Remember, everything is right until it's wrong. You'll know when it's wrong. Ernest Hemingway.
Two of the most significant questions for humanity are: how did we come into being? And are we alone in the universe? Every living human being will likely wonder to themselves, at least once, whether intelligent life exists somewhere beyond this planet. It's a question that's played on the minds of leading scientists from many fields. The mist-shrouded origins of our species and the creatures that preceded our arrival have led to a thousand different creation myths and dozens of religions. Scientists in various camps offer their own competing theories for the first emergence of life on Earth and the process of our evolution. The origin of the human race has probably been one of the most debated issues in our history as well as in evolutionary biology over the last few decades, and controversy about the origin of human beings continues to rage even today, nearly 150 years after the publication of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species.
So where did humans come from? Creationism and evolution are two popular theories of how humankind came to be. Advocates of the creationism perspective continue to argue that the biblical story of creation in which we were created in an instant by a god is as viable and as valid as the evolutionary perspective while scientists largely assume that the argument should be overtly true. The argument should be overtly true. and that the evolutionary explanation is supported by scientific evidence. As we unravel more mysteries from our past, more questions to be answered. Does the theory of evolution best explain where life came from? Homo sapiens is an evolving species but some researchers speculated that DNA shows unmistakable signs of planning that evolution is a process of evolution. But the theory of evolution alone cannot explain.
The theory of evolution is a process of evolution. Highly intelligent humans seem to appear almost overnight, about 200,000 years ago. But the theory of evolution is not yet clear. So how did we evolve so quickly from primitive apes to highly advanced beings? Is it possible that another species deliberately manipulated our genetic code? The answer is the following: Every day more and more physicists, anthropologists, geneticists, and historians are pushing the boundaries of accepted theories suggesting that extraterrestrials indeed influenced mankind. Perhaps their impact is even more powerful. As genetic engineering continues to evolve from discovering DNA to sequencing the human genome, to cloning animals, and even genetically modifying human embryos - we should ask ourselves: Are we playing God? Or maybe are we playing alien? So if you're among those people who wonder what would be the possibility that a more intelligent life form played a role in developing our DNA, stay tuned as we'd like to share with you some of the remarkable discoveries being discussed in the scientific community so you can develop your own opinion about if our genetic makeup is more than just a random hand of cards.
Let's take a closer look at some of the most The first is the evolution of humans. Millions of years before modern industry, agriculture and civilization, the world stage was set for one creature's unprecedented rise. The story of human evolution began about 7 million years ago. And over time, an ensemble cast of over 20 early human species came to the fore. The story of human evolution began about 10 million years ago. Most of them became extinct, while others might have been ancestors to today's humans. While a cast of over 20 hominin species have walked this earth, only one still remains. According to the theory of human evolution, Homo sapiens, shaped by millions of years of evolution, embarked on a long journey of exploration and industry to create the world we know toda
Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution developed by the English naturalist Charles Darwin and others. Stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small inherited variations that increase an individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce. Modern anthropological research has revealed that Homo sapiens have an incredibly mysterious evolutionary origin. Our closest living relatives are the chimpanzees, yet we're astonishingly unlike them and the other members of the great ape family. While it's common to hear claims that we share 99% of our DNA with chimps, this has more recently proven to be a fundamentally flawed claim. When directly compared, the structure of the respective genomes has less than 95% direct concordance. One million of genetic differences exist between our chimp cousins and us, and many are far from trivial.
Some smaller number of human genomic anomalies remain inexplicable without considering influences beyond the understood evolutionary forces. The 'missing link' is a term often thrown about by the media to describe fossils that are believed to bridge the evolutionary split between higher primates, such as apes and humans. The term 'missing link' was first used in 1851 by Charles Darwin's mentor, Charles Lyell, to describe samples of fossils he'd found. Eight years later, Darwin published 'The Origin of Species', in which, contrary to popular belief, he never used the term while describing his theory of human evolution. Over the years, many 'missing link' fossils have been revealed to be hoaxes, and the most famous was the Piltdown Man. In 1912, a skull and jawbone found in a gravel pit in England were declared by scientists to be concrete proof of the connection between humans and apes, the missing link.
