed outside their cultures, engaging with the international artistic community. Their personal histories open windows onto the larger, historical trajectory of China over three generations, while their artwork delves into social realities and challenges of the day. The stories, based on personal interviews and professional archives, were written by a team of arts specialists, journalists, and academics who have made these accounts available in English for the first time. In bringing these 16 women’s stories together in one book, editor Michelle Vosper illuminates the value of the exchange of arts and ideas across borders and cultures, while offering inspiring role models for women aspiring to careers in the arts. Ms. Vosper joined the National Committee on June 26, 2017, to discuss her book, the women whose stories it details, and her own experience fostering cross-cultural artistic exchanges, in a conversation moderated by National Committee Vice President Jan Berris. For more information about Creating Across Cultures and profiles of the artists: https://www.ncuscr.org/sites/default/.... Michelle Vosper served as the first director of the Asian Cultural Council’s (ACC) program in Hong Kong for twenty-five years (1986-2012), supporting and organizing exchanges of artists from the United States and Asia. Ms. Vosper’s career began in 1978 when she became the first assistant director of the Center for US-China Arts Exchange established at Columbia University. During the early period that followed normalization of diplomatic relations, she worked with prominent artists on programs such as Isaac Stern’s film From Mao to Mozart and Arthur Miller’s Chinese-language production of Death of a Salesman in Beijing. She also travelled frequently in China as interpreter and coordinator for cultural figures including Susan Sontag, Howard Gardner, Alwin Nikolais and Jacques d’Amboise. In 1980 Michelle co-translated Cao Yu’s play Peking Man for its New York premiere.

The Mighty Peking Man (1977) begins a brand new APE-ril in Shaw Bros fashion! It may be yet another remake of King Kong, but it’s certainly got that Shaw Bros touch, with random love montages, monster trucks battling a giant ape, and of course, large-scale city destruction. Will all this add up to Jox? After […]

Portland Cement is a material that helped build much of the world in the 1800s and still continues to be a major component of construction to this day. Early Portland Cement Works were unsafe places to work, as was the case with most fields of manufacturing. Dismemberment, burns and death were a real concern. Three of these plants not only had injuries and deaths, but they are now reputedly haunted. Two are abandoned ruins and another is a world class haunted attraction today. We will explore the history and hauntings of the Portland Cement Works in Salt Lake City, Utah, Mahurangi Cement Works in Warkworth, New Zealand and Kansas Portland Cement Works in LeHunt, Kansas. The Moment in Oddity features Phantom Dragoon of the Delaware River and This Day in History features the discovery of the Peking Man. Our location was suggested by Atticus Wolfgramm.

