The Marc Rennsalaer (pronounced ‘Rensler’) series of twelve novels is a fictional presentation of Michael Bradley’s life work told through the career and adventures of a French-American soldier-of-fortune and trader. The series is set mainly in southern France along the Canal du Midi and later in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk in England.
Religious archaeology and history, including the legend of the Holy Grail, are the major themes of The Magdalene Mandala, Scripture and Mary Totten.
The twelve novels chronicle the gradual emergence of a new world between 2011 and 2018 starting with today’s energy crisis that is further complicated by an impending celestial disaster called the ‘Goldfarb Event’ (Bone).
Energy shortages and changes in basic social orientation compel Rennsalaer and others to invent many appropriate technology devices that are featured in all the novels. All are described in detail and some are illustrated. They all work.
Anthropological, religious and geographic conflict in the aftermath of the Goldfarb Event is the primary theme of Lord of the Pyrenees Marches, The Jesus Voyage and The New Atlantis Alliance.
Each novel deals with one or more of the major themes but always against the richly human background of gender relations (Hearts, Higher Than the Trees), fashion, politics and geographic conflict (Lord Protector, Outremer, Albion).
Sample chapters of the further novels of the Marc Rennsalaer series will be posted as they are proofread and copy-edited.
Canadian Author of 23 books, 62, biography in Canadian Who's Who as "Michael de Sackville", seeks illustrator for a series of novels, plus one nonfiction book.
Michael Bradley seeks Toronto-area "Simone de Beauvoir" (and friends, including an illustrator?) for intellectual conversations involving literature, religion, anthropology, archaeology and history.
Two recent articles (attached), the first published on August 29, 2006 in the London Telegraph, and the second published on Tuesday, November 8, by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, as reported by Reuters News Agency, indicate that Neanderthal interbreeding with other European people may have resulted in various physical characteristics, including the enlarged brain size of modern Western humanity.
In effect, these two article indicate that Neaderthals were also ancestors of modern Western humanity and that a significant number of Western people alive today retain vestiges of Neanderthal characteristics, both physical and "mental".
This is precisely what Michael Bradley said in The Iceman Inheritance in 1978, a book that was excerpted in The Globe and Mail, The Calgary Herald and The Ottawa Journal in early December 1978. The same facts were restated in greater detail and more recently in the Epilogue of Michael Bradley's Swords at Sunset (2005).
Back in 1978, the modern tools of DNA analysis and forensic examination were not yet widely available, being still somewhat experimental. Archaeological and physical anthropological evidence were available, but the "new" DNA techniques were used to challenge and supposedly nullify the evidence of physical anthropology.
This was easy to do in the popular media because DNA analysis was and is based on statistical probability...and a researcher can "prove" almost anything with statistics. As someone once put it: 'first come lies, then damned lies and then statistics.'
Therefore, Michael Bradley and The Iceman Inheritance have been attacked, ridiculed and suppressed for the past 28 years in both North American media and education.
Strenuous opposition and suppression were directed against anyone who suggested that Neanderthals had made a genetic contribution to modern Western humanity and that certain modern ethnic groups retain the most concentrated examples of Neanderthal genes and vestiges among modern Western people.
Various "DNA statistical studies", such as the Stoneking-Paabo DNA analysis published in Cell Journal in July 1997, were concocted to deny any possibility of Neanderthals having interbred with "early modern humanity" (which was never defined). We have also all been subjected to propaganda such as the Journey of Man television documentary claiming that there are essentially no geographic genetic races at all. And Neanderthal has become a pejorative expression referring to the "fact" that Neanderthals were not "human" (again, not defined).
These DNA "studies" were always criticized by the scientific community (the 1997 Stoneking-Paabo study was called "a statistical house of cards" by one world class geneticist, Dr. Alan Templeton), but these criticisms seldom got coverage in mass media.
As DNA analysis became more routine and truly proper statistical methodology was standardized, DNA analysis gradually began generally to support and confirm the previous findings of physical anthropology (see Dr. Carlton Coon's The Origin of Races, 1968). And the sheer volume of evidence began to be reported in the popular press.
The study published on Tuesday, as reported by Reuters, substantiates Neanderthal admixture in modern Western humanity...and vindicates Michael Bradley's work, as does the earlier study also attached.
