Maybe I shouldn't have resisted. Maybe I'd have a child to raise by now.... I was young and I resisted with every bone in my body. I bit the bastard's neck, and his blood gushed into my mouth, dirty, kind of salty, and warm, like chicken's blood...
Drums of Heaven describes a terminal wasteland where the "tears of the crocodile water the sun" and "kidney bone cities are crumbling to dust." Feeding Frenzy uses sepulchral organ chords and a throbbing bass line to drive home its point that civilization has bloodied its own waters; Garrett sings, "Computers and shovels, churches and brothels/ Mannequins and skeletons, cities and dust bowls/ Here we go again/ Hear the clamor of the feeding pen." Garrett, who ran unsuccessfully for the Australian Senate in 1984, sings like a man on a mission, his voice stoked with righteous indignation as he lashes...
Although the age of the earliest objects from Meadowcroft remains controversial, this rock shelter 30 miles southwest of Pittsburgh has long been considered one of North America's most promising pre-Clovis sites. Among the findings: charcoal, pieces of bone and antler (some scored with knife marks) and charred fragments of basketry that are estimated to be between 12,000 and 15,000 years old. There is also an assortment of non-Clovis blades and points. Says Mercyhurst's Adovasio, who has studied Meadowcroft for nearly 20 years: "It may well be the oldest archaeological site in North America...
Discovered in 1975 by researchers with the Archaeological Survey of Canada, these caves in the remote northern Yukon have yielded flaked stone tools that are 10,000 to 13,000 years old, what appear to be butchered mammoth bones 15,500 to 20,000 years old and bone tools from perhaps 23,500 years ago. To date, however, the researchers have been unable to find any hearths or other cultural features...
...discovery of a lifetime. The turkey-size predator, ! with its mouthful of sharp teeth and long tail, looked quite similar to the theropods. Even so, says paleontologist Mark Norell, it shares a number of features with modern birds. "In Archaeopteryx, for example," he explains, "the fibula ((the thin bone in the leg)) touches the ankle. In birds that doesn't happen, and the same is true of Mononychus. Birds have a keeled sternum ((or breastbone)), where the flight muscles attach. Mononychus also had a keeled sternum." Some of Mononychus' wristbones were fused together, which is another hallmark of adaptation...