完整文稿看周六微信第三条，你懂的呦~ This is NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Here is the news.Tanzania's anti-poaching crusade received a boost when China donated 50 special vehicles worth 1.3 million U.S. dollars for patrolling in the East African nation's parks and game reserves.The Chinese Ambassador to Tanzania handed over the vehicles to Tanzanian officials in the commercial capital Dar es Salaam.The Chinese government also donated mountaineering jackets, tents, patrol generator sets and mobile radio phones.The vehicles and other facilities will be distributed to national parks and game reserves across the country.The support came days after a Chinese delegation visited Tanzania to enhance cooperation between the two countries and share experiences in the management of natural resources, including wildlife.For the past three years, China had extended support amounting to 30 million U.S. dollars for wildlife protection in Tanzania.Tanzania's elephant population has declined by 60 percent since 2009.This is NEWS Plus Special English.Beijing police have detained six people in connection with a sex video taken in a Beijing fitting room that went viral online.Police authorities said the six were detained on suspicion of spreading obscene content.The police said one of the suspects, surnamed Sun, is a 19-year-old man from northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. Sun was suspected of posting the sex video at Weibo.com, a major micro blogging platform, while the other three were suspected of spreading obscene information.The video, shot on a smartphone, shows a young Chinese couple having sex in a fitting room. The off-screen broadcast indicated it was taken in a Japanese apparel retailer, Uniqlo store, in Sanlitun, an upmarket shopping district in Beijing in mid-April.The couple admitted having sent the video to some friend at Wechat, a mobile chatting app. But it was somehow hacked and posted on the web, drawing fierce criticism from web users.The police are investigating the case. The couple will face punishment if they are found to have deliberately spread the footage.China's criminal law stipulates that those disseminating obscene books, films, pictures and video clips could face up to two years' imprisonment, while those who make obscene products for profit could be sentenced to life. This is NEWS Plus Special English.The police in eastern China have detained over 20 people in the latest crackdown on the production and online trading of fake drugs.The public security authorities in Zhejiang Province seized at least 20,000 boxes of fake drugs and several tons of raw materials, in the crackdown that lasted for more than three months.The drugs were sold in almost all of the provinces across China, with total economic gains reaching 100 million yuan, roughly 16 million U.S. dollars.Among the best-sold fake drugs were slimming capsules and painkillers that contained banned ingredients. Most of the drugs were sold only at online stores on Wechat, China's most popular mobile messaging app.The police said an increasing number of people complained of health problems after using the drugs.Investigations found an illegal drug production and trading hierarchy that involved dozens of people working in Zhejiang and Guangdong provinces.Further investigations are underway.You are listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. The overall number of cases of adverse drug reactions last year remained on a par with the previous year, but those involving traditional Chinese medicine injections had a noted rise.More than 1.3 million cases of adverse drug reaction were reported in total, a year-on-year increase of almost 1 percent. Injections accounted for 61 percent of the total, up 2 percentage points.That's according to a report released by the China Food and Drug Administration, the public health watchdog. The annual report is a key reference for safety supervision over drugs on the market. The report revealed that traditional Chinese Medicine injections were responsible for almost 130,000 drug reaction cases, up more than 5 percent from the previous year, marking the most significant increase across all types of drugs. Among them, 7 percent were severe cases.Medical experts say that unlike drugs taken orally or applied on the skin, Traditional Chinese Medicine injections usually have more complicated ingredients and are used together with other drugs. Improper dosage or incorrect injection-speed are very likely to induce adverse effects.The administration has urged hospitals to exercise caution when prescribing Traditional Chinese Medicine injections, the main cause of the increasing number of drug reaction cases.This is NEWS Plus Special English.A man in central China has successfully had his severed hand restored to his arm after it was preserved by being grafted to his leg.The patient, surnamed Zhou, is now able to slight move his injured fingers, but his surgeons say he still needs further rehabilitation.This is the second such surgery performed by the team in a hospital in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province. The first such surgery took place in 2013.Zhou lost his left hand in a work accident in another city. He was sent to a local hospital, and was told he needed an amputation. Then he was transferred to the hospital in the provincial capital, with better medical facilities.Surgeons at the hospital could not reattach the hand straight away because the arm was badly hurt and the nerves and tendons needed time to heal.The surgeons grafted the severed hand to the patient's ankle to ensure the blood supply and kept it alive there for more than a month, before they connected the hand and the limb in a 10-hour operation.This is NEWS Plus Special English. A toddler in central Hunan Province has become the first person in the world to have her cranium successfully reconstructed, with the help of 3D printing technology.The three-year-old girl suffered from hydrocephalus, a congenital condition in which an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the cerebral ventricles causes enlargement of the skull and compression of the brain, destroying much of the neural tissue.The condition has left the child bedridden, as her neck cannot support her head, which has grown to four times its normal size.Surgeons at a hospital in Changsha used 3D printing techniques to create a titanium cranium, based on a model of her head.In a 17-hour operation, the surgeons removed a portion of her cranium, drained excess fluid and put the titanium mesh in place.Doctors used an adult-sized cranium implant, allowing room for the toddler to grow.

Now the news continues.New evidence has been found in an archeological site in Beijing, suggesting that the ancestors of modern human beings were able to use fire more than 600,000 years ago.The findings were announced after archeologists spent three years excavating the Zhou-kou-dian fossil site, in the western suburbs of Beijing.Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered a fire site with the remains of sintering soil, and burned rocks and bones.Some animal bones at the site were entirely carbonized and had turned black, a result of burning. Some fire sites are encircled by rocks and lime, resulting from limestone burning.Fossils of "Peking Man" were discovered in the same area in the 1920s. An almost intact skull earned the place the title of one of the birth places of humans.Ashes, burned bones and rocks, as well as charred seeds were also found in 1929, which was taken as proof that "Peking Man" knew how to use fire.However, there has been skepticism which claims that the burning may have been resulted from naturally occurring fire.The researchers say the new evidence is more convincing, because it has been found under the earth untouched, without weather damage. It shows that the "Peking Man" knew how to keep kindling and control fire.

