PALEOECOLOGY: Mass Extinctions Pinned on Ice Age Hunters -- Dayton 292 (5523): 1819 -- Science
Incriminating new evidence from Australia and North America points to Homo sapiens as the culprit behind the mass extinctions of many species of big, exotic mammals and flightless birds in the late Pleistocene era, 11,000 to 50,000 years ago.
If findings reported on pages 1888 and 1893 of this issue of Science are confirmed, humans are guilty of two counts of serial mass murder, 35,000 years apart, and rival suspects such as climate change are off the hook.

 Victorian Science & Religion
The way in which science and religion have been perceived in the twentieth century was heavily influenced by the writings of late nineteenth-century historians of science and religion, whose influence we have only recently begun to move beyond.
By the middle of the century, there were increasingly two different arenas in which science and religion might be expected to interact: one was the preserve of the expert men of science; the other was society at large, whose members were benefiting from the increasing numbers of popular science publications appearing on the market.
Although the myth of the conflict of science and religion was by now well established, and few clergy attempted to maintain a reputation as scientific experts, it should be noted that plenty of individuals continued to have a Christian faith and to participate in the sciences.

 Adolphe Quetelet (1796-1874)
He received a doctorate of science in 1819 from the University of Ghent.
Quetelet had come to be known as the champion of a new science, dedicated to mapping the normal physical and moral characteristics.
In 1846 he published a book on probability and social science that demonstrated as diverse a collection of human measurements as the heights of French conscripts and the chest circumferences of Scottish soldiers could be taken as approximately normally distributed.

The science of the human mind is curious, but is one on which I have not indulged myself in much speculation.
Yours has brought the science within a small compass, and that is the merit of the first order; and especially with one to whom the drudgery of letter-writing often denies the leisure of reading a single page in a week.
And all the sciences must recur to the classical languages for the etymon, and sound understanding of their fundamental terms.

Jefferson has spent 50 years accumulating 6, 487 books, "putting by everything which related to America, and indeed whatever was rare and valuable in every science"; his library is considered to be one of the finest in the United States.
Jefferson, who is heavily indebted, seeks to use the proceeds of the sale of his books to satisfy his creditors.
He anticipates controversy over the nature of his collection, which includes books in foreign languages and volumes of philosophy, science, literature, and other topics not normally viewed as part of a legislative library.

He was defeated by the ice but his ships, nevertheless, were the first to sail north of the Magnetic Pole - then 71°N. As they did so Parry was delighted to see his compass needle pointing south, for this meant that a prize of £5,000 had been won by the two ships.

In 1819, during the judging of Fresnel's paper on diffraction at the Paris Academy, Poisson argued that the consequence of Fresnel's theory was that the center of the shadow of a diffracting disk should be illuminated.
This unexpected effect was subsequent observed, verifying Fresnel's theory.
