Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Footprints from Fossils to Gallows: Adventures in Paleoanthropology, Primatology, and Forensic Anthropology. University of Chicago professor Russell Tuttle was privileged to study one of the most dramatic and provocative fossil discoveries of the twentieth century: 3.66-million-year-old (MA) bipedal footprint trails at Laetoli, Northern Tanzania. This adventure concurrently led to invitations to join a team of barristers and solicitors in defense of two men accused of involvement in a murder in Winnipeg, Canada. The Queen's Counsel for the prosecution had engaged a certified forensic anthropologist, Louise M. Robbins (1928-1987), who had worked on a different section of the Laetoli footprints trails before him. Her claim to have developed a new science of human footprint analysis for forensic use and wild speculations about the makers of some Laetoli prints prompted him to question her scientific ability and method of footprint analysis (Tuttle 1986) and the judgment of fellow forensic anthropologists who supported her testimonials. We hope this book might lead to a better understanding of how science can serve our courts by using novel and well-established results of scientific research less adversarially with a view to achieve justice for all parties affected by crimes. Particularly, claims of new forensic methods should be tested thoroughly by peer review outside the courtroom before employment to decide matters of life and death. Dr. Robbins's decade of quackery is a prime example of how justice might be better served by early, thorough scrutiny of a claimant's novel methods and general scientific expertise. In addition to relevant literature, my main source is correspondence among Drs. Robbins, Mary Leakey, and Michael Day; court records of barristers and myself from copies of correspondence in my files dating back to 1980 and Anthropology Archives at the Smithsonian Institution; and detailed reports prepared by Dr. Robbins and R. Tuttle concerning a criminal case in Winnipeg, Canada. Although I did not set out to write the book as a memoir, it quickly became thus as I recalled the experiences that shaped me as a paleoanthropologist. Previously, my research was on functional morphology, history of anthropology, and evolutionary biology in the USA and Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Aaron Judkins has provided an academic service of inestimable value in the search for human fossil footprints and the orgins of mankind. His exhaustive documentation of human footprints in rock strata around the world verifies that man is not a product of long evolutionary developemnt, but has instead left his mark and footprints in all the eras of the geologic column. This renders the geologic column the product of the worldwide Flood with man present in all its epochs. The inevitable conclusion to be drawn is that man is the product of supernatural design and the myriad of fossils associated witht he footprints represent his companion in the Flood.

Download or read book The Global Phenomenon of Human Fossil Footprints in Rock written by Aaron Judkins and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-02-21 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most exciting anthropological evidences found around the world today is the phenomenon of human fossil footprints in rock. The human foot shows some of the most important characteristics of human anatomy.It is most useful to understand why evolution makes the claims it does and then compare it to the evidence.The dating techniques, geologic column, and the history of mankind which evolution has taught are in complete disarray with the empirical evidence. It is imperative that one understands the fallacies of the geologic column and the dating technique used to date rocks and fossils, and the supposed progression from ape to man. Since mainstream science only appreciates the evolutionary concept, the first part of thisbook is dedicated to dispelling this theory. This entails a detailed analysis of the theory of evolution, Darwinism, and the general impact this has had on academia. The second half of this book examines the global phenomenonof human fossil footprints in rock.