But the Piltdown Man was not the long-awaited missing link, as more than 40 years later, the Piltdown Man was proven to be a fraud. It was nothing more than the lower jawbone of an orangutan combined together with the skull of modern human. According to Darwin's theory of evolution, natural selects traits that will give species an advantage. If we compare primates and today's humans, we can see that primates are much stronger than us. Not just that, but they also have much better night vision and walk more efficiently. These are all advantages, beneficial adaptations that should have been passed on to future generations and versions of the species, according to Darwin's theory. Maybe we can say that we didn't need all of that, because we have larger brains. We're smarter and more intelligent.
Actually, Darwin's theory says that intelligence and strength that would clearly give us even bigger advantages over every other species on the planet. It does make sense, according to Darwin's theory, that we might sacrifice our ability to eat, drink, and breathe all at the same time in exchange for the ability to speak. Maybe it would have been impossible for nature to evolve a throat capable of performing both functions. On the other hand, the ability to speak allows us to communicate much more efficiently than other primates. But still, it remains a mystery how our throat was so radically redesigned in the evolution between Australopithecus and Homo erectus. We lack the fossils, another missing link, to show how this transition actually happened.
The primates we're supposedly descended from all have dark skin and hair. Dark skin protects primates from sunlight, while their hair protects them from the sun and also extreme cold. If humans couldn't make clothes to protect us from the sun and find or create shelter to protect us from the cold, we'd potentially die of sunburn or all freeze to death. Dark skin and hair are basic adaptations for survival on this planet and they're features that would possibly lead to the extinction of our species if our intelligence and ability to create clothing and shelters did not compensate for them. Could the existence of pale-skinned, hairless humans, along with the many so-called 'missing links', question some parts of Darwin's theory of evolution? Besides all that, humans have an extra organ, appendix, that we no longer use.
We also have more difficulty giving birth than other animals. Our head-to-body ratio is off the charts. We're completely out of place in our environment and don't blend or camouflage to our surroundings. Instead, we adopt our surroundings to us. All of that leaves us with more questions. Why primates well-adapted to this planet's environment, while we are not adapted to it at all? If we didn't evolve from primates, then where did we come from? Can decoding the human genome also decode the origin of the humanity? The Human Genome Project was an international research effort to determine the sequence of the human genome and identify the genes it contains. The main goals of the Human Genome Project were to provide a complete and accurate sequence of the 3 billion DNA base pairs that make up the human genome.
The result of the Human Genome Project would allow researchers to begin to understand the blueprint for building a person. As researchers learned more about the functions of genes and proteins, that knowledge would have had a major impact in the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and the life sciences. So, for example, if we could identify all the genes that make up a human, then we can use them as medicine and give them to people who have genetic defects. When the Human Genome Project started, it was estimated there were going to be over 100,000 human genes. Science got all excited about it. Guess who else was interested in? The pharmaceutical industry. Why? 100,000 genes means 100,000 new drugs. As they started with the project, they recognized one important fact in evolution.
There is an ancient picture of what's called the Tree of Life or Universal Tree of Life. And on that tree are presented the organisms on this planet in a hierarchy of more advanced and more advanced organisms. The bottom of the tree makes the most primitive organisms on the planet, bacteria, to the top of the tree is located man. So before they start to work with a human genome with over 100,000 genes, the scientists had to test out the mechanism of counting how many genes are present in an organism. To do that, they decided to start with more primitive organisms with fewer genes, as it would make it easier for them to see how many genes were in the genome
and make the structure warm, less than a half millimeter in length. Very primitive organism. It turns out it had about 20,000 genes. That was exactly what the scientists expected. A small, primitive organism, with a lesser number of genes. As you go up to the tree of life forms, more complex life forms, it will be a greater number of genes. The next organism they checked was more complex than the worm. It was the fruit fly. But when they did the genome, they were shocked; as this very complex organism had approximately 15,000 genes, 5,000 less than the primitive worm they studied first. That didn't cause them to stop. They continued, and the Human Genome Project was completed in 2003 when the results came out.