The number of international students studying in the United States is at a record high, with almost one-third coming from China, which ranks first in the academic year. According to a report released by the Institute of International Education in the U.S., a record number of almost 890,000 international students went to the U.S. in the 2013-2014 academic year, to pursue studies in various academic courses. That's an increase of 8 percent over the previous year. Topping the list is China, which has more than 270,000 students studying in the U.S., an increase of almost 17 percent over the previous year. China accounted for 31 percent of the total number of international students. China is followed distantly by India, with around 100,000 students, an increase of 6 percent over the previous year, reversing a three-year trend of declining numbers of Indian students at the U.S. universities. In the previous year, international students contributed some 27 billion dollars to the U.S. economy. According to the report, the U.S. hosts more of the world's 4.5 million globally mobile college and university students than any other country in the world, almost doubling the figure hosted by Britain, the second leading host country.

Britain's Old Royal Naval College has unveiled the country's first major exhibition on the life of Yan Fu, a renowned Chinese thinker, educator and translator who served as a cultural bridge between China and Britain more than 100 years ago. Yan was born in 1854 and was one of the first ever Chinese students to study in Britain. At the age of 23, he was sent to the then Royal Naval College in London to study naval expertise and went on to become one of the most influential intellectuals in modern China. The exhibition is called "Yan Fu and Chinese Imperial Students at the Royal Naval College", and it showcases a myriad of historical documents, books, artifacts and photographs, seeking to portray the life and times of this extraordinary thinker and his fellow Chinese students. After finishing his studies, Yan returned to China as an accomplished "enlightenment thinker", translating and introducing to China the "Evolution and Ethics", "The Wealth of Nations" and "The Spirit of the Laws", among many other works. Through his writings and translations, Yan presented the people of China with insights into Europe's natural, social, and political sciences as well as theories of economics and philosophy, which were much needed in China at the dawn of its turbulent journey to modernity. He is still highly regarded in China today for his pioneering role in Chinese modern history. The exhibition runs until February 1 next year. You are listening to NEWS Plus Special English.

Dozens of stone, animal bone and horn tools have been found at a limestone quarry site in a hill in the coastal city of Dalian in northeast China. Researchers have obtained more than 1,000 important samples since the joint excavation began in August by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Dalian Natural History Museum. Stone tools and large herbivorous animal bones that appear to have been cut or smashed by humans show the site was an important site for early human activity. Scientists explain that deer and antelope horn tools were also used at caves in Beijing's suburbs, where the skulls of Peking Man, or Homo erectus, were found in the 1920s and 1930s. Peking Man was first believed to have lived there around 500,000 years ago. But some Chinese scientists later said they were actually 200,000 years older, probably from a mild glacial period. The new discovery is likely to be the earliest cultural ruins in northeast China, making it important for the study of human evolution and the origin of culture in the region.

U.S. researchers say they've identified "weak spots" on the surface of the deadly Ebola virus that are targeted by the antibodies in ZMapp, the experimental drug cocktail administered to several patients during the recent Ebola outbreak. The study provided a 3-D picture of how the ZMapp antibodies bind to the virus. Using an imaging technique called electron microscopy, the new study found that two of the ZMapp antibodies bind near the base of virus, appearing to prevent the virus from entering cells. A third antibody binds near the top of the virus, possibly acting as a beacon to call the body's immune system to the site of infection. ZMapp, developed by San Diego-based Mapp Biopharmaceutical, was used in August to treat several patients diagnosed positive with the Ebola virus. Five of the seven patients who received ZMapp survived and the treatment is expected to go into clinical trials early next year.

Color 13 min. (1993) Sponsored by Eisai Co.,Ltd. Produced by Yone Production Inc. Bones mainly consist of three cell types; osteoclasts that break down bone tissue and osteoblasts that create bone tissue. Once bone has been created, osteoblasts are thought to play an important role in bone maintenance by remaining in bone and establishing neural connections. This film was produced with a firm focus on these osteocytes (bone cells). Yonesaku KOBAYASHI commented that the theme of this film was “wetness”. An appropriate observation in light of the fact that osteocytes exist within body fluids and perform a variety of roles using body fluids as a medium.In addition, a cut from this film was used in the introductory part of “Peking Man”. The HD digitalization of this film was made possible through financial support provided by Eisai Co., Ltd. Gratefully received. Thank you.
