JAMES A SHAPIRO's paper is also a tour de force that requires extensive review. http://www.thethirdwayofevolution.com/people/view/james-a-shapiro View in LinkedIn

CONFLUENT SYNERGY. Since World War II, the effects of the "green revolution" (chemical and intensive industrial farming), pollution, and over-population have threatened a sustainable planet. A canary in the coal mine is the quality of the soil, upon which we depend for all plant and animal food. View in LinkedIn

AN EXTRAORDINARY PAPER by Luis P Villarreal and Guenther Witzany. This paper is so profound and far-reaching, I am quoting it massively. Possibly one of the most important reads in years. And not without controversy. https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

CHEMICAL STEW. "It is estimated that less than 0.1 % of the pesticides applied to crops reach the target pests. Thus, more than 99 % of applied pesticides have the potential to impact non-target organisms and become widely dispersed in the environment as potential contaminants." https://lnkd.in/eUfCif8 View in LinkedIn

OVER FIFTY notable scientists are advocating a fresh look at evolution in the light of modern scientific findings, and most have published a book on the subject. A momentum has gathered. https://lnkd.in/e3Jc9pS View in LinkedIn

CHEMICAL DEATH. "Earthworms are called as farmer’s friend. They are also affected by excess usage of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides. Pesticides have the effect on reproduction potential of earthworms so automatically the population of the worms decline." https://lnkd.in/eUfCif8 View in LinkedIn

DECLINING EARTHWORMS. "More than 99% of applied pesticides have the potential to affect non-target organisms and become widely dispersed in the vicinity as potential contaminants. Due to this soil organisms are totally affected." https://lnkd.in/eUfCif8 View in LinkedIn

EARTHWORM DESTRUCTION. "In Australia, changes in farming practices such as the application of superphosphates on pastures and a switch from pastoral farming to arable farming had a devastating effect on populations of the giant Gippsland earthworm, leading to their classification as a protected species." https://lnkd.in/erzksPW View in LinkedIn

MODERN FARMING KILLS WORMS. "Nitrogenous fertilizers tend to create acidic conditions, which are fatal to the worms, and dead specimens are often found on the surface following the application of substances such as DDT, lime sulphur, and lead arsenate." https://lnkd.in/erzksPW View in LinkedIn

VAST EARTHWORKS. "Darwin described the volume of soil that earthworms swallow and eject as castings, or earthworm manure, and he reported that an acre of garden soil could contain more than 50,000 earthworms and yield 18 tons of castings per year. He studied earthworms’ ability to bury objects of every sort—from handfuls of chalk scattered on the ground to Roman ruins that had, he believed, been preserved for archaeologists by an industrious earthworm population." https://lnkd.in/eSjBc5w View in LinkedIn