And it blew everyone's minds, because they started with the expectation that there were going to be over 100,000 genes. And how many did they find? 20,000 genes. The same number of genes in a 1,271 cell miniature worm as there are in a 50 trillion celled human body. The conclusion is that reading the genes does not determine the character of evolution. Genes are not the measurement of evolution. And now we have to take another look and ask ourselves, what is evolution based on if it's not based on the genes? In 2013, physicist Vladimir I. Shcherbak of the National University of Kazakhstan and astrobiologist Maxim A. Makukov carried out a mathematical analysis of the human genome. And they claimed that in human DNA there's a mathematical code so sophisticated, it simply cannot be explained by an evolutionary process.
They claimed to have found the use of decimal notation, logical transformations, and the use of the abstract symbol of zero in DNA code. The research, published in the science journal Icarus, pointed out that human DNA is not mathematical; it is perfectly ordered patterns of ideographs, which means our DNA uses symbols to express physical concepts similar to how we use them to convey the language. Assuming that it was somehow created randomly by nature, the Kazakhstan scientists also suggested something radical, that humans may have an extraterrestrial stamp embedded into our genetic code. A mathematical message that would not be explained by Darwin's theory of biological evolution. That would be something like a possible intelligence signal within the human genetic code.
So if that was true, it would be similar to when SETI in 1977 received an unknown and strong radio signal from space, the mysterious WOW signal. Their radical theory suggests our bodies are waiting for a signal from those creators and when we get it, our biology will know. Perhaps that makes sense for SETI to expand the scope as per those scientists. One of the suggested alternatives to radio is the biological media, as they believe there is a possible intelligence signal within the human genetic code. Genomic DNA is already used on Earth to store non-biological information. The genetic code is but stronger in noise immunity; it is the genetic code. Once fixed, the code might stay unchanged over cosmological timescales. In fact, it's the most durable construct known.
Therefore, it represents an exceptionally reliable storage for an intelligence signature. Makoukov and Sherbak contend that life, instead of life developing as a result of random processes, maybe extraterrestrials had a hand in it. They suggest that genetic code appears to have been invented outside the solar system already several billion years ago. This idea is not new; it's a variation on the theory of panspermia which claims that life did not arise on Earth from chemicals, made from life elsewhere in the universe. But, of course, that begs the question: Even if the genetic code is ultimately considered the handprint of an extraterrestrial grand designer, then who designed the designer? To know that we know what we know and to know that we don't know what we don't know, that is true knowledge. Nicholas Copernicus.
Life in space has been making the news, and on November 20, 2012, NPR reported that NASA's Mars Curiosity rover had gathered some important data. The principal Mars rover investigator, John Grotzinger, claimed this data was going to be one for the history books. It's looking really good. He refused to give any more details because his team had to confirm their findings. Shortly thereafter, NASA tried to downplay his statements, stating it was the mission which was historic rather than a specific finding. Despite this backtracking, some speculated that organic compounds had been found and others that it was life. This was the first time that had been discovered. Two weeks later, on December 3, NASA confirmed Curiosity had found organic compounds, but it was still uncertain whether they were indigenous to Mars or had been brought by Curiosity.
Most of the speculation had suggested that organic compounds were the historical finding. These are also important because they confirm that the stuff of life, raw materials, or the finding of organic molecules in meteorites are far more common than first thought. Just like the discovery of extremophiles, which showed that once life got started, it could be found in unexpected places. The advances in the search for extraterrestrial signs of life suggest that the stuff of life, and hence life, could be commonly found throughout the universe. Francis Crick, a British molecular biologist, and Leslie Orgel, a British chemist, suggested the theory of directed panspermia; they once proposed that life on Earth was the result of a deliberate infection designed by extraterrestrial intelligent life forms that had purposely fled Mother Nature's seed to a new home in the Sun.
