Featured: Lindow Manl at the Mummy Tombs. Maybe Andy Mould had a special knack that most people don't have. Or maybe it was just a coincidence. But in 1983 and then again in 1984, he found human remains in an English peat bog known as Lindow Moss. The first time, he had found the head (mostly a skull with little skin or brain remaining) of a woman. A year later, on August 1, 1984, he was working with Eddie Slack, placing blocks of peat onto an elevator that would transport them to a shredding mill, when he looked at one block of peat and noticed what he thought was a piece of wood embedded in it.
A close visual examination provided obvious clues that Lindow Man had been murdered. Why did he have a well-developed, but roughly trimmed, beard - unique among bog bodies - and well-kept nails? The next step pursued was the reconstruction of Lindow Man. When the scientists explored Lindow Man's interior cavity, looking for any signs of disease, they were pleased to find that his stomach had not decayed. Library.

Odyssey, Adventures in Archaeology. Colby - THE MACGUIRE AFFAIR.
By Gerard Colby In the summer of 1934 Gerald MacGuire, a lawyer in the Morgan brokerage office of Grayson M. -P. Murphy and an official of the American Legion, visited General Smedley Butler at his home in Newton Square, Pennsylvania. Butler, former Commandant of the Marine Corps and holder of two Congressional medals of honor, had ended his 33-year career in the Marines three years earlier amid a storm of diplomatic protest over his public description of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini as "a mad dog about to break loose in Europe.
" The General had stubbornly rejected Hoover's demand for a retraction and had retired from the service a proud but bitter man. But he was also probably the most popular soldier in America. America, MacGuire told Butler, was in great danger from a "communist menace," and needed a complete change of government. "To be perfectly fair to Mr. "he didn't seem bloodthirsty. Butler was amazed at MacGuire's plan but played along to uncover details. Notes 61. 62. 63. Literature.org - The Online Literature Library. Farming to blame for our shrinking size and brains. (PhysOrg.com) -- At Britain's Royal Society, Dr. Marta Lahr from Cambridge University's Leverhulme Centre for Human Evolutionary Studies presented her findings that the height and brain size of modern-day humans is shrinking.
Looking at human fossil evidence for the past 200,000 years, Lahr looked at the size and structure of the bones and skulls found across Europe, Africa and Asia. What they discovered was that the largest Homo sapiens lived 20,000 to 30,000 years ago with an average weight between 176 and 188 pounds and a brain size of 1,500 cubic centimeters. They discovered that some 10,000 years ago however, size started getting smaller both in stature and in brain size. Within the last 10 years, the average human size has changed to a weight between 154 and 176 pounds and a brain size of 1,350 cubic centimeters. Agriculture however does not explain the reduction in brain size. Explore further: Breakthrough DNA study could slow big cat extinction. Voices of History - Old Time Radio Shows - OTR. Karnak.
