...free up the restrictions, Upledger applies light resistance to parts of the body that seem to be stuck. These frequently include the bones of the skull, which Upledger says remain mobile throughout life--a point many medical doctors dispute. During a craniosacral session, the therapist may gently lift a person's head to allow a skull bone to shift and the normal flow of fluid to resume...
...bones of] a monkey," he says. Beckoning the expedition's co-leader, Meave Leakey, wife and daughter-in-law, respectively, of Richard and Louis Leakey and renowned in her own right, he asked her opinion. By nightfall they realized that they had uncovered the partial remains of a humanlike skull...
...that view is being challenged. The new skull, described by Leakey and six colleagues, including her and Richard's daughter Louise, 29, in Nature last week, pushes the presence of coexisting species back another million years, to between 3.5 million and 3.2 million years ago. That's right in Lucy's time. Yet it is so different from Lucy that they assign their fossil, which they call Kenyanthropus platyops, or "flat-faced man of Kenya," to a new genus, or grouping of species. "This means we will have to rethink the early past of hominid evolution," says Meave Leakey, head...
...cars were blown out of the crater and fell back as molten rain, exploding on impact like mortar shells, ripping through bodies and setting them on fire. Two scientists were instantly vaporized. One was literally cut in half. The exploding mountain shot a nickel-size hole through Williams' skull, mangling his face, setting his clothes afire, breaking one leg and nearly tearing the foot off the other...
...McDonagh country again for sure. Two gravediggers, whose job is to clear out old corpses in the local cemetery so new ones can be buried in their place, dig up the remains of one fellow's late wife. She turns out to have a huge gash in her skull, implying that her husband might have murdered her. Much of this, believe it or not, is played for laughs (in one scene the pair smash a skeleton to smithereens), but McDonagh's comedy, unlike Lonergan's, never seems pasted on, or patronizing. We never lose sight of the dark drama beneath...