So did alien seeds to feed life on Earth. The origin of life is one of the great unsolved mysteries of science. How life originated on Earth is a question people have pondered for ages. There are many theories, from those based on religious doctrine to the purely scientific, to others that border on science fiction. One possibility that hovers on this border is the panspermia theory, which suggests that life on Earth did not originate on our planet, but was transported here from somewhere else in the universe. While this idea may seem straight out of a science fiction novel, some evidence suggests that an extraterrestrial origin of life may not be such a far-out idea. The panspermia hypothesis suggests that life began on Earth when the seeds of life, already present in the universe, arrived here from space.
How did these seeds or microbes get here? Proposed transport methods include meteorites, comets, and spacecraft. So is there any evidence supporting this hypothesis? Let's see. The DNA molecule is responsible for all life on this planet. There were not multiple events that gave rise to life on Earth, as one would expect if emergence was chaotic and random. If life could potentially happen spontaneously anywhere at any time, why do we instead have evidence that all life began with the same single-celled organisms based on identical DNA strands? Life emerged once only. From there it quickly took root, and that unique process gave rise to all the life forms we know to have existed. There is no evidence to suggest that in the subsequent 4.5 billion years, chemical processes ever again produced biological organisms.
There is nothing unreasonable in the idea that intelligent races might choose to seed barren planets, perhaps seeking to terraform them for their later use, or just to ensure the continuation of their genetic code where they are a localized extinction event. Alternatively, the dispersal of life across the galaxy might represent a long-duration scientific experiment. If that latter suggestion reflects reality, it might also mean extraterrestrial entities would take an interest in the process of evolution as it occurs on planets they've seeded. It's also possible that these entities could be visiting a future future or redirect some part of their experiment. If Earth is some cosmic petri dish, it may be that various significant events throughout our evolutionary history were directed rather than merely occurring through the workings of chance.
Several key moments in evolutionary history have been highlighted as being rather anomalous. Direct discoveries have supported the evolution of life in space, with some of these reaching our planet in more recent times. As part of ongoing research studies first published in December of 2013 in the Journal of Cosmology, Professor Milton Wainwright and his colleagues at the University of Buckingham claimed they were able to isolate from samples collected by a balloon in Earth's stratosphere an extraterrestrial life form based or packaged in a titanium spear. Wainwright and his team conducted an experiment, which involved sending a balloon to the stratosphere, an upper section of Earth's atmosphere. The researchers said they isolated from samples of dust and particulate matter collected from the stratosphere an extremely small titanium spear. The spear made an impact crater on the sampling stub.
They found out that the particle was traveling at speed from space when it was sampled. They asked their critics to point out a mechanism that can elevate material from Earth to heights of 22 to 27 kilometers and magically sieve out all of the biological and non-biological material to leave only the unusual biological entities they found, these being between 10 to 300 microns, large to be carried from Earth to the stratosphere. The collected sample of small microscopic spears was about the width of a human hair and made of titanium and vanadium. This particle had threads of life on the outside and a gooey biological liquid shooting out from its center. The University of Buckingham scientists say that the spear could be an example of directed panspermia, a spread of living systems by space travel to suitable environments by intelligent life forms in space, and by that theory it was sent to Earth by some unknown civilization in order to continue seeding the planet with new life. This seeming piece of science fiction called directed panspermia would probably not be taken
seriously by Sir Francis Crick, the Nobel Prize recipient for DNA research. Although they are certain the speck fell from space, they are unable to determine its exact origin. However, they believe it contains some form of genetic material that could develop into an alien life form if it lands on Earth or infects an Earth organism by replicating within the organism
with its own DNA. Other researchers pointed out possibilities of sinister intentions, deliberately engineered with a life-threatening virus then sent to Earth with malicious intent. What is the chance of this life-using particle arriving randomly with a comet? Well, considering its nature and its properties, it had all the signs of having been sent intentionally. The discovery leaves us with another question. Is it possible alien life engaged in developing our own? Another theory explains the idea that extraterrestrials manipulated our DNA to create a mixed bloodline on our planet. The most notable piece of evidence to support this theory is something called the RH factor. There are four main blood groups: A, B, AB, and O. And the positive and negative refers to your RH type.
