Placing this major change of perspective within the context of a range of ancient debates, Palmer discusses such topics as the history of the solar system, present-day extraterrestrial threats to earth, hominid evolution, and the fossil record.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735452614944,"sku":"NEW0306457512","price":107.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/611nYwo--OL.jpg?v=1779485436","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/controversy-catastrophism-and-evolution-the-ongoing-debate-0306457512","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
