Neptune's Dolphins

 

The Recent Extinct, such as the Dodo and Tasmanian Tiger, would like to be remembered. However, their pain is too raw to have human contact with Them. Many of the Recent Extinct are still angry and hurt, and want to be left alone. In her book, “DIY Totemism,” Lupa writes of how angry Dodo screamed at her about the murder and extermination of her Kind. What They want for us to do instead is to prevent more species from going extinct. Reparations for these Beings is to recognize what has been lost, and what needs to be done to stop further tragedies. Because I did conservation work for Manatee and Dugong, Steller’s Sea Cow was willing to guide me through my brain injury.

 

Prehistoric Mammals, especially those of the “Elephant” Family (Proboscidae), are friendly to humans. Starting with Moeritherium of the Late Eocene Epoch (about 40 million years ago), Proboscids (“Elephants”) have evolved around humans. They are accustomed to humans and their idiosyncratic ways. To be begin to know Extinct Animals, Mastodons and other Proboscids are willing to guide people, and instruct them. It is easier to become acquainted with Prehistoric Mammals, since They are close in time and biology to humans.

 

Extinct Animals, who are more remote in time, can be contacted with the Trilobites. The Remote Extinct are honored for showing how precious life is, and how inventive it is. What has gone on before has become what we are now. Roaming ancient and forgotten landscapes will give us an introduction into their lives. Experience their beauty and drama. Humans may not be able to comprehend Wiwawia, an invertebrate resembling and armor-plated bowl with spikes, from the Middle Cambrian Period (about 525 million years ago), but they can appreciate the mysteries that It inspires and also hides. By remembering Wiwawia, we bring it to our present. These animals invite humans deeper into the holy mysteries beyond the veils of reality.

 

I include “Early Man” and other Hominins (such as Australopithecus) in the Early Human Family. Once there were many kinds of Hominins living at the same time and place. Now, we, Homo sapiens, are believed to be the only ones who remain. Rather than admiring our species as the ultimate in evolution, we need to see these fellow Hominins as our equals. Their spirits are a part of our being. In fact, scientists have recently established that many modern people possess either DNA from the well-known Neanderthals or from the more mysterious Denisovans. If we try, we can hear their voices in our blood.

 

Since Dinosaurs have many problems with humans, their Family will be discussed in a separate post. Understanding Dinosaurs is the first step before anyone can work with Them. Extreme care is needed in relating to Dinosaurs.
