Ebisuzaki represents a new approach to the problem of the emergence and evolution of the life. The discovery of the ancient reactors in uranium deposits in Gabon plays an important role in the development of the new theory. This chapter is devoted to 1) the rethinking of "universal" validity of this proposed model, especially in the case of the potential habitable terrestrial exoplanets, and also to 2) open the potential role of the analogical energetic processes within the interstellar medium.
Planet Formation and Panspermia. New Prospects for the Movement of Life through Space, 2021

The water/ice environment is considered as a sufficient carrier of panspermia in space due to the characteristic (protecting) properties of water, including UV absorption and superconductivity. Recent observations of L. I. Cleeves show that the oceanic ratio of D/H represents a dilution and heterogeneous origen of the water on Earth, which perhaps comprises the comets, asteroids, and even the dwarf snow-ball planets or their fragments from the interstellar medium during the formation of the solar protoplanetary disc. Interesting insight was brought by the probe Wild-2 investigating the composition of the comet Temple-1, showing a wide spectrum of minerals, among which water ice is dominant and calcium carbonates were detected. This composition shows which kind of the bodies also showered the mantle of Earth during the Late Heavy Bombardment 4.1–3.8 Ga ago. On a molecular base, the Murchison meteorite with 92 amino acids and meteorite Acfer 086 with protein hemolithin represent good examples of this ancient molecular enrichment. The second part of the chapter deals with a possibility of lithopanspermia, i.e., the idea that micro-organisms can be distributed throughout the planetary system via fragments of rock/ice ejected during a meteoric impact event. Traces of these relationships in case of Earth-Moon system represent granite and also a specimen of breccia collected on the lunar surface by Apollo 14 and 15 crews. The Chandreyaan-1 probe confirmed the evidence of the water on both poles of the Moon and the origen of this water is questioned. Similarly, the question of a possible ancient Venus-Mercury system (Van Flandern’s and Harrison’s hypothesis), including an alternative explanation for the origen of the water ices in the case of the smaller body.

Leopold Pospíšil Adventures in the ‘Stone Age’ A New Guinea Diary, 2021
Afterword for the last publication of Leopold Jaroslav Pospisil (1923-2021):
Leopold Pospíšil is ... more Afterword for the last publication of Leopold Jaroslav Pospisil (1923-2021): Leopold Pospíšil is a living legend of cultural anthropology. He was born on 26 April 1923 in the Moravian city of Olomouc, less than four years after his native Czechoslovakia came into being as one of the successor states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After a childhood and schooldays spent in Olomouc, his subsequent life could provide material for several adventure novels. Having joined the anti-Nazi resistance he was shot in the knee and operated on by his surgeon uncle — without an anesthetic. Later Pospíšil said his uncle had wanted him to realize that precious anesthetic should be kept for those in the resistance in greater need. Pospíšil applied to Harvard and Yale, was accepted by both, but chose Yale as they offered him a bigger scholarship. Thus the cowpoke became a full-time student of Social Sciences, eventually gaining a doctorate in 1956. Importantly, he also travelled to New Guinea to study the Kapauku, among whom he spent thirteen months conducting basic research. Pospíšil conducted his basic field research of the Kapauku from September 1954 to November 1955, followed by further spells in 1959, 1962, 1975 and a brief and final two-week stay in 1979. In the 50s and 60s, important studies were carried out in the New Guinea Highlands, the results of which gave significant new impetus to the anthropology of Oceania and led to the formulation of new approaches and the revision of certain anthropological concepts based on new ethnographic insights such as the so-called ‘African model’ of descendence and descent groups. The Highlands research was so important that a special number of American Anthropologist (1964, issue 4, 2nd part) was devoted to it.

Today, there is a growing effort to rectify the earlier practice and to return the transported ethnography to the country of origen. However, the picture is certainly not black and white, as many repatriations raise doubts.