RH type actually refers to the presence or absence of the RhD antigen in particular, not of Rh antigens generally. Antigens are molecules that produce an immune response, so when a foreign substance or toxin enters our systems, antigens tell our bodies to attack them. The absence of any Rh antigens is extremely rare. Health problems may occur for the unborn child of a mother with Rh-negative blood when the baby is Rh-positive. If a woman with Rh-negative blood becomes pregnant with an Rh-positive baby, her body will produce antibodies sending signals to her immune system that her fetus is essentially toxic. In that case, the woman's body will kill its own child unless given a rare antibody known as RhD immunoglobulin. Look at nature. There is no sign of that kind of self-destruction biologically.
We can see some similar incompatibilities and sometimes even complete infertility at hybrid animals. For example, when a horse and donkey mate, the genetic differences will result in a sterile mule. The same goes for a liger, a hybrid offspring of a male lion and a female tiger, a species whose chromosomes don't match so they produce infertile offspring. They are a man-made animal and not considered a real species because they would not occur naturally in the wild. There is a similar incompatibility between Rh-negative mothers and Rh-positive babies. Some scientists believe Rh-negative blood is just a mutation that came about at some unknown time in our evolution. But on the other hand, this has led some researchers to suggest that Rh-negative blood must be of non-human origin, and what would be a chance that an alien species, crossbred with humans, producing a hybrid bloodline.
Approximately 15% of the world's population has the Rh-negative distinction without the D antigen in their blood. But what makes it more interesting is that this percentage of the population is not spread evenly across the planet. While we are thought to have shared a common ancestor originating in sub-Saharan Africa, the number of Rh-negative Africans is disproportionately low compared to others, only about 3%. That proportion is even lower in Asia, where only about 1% of the population possesses this very rare blood type. The highest concentration of the gene that produces Rh-negative has been found in a small region on the Iberian Peninsula between France and Spain called the Basque region. Almost up to 40% of the population is Rh-negative.
And that's not the only distinguishing feature of the region, as they're also the only people of Western Europe who continue to speak an indigenous Indo-European language not spoken anywhere else in Europe. That language is not just isolated to that region; it's also completely unrelated to other European languages. People with Rh-negative blood are more prone to have a lower body temperature, higher-than-average IQ, higher blood pressure, red hair, and sensitivity to sunlight, according to studies. A lot of people who have had ET experiences or abduction stories seem to have a connecting value. They are often Rh-negative. Even though the Rh negative blood type could be just a mutation that became common, there's no rational explanation why a pregnant woman's body would destroy its own creation unless nature maybe endured some tampering.
Some scientists believe we're the result of some kind of intervention and that the evolutionary process cannot explain the complexity of so many changes in human body that happen so quickly at the same time. For several decades, evolutionary scientists have been investigating the sudden mysterious acceleration of human brain size that began close to 800,000 years ago. This date was estimated from changes in fossil human skulls that had been collected from around the planet. This shift began a period of unprecedented brain evolution that continued until 200,000 years ago. Before this point in time, our brain sizes had been increasing in step with body size. This acceleration in brain size is peculiar in evolutionary terms. Rapidly enlarging brains require considerable additional energy to be diverted from other functions, including muscles.
Rapidly weakening muscles is a problematic trade-off for brain expansion during a period when creatures fought tooth and claw to survive. Creating an upgraded human species with higher brain capacity would inevitably involve some extreme challenges. One of the most immediate is how to get a significantly larger head to fit through the existing narrow birth canal. If all subsequent generations of babies cause the death of mothers in childbirth, the experiment would soon end, according to some researchers who claim that humans are a genetically manipulated product. It appears the creators came up with an ingenious workaround for this problem. They altered the growth cycle of the fetus so the birth would occur before full development to infancy. On the other side, we see the majority of mammal fetuses develop to a high degree of maturity in the womb before birth.
