Mankind — Child of the Stars by Max H. Flint and Otto O. Binder This great book asks the questions that science should have been asking rather than covering up. The authors also advocate intervention and interference from alien species. “Most controversial is the evolutionary question. I have done a great deal of work on Darwin and can say with some assurance that Darwin did not derive his theory from nature but rather superimposed a certain philosophical world-view on nature and then spent 20 years trying to gather the facts to make it stick.” (Introduction) Yet the point of Man’s emergence as a human-being, the threshold of his attainment of personality and spirit— these are still shrouded in the shadows of the prehistoric past. (p. 5) “*’,.a noted newspaper wrote that the “chief puzzle” in the life record of the ancient earth is how, 600 million years ago, the basic divisions of species of the plant and animal kingdom have already “sud- denly appeared.” There being no earlier fossil record, this meant “the first part of the evolutionary his- tory is missing. ¢ Why is it that an analysis of the six spreading movements of primitive Man indicates that three of these spreading movements came from Asia Minor? ¢ The race (Aurignacian or Cro-Magnon Man) that possibly swept away Neanderthal Man approxi- mately 35,000 years ago in Europe had a larger brain capacity by 100 cubic centimeters than modern Man...where did this huge brain-case, three times the volume of a gorilla’s come from? ¢ Why did the homo branches of both Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon Man, who had brain cases larger than modern Man, never, through a period of 60,000 years, create civilization, living instead as Leen ON brutes? (p. 6) ¢ Why did civilization spring up with an abruptness in Sumeria (10,000 B.C.) which makes the anthropologists gasp to this day? How could mankind change from a Neolithic savage...to a social being with villages and agriculture overnight, so to speak? All of the lesser animals—the dog, cat, horse, elephant, and others—had the same number of years in which to develop—by Evolution’s natural selection or mutations, or both—the surpassing intelligence of Man. Yet Man alone achieved this. Why? How? The evolutionists do not know. Although all the other warm-blooded inhabitants of Earth have been evolving as long as we humans, not one of them has a brain that is over a hundredth (1/100) the total weight of his body...Man’s brain on the other hand is one-thirtieth (1:30) of his total weight. Where did this great difference come from? 162 Appendix B: Book Abstracts Immanuel Velikovsky on Darwinism Advent of Man Catastrophe Removed Fossil Record Evidence The authors go on to pose several important questions: ¢ Why are there Men in white, yellow, brown, red and black skin? e¢ Why is there a lack of explanation for Man’s greater intelligence arising out of strict Evolution?
