Editor's Notes
- The Phenomenon of Man (Le phénomène humain, 1955) is a book written by the French philosopher, paleontologist and Jesuitpriest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. In this work, Teilhard describes evolution as a process that leads to increasing complexity, culminating in the unification of consciousness. The book was finished in the 1930s, but was published posthumously in 1955. The Roman Catholic Church initially prohibited the publication of some of Teilhard’s writings on the grounds that they contradicted orthodoxy. The foreword to the book was written by one of the key scientific advocates for natural selection and evolution of the 20th century, and a co-developer of the modern synthesis in biology, Julian Huxley.
- a fact or situation that is observed to exist or happen, especially one whose cause or explanation is in question philosophy the object of a person's perception; what the senses or the mind notice.
- The new Pope selects Jean Telemond, a Jesuit priest and paleontologist, as his personal confessor. And before long, Kiril is a behind-the-scenes advocate of Telemond's work; but eventually, he gives in to the resistance of the Vatican traditionalists. Kiril recognizes that he cannot move in all directions at once. Telemond dies broken-hearted. The real Teilhard de Chardin never had the ear of the Pope. In fact, he kept much of his work under wraps in obedience to his superiors and held his primary book, The Phenomenon of Man, for posthumous publication. It had come out only a year or so before The Shoes of the Fisherman. We've heard that the old movie produced in 1968 is not nearly as good as the novel although it's said to have a few inspiring moments.
- Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was born in the Château of Sarcenat at Orcines, close to Clermont-Ferrand, France, on May 1, 1881. On the Teilhard side he is descended from an ancient family of magistrates from Auvergne originating in Murat, Cantal, and on the de Chardin side he is descended from a family that was ennobled under Louis XVIII. He was the fourth of eleven children. His father, Emmanuel Teilhard (1844–1932), an amateur naturalist, collected stones, insects and plants and promoted the observation of nature in the household. Pierre Teilhard's spirituality was awakened by his mother, Berthe de Dompiere. When he was 12, he went to the Jesuit college of Mongré, in Villefranche-sur-Saône, where he completed baccalaureates of philosophy and mathematics. Then, in 1899, he entered the Jesuit novitiate at Aix-en-Provence, where he began a philosophical, theological and spiritual career. As of the summer 1901, the Waldeck-Rousseau laws, which submitted congregational associations' properties to state control, prompted some of the Jesuits to exile themselves in the United Kingdom. Young Jesuit students continued their studies in Jersey. In the meantime, Teilhard earned a licentiate in literature in Caen in 1902.
- Paleontologist- is a scientist who studies fossils. If your basement is filled with fossils found while out on hikes, then you're an amateurpaleontologist. Paleontology breaks down to the Greek for "ancient" (paleo), "being" (onto-), and "study" (-logy).
- Geologist- is a scientist who studies the solid and liquid matter that constitutes the Earth as well as the processes and history that have shaped it.Geologists usually engage in studying geology
- Homo erectus pekinensis, is an example of Homo erectus. A group of fossil specimens was discovered in 1923–27 during excavations at Zhoukoudian (Chou K'ou-tien) near Beijing (written "Peking" before the adoption of the Pinyin romanization system), China. In 2009 the finds were dated from roughly 750,000 years ago,[1] and a new 26Al/10Be dating suggests they are in the range of 680,000–780,000 years old.[2][3]

- (Latin: "wise person") is the binomial nomenclature (also known as the scientific name) for the only extant human species.Homo is the human genus, which also includes Neanderthals and many other extinct species of hominid; H. sapiens is the only surviving species of the genus Homo. Modern humans are the subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens, which differentiates them from what has been argued to be their direct ancestor, Homo sapiens idaltu. The ingenuity and adaptability of Homo sapiens has led to its becoming, arguably, the most influential species on the planet; it is currently deemed of least concern on the Red List of endangered species by theInternational Union for the Conservation of Nature.[1]