Bradley wrote in The Iceman Inheritance that the slightly larger brains, on average, of modern Western humanity seem to be a part of the Neanderthal genetic legacy. But the even larger brains and slightly higher IQ of Far Eastern peoples may have another genetic source.
But, unfortunately, slightly larger brains are not the only evidence of Neanderthal heritage in Western humanity.
There are other intellectual, emotional and philosophical characteristics in the genetic package of the Neanderthal heritage. These are: a mentality that gives a numerical and materialistic emphasis to "intelligence"; little or no visual artistic ability; anti-feminist and anti-sexual emotions and social orientation; sexual mutilation as an expression of "religious" affiliation; extremely strong in-group cohesion; high aggression against all other groups and a tendency toward fanatical monotheism in "religions" that Neanderthal-descended people invented.
These characteristics are obvious from the geographical evidence of the last Neanderthal refuge -- the Caucasus (hence "Caucasian"), Elburz, Taurus, Zagros and Hindu Kush Mountains of the Middle East.
Michael Bradley is willing to write a series of newspaper articles dealing with the importance of last Tuesday's study published by the National Academy of Sciences and its relevance to contemporary world crises.
From an anthropological perspective, the chronic crisis in the Middle East is not primarily of a "religious" nature. It is primarily a genetic struggle for world dominance between two strains of people who retain significant Neanderthal characteristics, Arabs and Jews.
Michael Bradley has also prepared a new edition of The Iceman Inheritance, with new illustrations, including a discussion of the last three decades of DNA evidence and its distortion as ethnic propaganda. This should be of interest to book publishers.
Michael Bradley studied Neanderthal anthropology under Dr. Carlton Coon, Professor Emeritus, University of Pennsylvania.
There is a little Neanderthal in a lot of us
By Roger Highfield, Science Editor
(Filed: 29/08/2006)People who have large noses, a stocky build and a beetle brow may indeed be a little Neanderthal, according to a genetic study. But the good news is that other research concludes that Neanderthals were much more like us than previously thought.
People of European descent may be five per cent Neanderthal, according to a study published in the journal PLoS Genetics, which suggests we all have a sprinkling of archaic DNA in our genes.
"Instead of a population that left Africa 100,000 years ago and replaced all other archaic human groups, we propose that this population interacted with another population that had been in Europe for much longer, maybe 400,000 years," says Dr Vincent Plagnol, of the University of Southern California, who with Dr Jeffrey Wall analysed 135 different regions of the human genetic code.
They looked at 34 people from Utah with ancestors from Northern and Western Europe and Yoruba people from West Africa. Using statistics and computer modelling, the researchers focused on linkage "disequilibriums", or sections within genes that did not make sense if only modern human matings are considered.
The missing genetic links only fit if some other hominid population is introduced. "We found that a simple model cannot explain the data if we do not add an 'ancestral population'," said Dr Plagnol.
Dr Plagnol explains that different parts of the genome have different ancestry, so an individual could have a fraction of a certain chromosome that is inherited from a Neanderthal, but still have mitochondrial DNA which is "very typical Homo sapiens".
A second study has concluded that Neanderthals were much more like modern humans than had been previously thought, after finds from one of the most famous palaeolithic sites in Europe were re-examined by Bristol University archaeologist, Prof Joao Zilhao, and his French colleagues.
Prof Zilhao has been able to show that sophisticated artefacts such as personal ornaments found in the Châtelperronian culture of France and Spain were genuinely associated with Neanderthals around 44,000 years ago, rather than acquired from modern humans living nearby.
Could our big brains come from Neanderthals?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Neanderthals may have given the modern humans who replaced them a priceless gift -- a gene that helped them develop superior brains, U.S. researchers reported Tuesday.
And the only way they could have provided that gift would have been by interbreeding, the team at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the University of Chicago said.
Their study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provides indirect evidence that modern Homo sapiens and so-called Neanderthals interbred at some point when they lived side by side in Europe.
"Finding evidence of mixing is not all that surprising. But our study demonstrates the possibility that interbreeding contributed advantageous variants into the human gene pool that subsequently spread," said Bruce Lahn, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute researcher at the University of Chicago who led the study.