They are able to reach a reasonable level of self-sufficiency just short time following delivery. Many mammals produce young able to walk within hours of birth, and within a few weeks they are able to supplement mother's milk with the food they forage for themselves. Mobility also allows young animals to potentially evade predators or flee from other dangers. But in our cases, things couldn't be more different; we have to pass through. Human infants are born while still in their developmental stage of infancy. We can observe this in the fact that the bones of the skull have not yet fused, and in the lack of spinal strength. They can't even safely support the weight of their own heads. Our offspring are incredibly dependent on their mothers for sustenance.
It takes a further six months for the infant's neck muscles to become sufficiently strong to begin. All the while, the human brain growth continues at an incredibly rapid pace. Being born while still in development to infancy stage allows our species to have a lengthy period of rapid brain expansion beyond the womb, sparing a mother from additional pain or extremely high chances of death during childbirth. It must be pointed out here that human mothers still must go through the most painful and dangerous stage of all mammals. On the contrary, while evolution favors low-risk, easy deliveries, humans have a 1 in 1,000 chance of bearing a child too large to pass through the birth canal. Almost all instances of human childbirth require some level of assistance, and with it, a painful process.
We see that most of the apes and monkeys give birth within two hours; however, most of the time, human mothers will suffer for an average of nine hours. Clearly, something went very wrong with the standard evolutionary winnowing out through natural selection, reversing many of the gains made by our primate ancestors. After a longer pregnancy than other primates, our offspring then have a substantially elongated infancy. Walking takes about 18 months to unfold, and typically begins at approximately two years of age. The first words come concurrently with the fusing of the bones of the skull. This marks the end of the development to infancy stage, throughout which children are astonishingly vulnerable. After that begins an incredibly long period of childhood with continued parental dependency. This slow maturation is hardly beneficial to increasing the active population.
Many of our fellow mammals have completed their entire life cycles, having produced dozens of offspring. Many mammals will be already heading into their senior years and physical decline. Even after all these years have passed, a human is not fully developed either physically or psychologically. The continuous mystery of the human brain and how it doesn't fit properly into the accepted timescale is perhaps why scientists from the University of Chicago have attempted to propose that the evolution of the human brain was a special event. That was the moment or relatively short span of time in which the evolution of the human brain was somehow dramatically increased. In 2004, Professor Bruce Lahn from the University of Chicago published results of a long-term study in the journal Cell, suggesting humans evolved their cognitive abilities not owing to a few sporadic and accidental genetic mutations as is the usual way with traits in living things, but rather from an enormous number of mutations in a short period of time.
Seemingly overnight in the fossil record, modern humans showed up with the advanced brain, body, and nervous system leading to the extraordinary capabilities that make us who we are today. Human DNA shows unmistakable signs of planning, such as the fusion and modification of key chromosomes, that cannot be explained by evolution. The origin of human chromosome 2, the second-largest chromosome in our bodies, has been scientifically determined to be the relic of an ancient fusion of primate DNA. Following this mutation, the new chromosome was modified and stabilized with a precision that some say it cannot be attributed to evolution.
200,000 years ago, the first modern humans appeared on Earth. But there's something special about the way our brains look today. Our brains are smaller and more retracted into the skull.
It's a bit different from the way our ancestors looked more than 100,000 years ago. In 2018, the team at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany published their research in the journal Science Advances saying there's something distinct about the way our brains and skulls look now, but they pointed out that the find is that our brain shape changes track almost perfectly with the development of modern behaviors like carving tools, planning, developing self-awareness, languages, and even the first cave drawings. In other words, that so-called great leap forward of around 40,000 years ago happened exactly around the time we were getting comfy in our newer skulls and also at the time when Neanderthal man mysteriously became extinct around 40,000 years ago. What's the possibility that some kind of special event occurred between 40,000 and 50,000 years ago and made us as we are today? Could that explain how human culture went from primitive caves to ancient civilizations? Ancient cave paintings, the only recorded history of our ancestors, usually show the events from their lives like animals, hunting, war, but also some unknown non-human alien life beings. All around the world, archaeologists discovered prehistoric artwork
depicting alien encounters in the distant past. If we consider those studies about the evolution of the human brain as a special event and what our ancestors were indicating from their history, don't you think that the possibility of alien interference makes more sense than a random mutation which created man from ape overnight? Darwin's theory of the evolution of man states that we evolved from apes and our intellectual abilities were driven into existence by natural selection. That's the most accepted theory of the evolution of man by the scientific community, but some parts of this theory are a bit confusing. If our ancestors started using their hands to make tools when they began walking on two feet, there should be slight changes in our ancestors as the evolution happened slowly over a long period of time.
