  The Parting of the Sea - How...

  “[Sivertsen] has done an exceptional job of digging into the wide variety of fields relevant to understanding the Exodus. A superb and stunning book.” ―Paul and Elizabeth Barber, authors of When They Severed Earth from Sky 
   
  For more than four decades, biblical experts have tried to place the story of Exodus into historical context—without success. What could explain the Nile turning to blood, insects swarming the land, and the sky falling to darkness? Integrating biblical accounts with substantive archaeological evidence, The Parting of the Sea looks at how natural phenomena shaped the stories of Exodus, the Sojourn in the Wilderness, and the Israelite conquest of Canaan. Barbara Sivertsen demonstrates that the Exodus was in fact two separate exoduses both triggered by volcanic eruptions—and provides scientific explanations for the ten plagues and the parting of the Red Sea. Over time, Israelite oral tradition combined these events into the Exodus narrative known today. 
   
  Skillfully unifying textual and archaeological records with details of ancient geological events, Sivertsen shows how the first exodus followed a 1628 B.C.E Minoan eruption that produced all but one of the first nine plagues. The second exodus followed an eruption of a volcano off the Aegean island of Yali almost two centuries later, creating the tenth plague of darkness and a series of tsunamis that “parted the sea” and drowned the pursuing Egyptian army. Sivertsen’s brilliant account explains inconsistencies in the biblical story, fits chronologically with the conquest of Jericho, and confirms that the Israelites were in Canaan before the end of the sixteenth century B.C.E. 
   
  In examining oral traditions and how these practices absorb and process geological details through storytelling, The Parting of the Sea reveals how powerful historical narratives are transformed into myth.

  Mammalogy - Mammals: Exploring...

  Mammals, the dominant group of warm-blooded vertebrates on Earth today, have a deep evolutionary history that stretches back over 300 million years. Their origins can be traced to the synapsids, a group of amniotes that first appeared in the late Carboniferous period. These early synapsids were distinct from reptiles and birds, possessing a single temporal fenestra, an opening in the skull that allowed for stronger jaw muscles. Over millions of years, synapsids diversified into a variety of forms, some of which gave rise to the therapsids, the direct ancestors of modern mammals. 
  During the Permian period, therapsids became the dominant terrestrial vertebrates, developing more advanced characteristics such as differentiated teeth, a more upright posture, and improved metabolic efficiency. However, the Permian-Triassic extinction event, the most severe mass extinction in Earth's history, led to a significant decline in their diversity. Those that survived continued to evolve, giving rise to cynodonts, a subgroup of therapsids that displayed increasingly mammal-like features. Cynodonts had more complex teeth, enhanced jaw mechanics, and possibly even fur, adaptations that would later define true mammals.