In Südböhmen beobachten wir seit der entwiskelten Phase der Mittelbronzezeit südostliche Strömungen (Nackenscheibenaxt und offene herzformige Anhänger). Während jüngere Phase der Mittelbronzezeit ist dagegen die Verknüpfung mit dem Oberdonaugebiet deutlich (Vollgriffschwert des Typs Hausmoning, herzförmige Anhänger der Typen Hörmannsdorf und Oberbernbach, Rädanhänger). Diese Macht und Religiönsstrukturen und ihre gegenseitige Verknüpfung sind auch aus der Sicht der überregionalen Verbreitung einzelner Gegenstände zu erkennen. Die ausdünnende Verbreitung von Anhängern der Typen Hörmannsdorf und Oberbernbach und der Volgriffschwerter gegen Südosten in Richtung Karpatenbecken zeugen von einer abnehmenden Ausstrahlung des mit Zentrum im Böhmischen Becken und im Oberdonaugebietes zu lokalisierenden kulturellen Agglomerates. Die Verknüpfung zwischen rangabzeichenden Insignien und religösen Symbolen ist manchmal bei demselben Gegenständ warnehmbar. Das betrifft in unserem Milieu die Nackenscheibenäxte, sie eine Analogie zu den Zeremonialäxte aus Bredebaekgard und einem Stück hethitischen Ursprungs darstellen. Beim Übergangshorizont zwischen Mittlebronzezeit und Urnenfelderzeit handelt es sich um einem komplizierten Abschnitt. Die neunen und neu interpretierten Funden aus den Gebiet Nordböhmens, Mährens und Thüringens liefern Indizien für eine unruhige Entwicklung in Mitteleuropa. Die Auswirkungen dieser Ereignisse bleiben in Südböhmen unklar. Für eine Kontinuität spricht die fortgesetzte Belegung von Grabhügelfeldern und ferner das Volgriffschwert des Typs Riegsee mit achtkantigem Querschnitt als Insignie. Als heimisch könnten auch die Scheibenkopfnadeln, Schwerter des Typs Unterhaching und das Exemplar mit schmaller Griffplatte und settlichen Nietkerben, die Analogien im Oberdonaugebiet haben, angesehen werden. Der Doppelarmknauf als fremdes Rangabzeichen deutet auf Kontakte zum Mitteldonauraum hin. Überregionale Verbreitung zeichnen die Griffzungenschwerter des Typs Sprockhoff Ia, Kemenzei A Variante 1 aus, deren nechste geographische Konzentration sich im Karpatenbecken findet. Fremde Waffen stellen auch die Beile des Typs Issendorf und die Dolche mit drei plastischen länglichen Rippen. Der Nachsatz 1 widmet sich der Analyse der mit fächerartigem Motiv vergleichbaren hethitischen Hieroglyphe HH 18 MAGNUS REX, der standartmässig mit "Gross König" zu übersetzen ist. Zugleich wird das hethitische Königrangabzeichen DINGIR UTU (Summerogram) und die damit verknüpfbare Gleichung dTyaz = dTiwaz - dŠiuš - (Himmelsgottheiten) = dUTU = dIštanu abgehandelt. Die Nachsatz 2 behandelt die Bedeutung der umgekehrt herzförmigen Anhänger im Kontext mit ähnlichen Gegenständen innerhalb des indoeuropäischen Milieus. Zur Erklärung des unabhängigen Vorkommen der Anhänger und Symbole in geographisch und zeitlich voneinander entfernten Bereichen und Zeitabschnitten wird an ein mythologisches Portfolio gedacht.

Kostka). Po oznámení výstavby byl v červenci 1994 proveden v předstihu povrchový průzkum sběrem na ploše budoucí stavby vzhledem k lokaci i výsledkům starších povrchových sběrů v tomto místě (Dragoun-Tryml 1984-tam na obr. 2 zachycen původní stav lokality). Výsledek sběrů však byl naprosto negativní, neboť plocha staveniště byla převzata stavbou od předchozího investora již po uskutečněné plošné skrývce ornice, od jejíhož provedení uplynula delší doba. Na skryté a opět zarostlé ploše tedy bylo nemožné identifikovat ani vytipovat žádné stopy po předchozím osídlení a nezbylo než sledovat až vlastní výkopové zemní práce. Zásahy do země se díky technologii stavby domků omezily na výkopy rýh pro kanalizaci a další inženýrské sítě. V jejich stěnách byl odhalen první archeologický objekt s nálezy (obj. 1), jehož výzkum proběhl 4. srpna 1994 (Kostka 1997, 188). Při dalším sledování výkopů byly pak postupně identifikovány tři objekty (obj. 2 až 4), jejichž výzkum probíhal v lednu až březnu roku 1995 (Kostka 1997, 188-189). Objekty 2 a 4 tvořily pozůstatky částečně do země zahloubených laténských domů-polozemnic, datovaných do stupně LT C1-C2. Následující stať pojednává výhradně o objektech 1 a 3-sídlištních jamách pozdní doby římské až časné doby stěhování národů.