He believed that when our ancestors began walking on two feet around six million years ago, they started using their hands to make tools. But if evolution happened slowly and over a long period of time, there should be slight changes in our ancestors. The evidence shows something different. About six million years ago, one of our ancestors stood up right and began to walk on two feet. Then, no change for four million years until, according to fossil records, the earliest stone tool making had been developed at least 2.6 million years ago. Then once again, no advances for more than two million years until only a short time ago, around 200,000 years ago, Homo sapiens suddenly appeared. That cannot be called a small change. Let's take a look at evolution from evolutionary charts.
Are they misleading? It could be, as they show the evolution of man without showing what has actually been discovered. If we compare the actual fossils, it's clear there's no transitional species from ape, like a creature which existed for millions of years, to today's human. Do you think we should be more likely to find more recent fossils than the ancient ones, like the world's most famous early human ancestor, the 3.2 million year old ape, Lucy? Where are the most recent transitional forms? Where is the missing link? Could it be possible that the missing link is missing as it doesn't exist? Let's take crocodiles as an example, as they haven't changed at all in at least 65 million years. Considering that, there's a chance that the missing link doesn't exist because of genetic modification done by a more advanced life form who's responsible for the great leap forward in our intelligence. Could this theory also explain why there are so many different races or versions of humans in only a few hundred thousand years? All truths are easy to understand, once they are discovered, the point is to discover them. Galileo Galilei.
According to the biblical creation story in the Hebrew Bible, the book of Genesis says Eve, the first woman, was created from Adam's rib bone and given the breath of life.
In recent years, there's been an extraordinary leap in knowledge of the human genome as the advances in genetic technology and human genome research rapidly progressed. These genetic studies can give us profound insight into our ancestry. By now, thousands of genomes from a cross-section of ethnic backgrounds have been identified. Homo sapiens are the only existing human species today. After testing thousands of living people, we can show that the oldest mitochondrial DNA sequence comes from a common ancestor of us all, Mitochondria Eve. In human genetics, the mitochondrial Eve is defined as the most recent one in the human genome, which means that it is the first woman from whom all living humans descended in an unbroken line purely through their mothers and through the mothers of those mothers, back until all lines converge on one woman.
The piece of the mitochondrial Eve's DNA that's been traced comes from something called mitochondria. Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell as they help turn the energy we take from food into energy that the cell is used for. cell can use. There's a DNA inside the mitochondria, and it's this DNA that's been traced back to a single common female ancestor of African origin who lived around 200,000 years ago. We know this because the studies measure variations in living humans. Plus, the average rate of mutation over time in mitochondrial DNA permits us to calculate when the ancestor of all living mitochondrial DNA chromosomes was alive. Humans have been around for a long time. In the hundreds of thousands of years we've been walking the planet, our numbers have grown.
How is it even possible that only about 200,000 years ago, a single woman became the great grandmother of us all? Shouldn't human history go back further than that? ...
Given that mitochondrial Eve is thought to have lived during a time when there were other women alive, there are a couple of explanations for how only Eve's mitochondrial DNA alone could have survived. Most likely, a combination of converging factors is responsible. The likeliest possibility is that an evolutionary bottleneck occurred among humankind while mitochondrial Eve was alive. This is a situation where a large majority of the members of species suddenly die out, bringing the species to the verge of extinction. It could be the result of a catastrophe of some sort, for example, a comet hitting the earth.
