Biological Anomalies: Humans 1

Compiled by William R. Corliss

A Sourcebook Project catalog. Looks at the “external” attributes of humans (their physical appearance, anomalous behavior and unusual talents and faculties). Typical subjects covered: mirror-image twins, the sacral spot, the supposed human aura, baldness among musicians, human tails and horns, human behavior and solar activity, cycles of religiousness, cyclicity of violent collective human behavior, handedness and longevity, wolf-children, dermo-optical perception, hearing under anesthesia and human navigation sense.

Biological Anomalies: Humans 2

Compiled by William R. Corliss

The second Sourcebook catalog volume focuses on the “internal” machinery of the body. Typical subjects covered: phantom limbs, blood chimeras, bone shedders, skin shedders, sudden increase of hominid brain size, periodicity of epidemics, extreme longevity, “nostril cycling,” voluntary suspended animation and “male menstruation.”

Biological Anomalies: Humans 3

Compiled by William R. Corliss

The third volume focuses on: the human fossil record, biochemistry and genetics, possible unrecognized living hominids and human interactions with other species and “entities.” Typical subjects covered: Neanderthal demise, giant skeletons, tiny skeletons, human-animal communication, human chimeras and anomalous distribution of human lice.

Typical subjects covered: zebra stripe reversal, marching teeth, lunar effect on activity, mammalian art and music, rat and squirrel “kings,” mummified Antarctic seals, navigation and homing, mammalian engineering works, and unusual vocalizations.

Science Frontiers: Some Anomalies and Curiosities of Nature

William R. Corliss

“Anomaly research, though not a science per se, has the potential to destabilize paradigms and accelerate scientific change. Anomalies reveal nature as it really is: complex, chaotic, possibly even unplumbable.” If anything, Corliss raises the standard set by Charles Fort, and with these 1,500 fully indexed items of anomalous science news and research taken from an ongoing survey of over 100 scientific journals and magazines, amply demonstrating the uncertainty of knowledge. Originally published in Science Frontiers, a bimonthly newsletter sent free to buyers of Corliss’ landmark Sourcebook Project (a work of some 40,000 articles covering 25 years of searching), this collection covers subjects ranging from ancient engineering works, cosmology, biological enigmas and diffusion and culture, to geological anomalies, geophysical phenomena, psychological mysteries and the very edge of mathematics and physics. Indispensable. BW
