TAXILA'S CHILDREN
Hans-Jurgen Hauptmeier was a world renowned anthropologist, circa three decades prior
to the Pollution Emergency and Evacuation. His early career was spent in the study of
primitive tribal groupings resident in the Amazon Basin of the South American continent. He
earned the reputation for brilliance in his field, being accepted as an authority on the subject
of primitive ancestry. He had advanced ideas on the relationship of animal behaviour patterns
with those of the human race. He made his last visit to the South American continent three
years prior to his death. The visit was terminated abruptly when he became involved in a
serious accident which nearly caused his death. He returned to the European continent and
began a tour of lectures. He published a paper and presented it at a meeting of the Royal
Society. Extraordinary events surrounded this meeting. The paper which was presented on
that occasion, became known as the Hauptmeier Hypothesis. Its publication provoked
unstable conditions throughout the world - in the main, due to religious antagonism. It is
believed that the explosion which resulted in his death, can be attributed to fundamental
religious fanaticism. The Hypothesis is remarkable in that it predicted precisely, the date of
the irretrievable cycle of events which led to the Evacuation of Old Earth.
