The Secret History of Sharks Absents Arctic Thaw From Greenland Sharks

Summary: The Secret History of Sharks: The Rise of the Ocean's Most Fearsome Predators by John Long Tues., July 2, 2024 absents Arctic thaw from Greenland sharks.

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.

The Secret History of Sharks: The Rise of the Ocean's Most Fearsome Predators by John Long Tues., July 2, 2024 absents Arctic thaw from Greenland sharks even as it accentuates climate change.

John Long, as Strategic Professor of Paleontology at Flinders University, Adelaide, South Australia, broaches Greenland sharks because of Greenland-shark age, breedability, evolution, parasites, relatives and size. Dr. Long counts as oldest living Earthly backboned "creature" (Long:391) Greenland sharks even as the latter species culls as their lifespan perhaps 500, perhaps 500-plus years. He describes Greenland sharks as not devoting themselves to such duties as mating rituals, newborn live-birthing and parenting responsibilities afore physical and sexual development as 150-year-olds.

Greenland sharks ensue from the evolutionary equivalent of 8,500,000 (8 million 500 thousand) generations of 150-year-olds even as they emerge from stem-chondrichthyans and chondrichthyans-order shark ancestors.

Our Blue-Marble Earth already faced five mass extinctions, from Ordovician fading into Silurian, Devonian into Carboniferous, Permian into Triassic, Triassic into Jurassic, Cretaceous into Paleocene periods.

They respectively go from 485,000,000 to 444 million, 419,000,000 to 359 million, 299,000,000 to 252 million, 252,000,000 to 201 million, 145,000,000 to 66 million years ago. Stem chondrichthyans and first modern-shark families respectively hallmarked the Paleozoic era and the Mesozoic era of respectively afore 252,000,000 (252 million) and 66,000,000 (66 million) years. Dr. Long identifies the Chondrichthyes ("cartilage-fish," Greek χόνδρος ἰχθύς) class in the Animalia kingdom's ("animal/living-creature," Latin animal) Chordata phylum ("cord-/string-having," Latin chorda -ata; "nation/race/tribe," Greek φῦλον).

The Secret History of Sharks by John Long judges Greenland sharks as chondrichthyans jeopardized by global-warming climate change, overfishing and pollution rather than by Arctic thaw.

The ancestral lineage of the Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) in the Chordata phylum's Chondrichthyes class includes Cladoselache ("branch shark"), an extinct shark genus from the Famennian faunal stage (ca. 372.15 million years ago to 358.86 million years ago) in the Late Devonian epoch (382.31 million years ago to 358.86 million years ago).
Caption translation: "Day 01: Devonian. A Cladoselache follows the enormous Dunkleosteus, knowing that sooner or later it will be able to feed on the leftovers the big guy leaves from his hunts. But it has to be careful, because it could become his next prey."
A small Cladoselache (left center) swims along right lateral flank of huge Dunkleosteus, an extinct shark genus in Chordata phylum's Placodermi class from the Late Devonian epoch's two faunal stages (Frasnian and Famennian; 382.31 million years ago to 358.86 million years ago); digital illustration by Sabadell, Catalonia (Catalan: Catalunya; Occitan: Catalonha; Spanish: Cataluña), northeastern Spain-based Spanish paleontologist and scientific illustrator Jesús Gamarra González:

Paleozoic- and Mesozoic-era shark ancestors kindle such shark families as sleeper sharks, whose Somniosidae ("sleepy-pertaining," Latin somniōsus -idæ) family keepsakes such shark species as Greenland sharks.

Dr. Long links Greenland sharks to dogfish sharks of the Squaliformes ("shark-shaped," Latin squalus fōrmis) order even as he lauds Greenland sharks as "majestic" (Long:391) giants. He mentions sharks ancestral to modern species as perhaps measuring no less than 3 feet (0.9144 meters) long, no more than 10 feet (3.048 meters) long. He notes that global-warming climate change necessitated ancestral sharks navigating from shallower to deeper waters even as such niching needed bigger, heavier, longer, low temperature-tolerant bodies.

The Secret History of Sharks by John Long observes global-warming climate change for such tropical-water species as epaulette sharks rather than Arctic thaw for Greenland sharks.

Global-warming climate change, overfishing and pollution permit food-web atmospherically, maritimely, terrestrially piecemeaiing somewhat or quite unlike those previously even as such prescriptions and proscriptions preponderate surface-waterward.

Perhaps its parasites qualify as the food-web quintessence even as Dr. Long quantifies all creatures as quested by, or questing, such parasites as Greenland shark-queuing copepods. Dr. Long references 30 copepod ("handle-foot/-leg," Greek κώπη πούς) species as white sharks' crustacean ("shell-belonging," Latin crusta -acea), "flattened stubby" (Long:354), parasitic, segmented-bodied, shrimplike, small residents. He specifies as Greenland-shark parasite species a white copepod attaching to Greenland-shark eyeballs even as such suffered sight never sabotages Greenland-shark cold-, dark-, deep-water food searches.

The Secret History of Sharks by John Long tallies bigger, longer-lived, older, survival skills-evolved Greenland sharks threatened more by overfishing and pollution than by Arctic thaw.