Papers by Jaroslav Jiřík
of D/H represents a dilution and heterogeneous origen of the water on Earth, which perhaps comprises the comets, asteroids, and even the dwarf snow-ball planets or their fragments from the interstellar medium during the formation of the solar protoplanetary disc. Interesting insight was brought by the probe Wild-2 investigating the composition of the comet Temple-1, showing a wide spectrum of minerals, among which water ice is dominant and calcium carbonates were detected. This composition shows which kind of the bodies also showered the mantle of Earth during the Late Heavy Bombardment 4.1–3.8 Ga ago. On a molecular base, the Murchison meteorite with 92 amino acids and meteorite Acfer 086 with protein hemolithin represent good examples of this ancient molecular enrichment. The second part of the chapter deals with a possibility of lithopanspermia, i.e., the idea that micro-organisms can be distributed throughout the planetary system via fragments of rock/ice ejected during a meteoric impact event. Traces of these relationships in case of Earth-Moon system represent granite and also a specimen of breccia collected on the lunar surface by Apollo 14 and 15 crews. The Chandreyaan-1 probe confirmed the evidence of the water on both poles of the Moon and the origen of this water is questioned. Similarly, the question of a possible
ancient Venus-Mercury system (Van Flandern’s and Harrison’s hypothesis), including an alternative explanation for the origen of the water ices in the case of the smaller body.
Leopold Pospíšil is a living legend of cultural anthropology. He was born
on 26 April 1923 in the Moravian city of Olomouc, less than four years
after his native Czechoslovakia came into being as one of the successor
states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After a childhood and schooldays
spent in Olomouc, his subsequent life could provide material for
several adventure novels. Having joined the anti-Nazi resistance he was
shot in the knee and operated on by his surgeon uncle — without an
anesthetic. Later Pospíšil said his uncle had wanted him to realize that
precious anesthetic should be kept for those in the resistance in greater
need.
Pospíšil applied to Harvard and Yale, was accepted by both,
but chose Yale as they offered him a bigger scholarship. Thus the cowpoke became a full-time student of Social Sciences, eventually gaining
a doctorate in 1956. Importantly, he also travelled to New Guinea to study the Kapauku, among whom he spent thirteen months conducting basic research. Pospíšil conducted his basic field research of the Kapauku from September 1954 to November 1955, followed by further spells in 1959, 1962, 1975 and a brief and final two-week stay in 1979. In the 50s and
60s, important studies were carried out in the New Guinea Highlands,
the results of which gave significant new impetus to the anthropology
of Oceania and led to the formulation of new approaches and
the revision of certain anthropological concepts based on new ethnographic insights such as the so-called ‘African model’ of descendence and descent groups. The Highlands research was so important that a special number of American Anthropologist (1964, issue 4, 2nd part) was devoted to it.
Beim Übergangshorizont zwischen Mittlebronzezeit und Urnenfelderzeit handelt es sich um einem komplizierten Abschnitt. Die neunen und neu interpretierten Funden aus den Gebiet Nordböhmens, Mährens und Thüringens liefern Indizien für eine unruhige Entwicklung in Mitteleuropa. Die Auswirkungen dieser Ereignisse bleiben in Südböhmen unklar. Für eine Kontinuität spricht die fortgesetzte Belegung von Grabhügelfeldern und ferner das Volgriffschwert des Typs Riegsee mit achtkantigem Querschnitt als Insignie. Als heimisch könnten auch die Scheibenkopfnadeln, Schwerter des Typs Unterhaching und das Exemplar mit schmaller Griffplatte und settlichen Nietkerben, die Analogien im Oberdonaugebiet haben, angesehen werden. Der Doppelarmknauf als fremdes Rangabzeichen deutet auf Kontakte zum Mitteldonauraum hin. Überregionale Verbreitung zeichnen die Griffzungenschwerter des Typs Sprockhoff Ia, Kemenzei A Variante 1 aus, deren nechste geographische Konzentration sich im Karpatenbecken findet. Fremde Waffen stellen auch die Beile des Typs Issendorf und die Dolche mit drei plastischen länglichen Rippen.
Der Nachsatz 1 widmet sich der Analyse der mit fächerartigem Motiv vergleichbaren hethitischen Hieroglyphe HH 18 MAGNUS REX, der standartmässig mit "Gross König" zu übersetzen ist. Zugleich wird das hethitische Königrangabzeichen DINGIR UTU (Summerogram) und die damit verknüpfbare Gleichung dTyaz = dTiwaz - dŠiuš - (Himmelsgottheiten) = dUTU = dIštanu abgehandelt.
Die Nachsatz 2 behandelt die Bedeutung der umgekehrt herzförmigen Anhänger im Kontext mit ähnlichen Gegenständen innerhalb des indoeuropäischen Milieus. Zur Erklärung des unabhängigen Vorkommen der Anhänger und Symbole in geographisch und zeitlich voneinander entfernten Bereichen und Zeitabschnitten wird an ein mythologisches Portfolio gedacht.
