DESCRIPTION: The mainmast or Subject Tree of The Telson Spur, this page gives a more detailed analysis of the main subject areas than that given on the top page, The Snark Hunter's Page, or in the somewhat more comprehensive Site Map (Table of Contents) of the Guide for Snark Hunters. (An alphabetic listing of topics may be found in the latter's Site Index.) The subordinate pages or "field nodes" comprise a list of links to mainly academic resources organized on the theme of necessity vs. contingency in the study of time and evolution.

KEYWORDS: epic of evolution; palaetiology; time; evolution; universe; cosmology; cosmogony; earth; life; man; culture; humanities; history; ideas; world-views; myth; religion; philosophy; science; information; research; exploration; discovery; space; bioastronomy; SETI; contact; future; jumplist; links; meta resource; subject index


Bound to the earth in its headlong flight,
Whence and whither we do not know,
Cleaving the awful void of night
With frost above and fire below,
What is the goal toward which we fly?
What does it mean to live and die?

John L. Stoddard
