This book is the result of information about the five generations of ancestry for the families of Esther Ray McClintock, Frank Pickens Williams, and Merlene Faye Hutto Byars (Klutzow) being handed down to them by their parents and also because Esther, Pickens and Merlene have explored cemeteries in many states and in Europe. - Xlibris Podcast Part 1: http://www.xlibrispodcasts.com/our-multi-national-heritage-to-adam-1 - Xlibris Podcast Part 3: http://www.xlibrispodcasts.com/our-multi-national-heritage-to-adam-3 - Xlibris Podcast Part 5: http://www.xlibrispodcasts.com/our-multi-national-heritage-to-adam-5

* The Story Prize Spotlight Award, Winner * Readings Prize for New Australian Fiction, Shortlist * Queensland Literary Awards – University of Southern Queensland Steele Rudd Award for a Short Story Collection, Shortlist * Age Book of the Year award, Finalist * An ABA Indie Next pick for “Great New Reads” for August. * "A Best Native Book of 2021" —The Tribal College Journal * "A Best Book of the Year" —Independent Book Review The remarkable stories in Born Into This are eye-opening, razor-sharp, and entertaining, often all at once. From an Aboriginal ranger trying to instill some pride in wayward urban teens on the harsh islands off the coast of Tasmania, to those scraping by on the margins of white society railroaded into complex and compromised decisions, Adam Thompson presents a powerful indictment of colonialism and racism. With humor, pathos, and the occasional sly twist, Thompson’s characters confront discrimination, untimely funerals, classroom politics, the ongoing legacy of cultural destruction, and — overhanging all like a discomforting, burgeoning awareness for both black and white Australia — the inexorable disappearance of the remnant natural world. "A legacy of cultural destruction in Australia and the disappearance of the natural world loom over stories of Aboriginal rangers, untimely funerals and angry bees in this sharp fiction debut." —New York Times Book Review "With its wit, intelligence and restless exploration of the parameters of race and place, Thompson’s debut collection is a welcome addition to the canon of Indigenous Australian writers." —Thuy On, The Guardian

This volume examines evolving trends and transnational perspectives on public interpretation of archaeological and cultural heritage, as well as levels of communication, from local to regional, national and international. It is presented in the context of the evolution of cultural heritage studies from the 20th century “expert approach” to the 21st century “people-centered approach,” with public participation and community involvement at all phases of the decision-making process. Our premise is not just about bringing in community members to be partners in decision making processes; some projects are being initiated by the community--not the heritage experts. In some instances, community members are central in initiating and bringing about change rather than the archaeologists or heritage specialists. In several cases in the book, descendants take the lead in changing heritage narratives. The book addresses several central questions: Do these actions represent new emphases, or more fundamental pedagogical shifts, in interpretation? Are they resulting in more effective interpretation in facilitating emotional and intellectual connections and meanings for audiences? Are they revealing silenced histories? Can they contribute to, or help mediate, dialogues among a diversity of cultures? Can they be shared experiences as examples of good practice at national and international levels? What are the interpretation and presentation challenges for the future? Cultural heritage, as an expression of a diversity of cultures, can be an important mediator between pasts and futures. In the past, people in power from the dominant ethnic, racial, socio-economic, gender, and religious groups determined the heritage message. Minorities were often silenced; their participation in the building and growth of a city, county, or nation’s history was overlooked. New philosophical/methodological trends in public interpretation are reshaping the messages delivered at archaeological/cultural heritage sites worldwide. The role of the experts, as well as the participatory engagement of audiences and stakeholders are being redefined and reassessed. This book explores these processes, their results and effects on the future.

Who are we? Where are we from? These questions have troubled people for centuries. The textbooks have long taught us that human beings evolved from anthropoid apes. Today, a new science, molecular anthropology, tells us this: 7 billion human beings in the world share a common grand, grand…father, the Y-chromosome Adam, and share a common grand, grand…mother, the Mitochondrial Eve. After reading information in this book, you will be convinced that human beings could not be the result of evolution, sudden mutation, or in any way related to the anthropoid apes.

Who are we? Where are we from? These questions have troubled people for centuries. Textbooks have long taught us that humans evolved from apes. Today, a new science, Molecular Anthropology, tells us that: nearly 7 billion humans in the world share a common grand, grand…father, the Y-chromosome Adam. And they also share a common grand, grand…mother, the Mitochondrial Eve. The difference in DNA coding is only one-thousandth between any persons in the world. After reading this book, you will be convinced that humans could not have been the result of Evolution. In 1987, Professor Allan Wilson’s research team at UC Berkeley proposed the “Mitochondrial Eve Theory” by DNA coding that all humans originated from one woman who lived about 200,000 years ago. In 1995, Drs. Dorit et. proposed the “Adam Theory” by DNA coding of Y-Chromosomal that all humans originated from one man. There are two kinds of DNA encoding in our body: chromosomal DNA and mitochondrial DNA. The chromosome consists of three types: autosome, Y chromosome, and X chromosome. The Eve Theory is founded on the mitochondrial DNA while the Adam Theory is founded on the Y chromosome. So what can we see from the autosome? The simple biological fact that “there are no differences between the autosomes of male and female”, tells us a striking truth that is: the autosome of all men in the world must come from only one original version, and cannot be produced randomly. Therefore, the authors of this book have established a “The only one Adam theory” by the consistency of autosomal DNA coding of men and women. All human beings on earth came from him and the earliest female ancestor came from this male ancestor. In addition, we also provide you with an answer which science cannot offer: Creationism.