Glasgow, Scotland-built ocean liner RMS Empress of Ireland successfully transported cargo and passengers between Britain and Canada for eight years, from the liner's maiden voyage, Liverpool to Quebec City, Thursday, June 29, 1906, through the 95th trip, Quebec City to Liverpool, Friday, May 22, 1914. The Empress of Ireland's departure from Quebec City Thursday, May 28, 1914, at 4:27 p.m. in the Saint Lawrence Estuary marked the start of the liner's 96th transatlantic crossing. Unfortunately, at 1:56 a.m. Friday, May 29, 1914, in heavy fog, Norwegian steam cargo ship SS Storstad crashed the Empress of Ireland's starboard side. About 14 minutes later, at 2:10 a.m., the Empress of Ireland sank, as described by Marion Kelch in "The Collision between the S/S Empress of Ireland and the S/S Storstad," published February 2005 on the Norway Heritage website (https://www.norwayheritage.com/articles/templates/great-disasters.asp?articleid=99&zoneid=1) and by Montréal-born Canadian journalist Rachel Watts in "Divers find long-lost artifact from sunken Empress of Ireland in St. Lawrence River," published Sep. 9, 2023, on the CBC News (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) website (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/divers-find-long-lost-artifact-from-sunken-empress-of-ireland-quebec-compass-platform-1.6959176).

Real Areas Are in Evil Under the Sun and in Death at the Sanatorium

Summary: Real areas are in Evil Under the Sun, even as there are fictional areas also, by Agatha Christie and in Death at the Sanatorium by Ragnar Jónasson.

Evil Under the Sun acclaims as themselves, under their real appellations, some real areas such as China, Egypt of ancient-Egyptian Pyramids, England, France of Paris Morgue and winter visitors, Italy with Milan Cathedral and Russia with Moscow 1,000 miles (1,609.344 kilometers) north of Nineveh. The fair-play Golden-Age detective-fiction mystery novel sometimes acclaims real areas under fictional names, such as real-area, real-life Bigbury-on Sea, Burgh Island under the fictional appellation Leathercombe Bay, Smugglers' Island; "View of Bigbury-on-Sea from Burgh Island, Devon, England," image obtained Sunday, April 12, 2009, 02:23: Jolly Janner, Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Real areas are in Evil Under the Sun, even as there are fictional also, by Agatha Christie and in Death at the Sanatorium by copyright lawyer, copyright-law professor, poet, prosist Ragnar Jónasson.

Reality buoys China, Egypt of ancient-Egyptian Pyramids, England, France of Paris Morgue and winter-visiting, Italy with Milan Cathedral, Russia with Moscow 1,000 miles north of Nineveh. Any location, since unspecified textually, in China can be where a young man chooses to continue his life away from a crime committed in southern England. Any Egyptian destinations defer to the dwelling places of the ancient Egyptians and of the ancient Pyramids, the latter domiciling in Middle Egypt and outside Cairo.

England entails such biogeographical encounters as Bagshot, Bedford Square, Chobham, Cornwall, Dartmoor, Devon, Devonshire, Harford, Lancashire, London, Margate, North Surrey, Plymouth, Princetown and the Savoy Hotel.

It also features physical addresses in London such as Scotland Yard and such facilities as Sheepstor on the Moor, Shropshire, the Stock Exchange, Surrey and Tintagel.

France guards real areas such as the Paris Morgue and such as places where some English garrison themselves, against colder United-Kingdom winters, amid warmer southern-France winters. Private detective Hercule Poirot (Greek ἥρᾱ-κλῆς, “hera-glory [ἥρως, “hero”? ὥρᾱ, “hour/season/year/youth”?]” via ἡρακλῆς, Etruscan Hercle, Latin Herculēs; French Pierre-ot, “Peter-little”) hesitates about Paris Morgue procedure standardization. Perhaps many an English girl, apart Linda Marshall, inclines toward a Paris winter where perhaps culture and language immersion institute quite a socio-economic impression when over.

Real areas join fictional areas in Evil Under the Sun even as Death at the Sanatorium jubilates named reality, apart such anonymity as an English university.

France kindles such holiday and vacation keepsakes as Deauville (from Middle French Dauville, Old French d’Auville, Auville, from Latin Auevilla), Juan les Pins and Le Touquet.

Juan-les-Pins (from Spanish Juan, “John”; French les pins, “the pine trees”) and Le Torquet (“the turn”) log the lodgings that lead English expatriots to southern France. Sailing-boat maniac Blatt mentions Deauville, Juan-les-Pins and Le Torquet “spiritual homes” (Evil:43) even as perhaps Le Torquet matters most comparatively to Margate (“white fish,” Haemulon album). Italy perhaps niches less notice than England or France even as Milan (from Latin mediolānum, Gaulish medios lānom, “middle/central field/plain”) nets tourists noticing its Cathedral steps.

Real areas occur in Evil Under the Sun and in Death at the Sanatorium even as the former detective-fiction fair-play Golden-Age mystery observes fictional, real-renamed areas.

Russia (from Latin Russia; Old East Slavic Русь; Old East Norse roþs-, “rowing-related”; Old Norse Roþrslandi, “rowing’s[-]land”; róðr, “steering-oar”), from ancient purposes proliferates among real places.

Evil Under the Sun quarters among its real-area quintessence the subsequent Russian capital city, Moscow (from Old East Slavic Москов, “dampness, moisture, swamp”), afore 20th-century quandaries. Moscow resides 1,000 miles (1,604.344 kilometers) north from Nineveh (Old English Niniue; Hebrew נִינְוֵה; Latin Nīnevē; Greek Νινευή; Akkadian Ninua; Old Babylonian Ninuwā, “fish”), Mosul, Iraq. Neither Agatha Christie nor any character says what Russia northward from Nineveh suggests of one another even as the first-sequenced, as author, spoused an Asian-specialized archaeologist.

Evil Under the Sun by Agatha Christie (Monday, Sep. 15, 1890-Monday, Jan. 12, 1976) transmits real areas like Death at the Sanatorium and fictional, renamed-real areas.