Scientists have been debating whether Neanderthals, who died out about 35,000 years ago, ever bred with modern Homo sapiens. Neanderthals are considered more primitive, with robust bones but a smaller intellect than modern humans.
Lahn's team found a brain gene that appears to have entered the human lineage about 1.1 million years ago, and that has a modern form, or allele, that appeared about 37,000 years ago -- right before Neanderthals became extinct.
"The gene microcephalin (MCPH1) regulates brain size during development and has experienced positive selection in the lineage leading to Homo sapiens," the researchers wrote.
Positive selection means the gene conferred some sort of advantage, so that people who had it were more likely to have descendants than people who did not. Lahn's team estimated that 70 percent of all living humans have this type D variant of the gene.
"By no means do these findings constitute definitive proof that a Neanderthal was the source of the original copy of the D allele. However, our evidence shows that it is one of the best candidates," Lahn said.
The researchers reached their conclusions by doing a statistical analysis of the DNA sequence of microcephalin, which is known to play a role in regulating brain size in humans. Mutations in the human gene cause development of a much smaller brain, a condition called microcephaly.
By tracking smaller, more regular mutations, the researchers could look at DNA's "genetic clock" and date the original genetic variant to 37,000 years ago.
They noted that this D allele is very common in Europe, where Neanderthals lived, and more rare in Africa, where they did not. Lahn said it is not yet clear what advantage the D allele gives the human brain.
"The D alleles may not even change brain size; they may only make the brain a bit more efficient if it indeed affects brain function," Lahn said.
Now his team is looking for evidence of Neanderthal origin for other human genes.

On October 10, 2000, my full-page article "In Search of the Lost Monarch" was published in the Vancouver Sun's Insight section. This piece was about the Queen of Sheba and its immediately topical news peg was the upcoming expedition of the University of Calgary to the Queen's traditional capital of Ma'rib, now in modern Yemen.
In this article, I pointed out that Ethiopian traditions of the Queen of Sheba were fairly definitive. For example, her name was remembered as Makeba. It was, on the contrary, the Israelite kings David and Solomon whose existence seemed to be more problematical. I also pointed out, relying on various categories of evidence, that the Israelite "Promised Land" could not have been in Palestine, but was somewhere on the Red Sea coast of Western Arabia. In this, I followed Kamal Salibi's linguistic research (more recently verified by Chaim Rabin). I suggested certain avenues of further research in this article.
This article got me blacklisted in most of the major daily English Canadian newspapers, almost all of which are owned by the Jewish Asper family of Winnipeg-based Global CanWest. This article also resulted in the demotion of the Vancouver Sun's Insight Editor, Chris Rose.
Dr. Bernard Leeman was apparently already working along these lines, although my article may have encouraged him that this highly controversial line of research was worth pursuing. In any event, Dr. Leeman wrote to me in June 2005 announcing the upcoming publication of his book Queen of Sheba and Biblical Scholarship scheduled for July 2005 release by the Queensland Academic Press of Australia. He kindly mentioned me in his Acknowledgements (page 5). On September 5th, Dr. Leeman also gave me permission to reprint a two-page promo of his book as Appendix I of Swords at Sunset. I am trying to convince my new publisher, Manor House Publishing Inc., to include an Appendix I although it is a little late in the game since the book may already be at the printers'. This link will take you to this synopsis of Dr. Leeman's new book and a map that's worth many thousands of words.
Basically, this work vindicates the historical reconstruction of the real "Exodus destination" offered in Chapter 3 of Swords at Sunset.
The Old Testament did not make an innocent mistake in placing the "Promised Land" in Palestine. Nor were the Zionists following naive religious loyalty to the Old Testament when they began to agitate for the creation of the modern State of Israel. The Zionist movement began about 1850 to 1870 and its notable personality was Theodore Herzl who succeeded in organizing the first Zionist Conference in 1896.
But some Jewish scholars somewhere among the Zionists knew very well that the real "traditional Jewish homeland" was in Western Arabia and not in Palestine. The major problem for the Zionists was, however, that Western Arabia was firmly under the control of the Saudi Royalty, was an ally of Britain which had fought with the legendary "Lawrence of Arabia" against the Turks and which was definitely not available for settlement and takeover.
