My book is about:
How today's Earth was formed from 'Tectonic' movement and follows with how birds began to fly, what is migration of birds, contraditing the 'Out of Africa' theory with how man got to Australia from Africa and includes the evolution of penguins,whales, river penguins, etc.
It sounds fantacy but it is all factual scientific deduction.
