This Substack is the only place on the internet that can promise to reveal groundbreaking discoveries of historical significance. And deliver.
This newsletter and podcast will address the most important questions facing the world today while keeping you up-to-date on the most significant and latest discoveries in science, history, politics, and literature. Topics will include everything from the question of whether we have free will to “Who wrote Shakespeare?” —from the evolutionary origins of politics to the horrifying explanations for why we have found no evidence for alien civilizations (or what scientists refer to as “the Fermi paradox.”) Best of all, I will no longer publish in scientific journals or academic presses but will instead post the latest results of my research here. Previously, my discoveries have made news reports around the world—including the front page of The New York Times. And I have many more new findings to divulge. So this Substack is the only place on the internet that can promise to reveal groundbreaking discoveries of historical significance. And deliver.
“The Steve Jobs of the Shakespeare community… A once in a generation–or several generations–find.” –The New York Times
Dennis McCarthy
Dennis McCarthy is perhaps best known as the “Rogue Scholar” of New York Times bestselling author Michael Blanding's, In Shakespeare's Shadow: A Rogue Scholar's Quest to Reveal the True Source Behind the World's Greatest Plays (Hachette Books, 2022). He has spent many years publishing various discoveries in books for academic presses and in the flagship journals of geophysics, biogeography, and Shakespeare studies. As noted above, these findings have made the front page of The New York Times, a cover story for The Boston Globe Magazine, and news reports around the world. McCarthy’s first book, Here Be Dragons / How the study of animal and plant distributions revolutionized our views of life and Earth (Oxford University Press, 2009), introduced the subject of biogeography (the intersection of evolution and geography) to the general public, and many reviewers highlighted the book’s ability to transform the way we see the world. Science News described it as “fascinating and revelatory;” The Huffington Post wrote: “At the end of the book you will be someone different;” and Science Magazine declared, “we will never look at the world in the same way again.” McCarthy first generated widespread attention with a 2007 paper in The Journal of Geophysical Research, when he became the first researcher to provide the correct explanation for the lopsided ocean-continent distribution of the Earth. This became the subject of news reports throughout the world, and Der Spiegel devoted a large article to this JGR paper. His latest book Thomas North: The Original Author of Shakespeare’s Plays exposes the authorship of the old plays that Shakespeare later adapted for public theater.