Nonetheless, someone among leading Zionists knew where the truly historical Jewish homeland had been. The great danger of the Zionist deception was simply that an earlier version of the Old Testament (at least the Pentateuch, Kings I and II and perhaps Psalms) could be discovered at any time beneath the sands of Western Arabia. Two prominent Jewish orientalists, the Austrian Edouard Glaser and the Frenchman Joseph Halévy, were therefore dispatched to Western Arabia in order to steal or "confiscate" as many inscriptions as they could carry back to Europe. Thankfully for the Zionists of the time nothing "bombshell biblical" was discovered among the 1500-odd stolen inscriptions that Glaser and Halévy were able to recover.
But it still remains possible, or even probable, that an earlier version of the Old Testament may yet be recovered from Western Arabia or Yemen. The Semites knew writing from about 1400 BC and indeed Western Arabia and the Queen of Sheba's old realm of Saba (scholars prefer "Sabaea") are full of inscriptions. It's only a matter of time before an embarassingly early version of at least some of the Old Testament turns up from that area. Indeed, given the long period of time in which the Semites knew writing, it is a bit suspicious that the oldest version of the present Old Testament dates only from about 530 BC. This is because it must have been rewritten and canonized in its present form (ascribed to Ezra)after the "Babylonian Captivity" and its major purpose was to transplant the corpus of Jewish history from Western Arabia to Palestine.
Palestine, unlike Western Arabia, could be negotiated and settled by 19th and 20th century Zionists because Lord Rothchild and other Jewish financiers had a great deal of power in Britain and they saw to it that Palestine became a British Mandated Territory after World War I. By the way, several "unnecessary" military campaigns were fought during World War I in order to ensure that Palestine was occupied by Britain before any conclusion of the War. Anzac troups bore the brunt of these unnecessary casualties.
Dr. Bernard Leeman's book Queen of Sheba and Biblical Scholarship is well worth buying or ordering direct from the Queensland Academic Press. Read this two-page synopsis with the map which is worth many thousands of words.
An anthropological conjecture to explain the historical aggression, geographical expansion, anti-feminism and fanaticism of Middle Eastern monotheistic religions (Judaism, Judeo-Christianity, and Judeo-Islam). And further conjectures about Star Wars and the great struggle to defeat Esau's Empire.
This book isn't really completely ready for sale. However, a North Carolina engineer wanted a copy of the complete text. This has not been formatted for a book, it is still "screen size", double spaced, and Michael has never been able to find an artist to do some of the illustrations although the technology is described in the text. Further, some photographs are missing in later chapters. The text runs about 430 pages and I have cobbled this together mainly so that the Carolina engineer who is a great fan of Michael's work can have a copy. Even in this incompleted form, Hot Air and Ancient Wonders is well worth buying and reading.

How many times can Michael Bradley be so right and still be ignored? As long as there's Jewish control over North American media, that's how long.
Read the above article datelined Wednesday, October 27, 2004 and then read Chapter 1 of Esau's Empire.
Michael predicted this discovery in March 2001 in a report for Billiton International Metals of The Hague and restated the prediction in May 2004 in Esau's Empire (Chapter 1).
Michael would suggest the name, which he has used in correspondence with anthropologists, of "Australohomopithecines" to describe the many kinds of "not-quite-humans" who must have come out of East Africa 2-3 million years ago. The Homo habilis subspecies would be only one of them.
"Michael Bradley" is the pen name of a Jewish and respected author of twenty books previously published in Canada, the U.S. and UK.
He has lectured at Princeton University, Yale University, Vanderbilt University, York University, the University of Toronto and Kennedy-King College as well as many other educational institutions.
His biography has been selected for Canadian Who's Who since 1993 because of his contribution to Canadian cultural life. His biographical entry can be found under "de Sackville, Michael".
"But like many Jewish writers and thinkers -- Sigmund Freud, A.N. Poliak, Arthur Koestler, Joseph Jacobs, Moishe Miesnes and others -- I have valued human life and values over specifically Judaic loyalties. I have tried to follow the guidance of "Benedict" (Baruch) Spinoza, another Jewish student of the human condition. He said: 'I have striven not to laugh at human actions, not to weep at them, nor to hate them, but to understand them.'"