One hypothesis about recent human evolution advocated by Professor Stanley Ambrose of the University of Illinois Suggests that we came very close to extinction because of a volcanic winter that occurred around 71,000 years ago. He believes that the event that caused the near loss of our species was the eruption of Mount Toba in Sumatra, reducing population to only about 15,000 people on the entire planet. The volcanic winter lasted about six years and was followed by thousands of years of the coldest ice age the planet has ever seen. Afterward, just a few members of the population remained to repopulate the group and continued to evolve. Bottlenecks are suspected to have taken place at different times in humanity's history, so it's Not a far-fetched notion that an event like this could have taken place during Eve's lifetime, creating a genetic risk.
These genetic studies found that the lineage of all people alive today falls on one of two branches in humanity's family tree, that came from Mitochondrial Eve. One branch is entirely African, the other contains all other groups, including some African lineage. Although this new method of determining genetics answered many questions, and even more impressively, geneticists that every person on earth right now can trace his or her lineage back to a single common female ancestor. These methods have Actually, opened up Pandora's box, leaving us with some mysteries that still remain unexplained. Why did humans evolve from two entirely different pathways? And how come after millions of years, all of a sudden, so many races evolved within such a short period of time?
Millions of miles away from the Earth, in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, hundreds of thousands of asteroids orbit the Sun in what is known as the asteroid belt. In the 18th century, Johann Titius, a German astronomer, noted a mathematical pattern in the layout of the planets and used it to predict the existence of one between Mars and Jupiter. Everyone was Wildly excited by the strange gap between Mars and Jupiter, soon after 25 astronomers organized a group known as the Celestial Police, searching for the missing planet. But instead of a planet, they found what appeared only to be pieces of one. This area is known as our solar system's asteroid belt, that belt being a region of the solar system falling roughly between the planets Mars and Jupiter.
Where the greatest concentration of asteroid orbits can be found. There are a number of theories as to how the asteroid belt was created. Astronomers think that this belt is made up of material that was never able to form into a planet, or the remains of a planet which broke apart a very long time ago. Occasionally, people wonder whether the belt was made up of the remains of a destroyed planet or a world that didn't quite get started. However, according to NASA, the total mass of the belt is less than the moon, far too small to weigh in as a planet. Ancient Greeks were known to observe planets quite diligently because they believed that gods traveled the skies and navigated between stars and space.
All the names ancient Greeks gave to planets in our solar system are still identifiable today. And there is never a doubt about that. There is a story in Greek mythology about a planet that exploded. The planet was called Phaethon. Is it possible that our ancestors embedded this event in their belief system because they actually witnessed a planet explosion and they just couldn't explain it any other way? There is the other legend saying that once, in our solar system, was a planet called Moldek, and it was destroyed by its own violence. The legend also states that some of its inhabitants managed to escape and colonize Earth, and roughly three-quarters of our population are these descendants. Can we determine today what is a myth and what is an actual fact in those legends?
Some people may think that the ancient Greek story of the planet Phaethon perishing in a flash could be a result of collective hallucination or stupidity. However, we should consider some material evidence that still exists there before making any conclusion whether a planet has indeed exploded in our solar system or not. If the planetary explosion occurred somewhere in our solar system in the distant past, we should be able to find the evidence of it today. This is due to the fact that the debris from the exploded planet would not vanish as after a planet explodes. The center of mass of all debris should still circle the Sun along a trajectory similar to the trajectory of the planet before the explosion.
The center of mass of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is near Ceres, which is the largest asteroid in that asteroid belt. Is that a coincidence? Since explosion is a process that creates energy in all directions, the mass distribution of the debris in the resulting belt is the same as the mass of the asteroid belt. Here's an example: A moon in the axis of the planet Phaethon should be similar in both axial and radial directions. This is due to the elementary conservation of momentum principle. Interestingly, the size of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is similar in axial and radial directions. Coincidence? In 2015 a study from researchers at the University of Florida published in the journal Nature Astronomy, has exactly the same mass distribution that was perceived in the starschenes.
confirmed that the inter-asteroid belt was indeed created by destroyed planets, likely several small planetoids. It's important to say that this is contrary to what's been stated by mainstream science and academics for past decades, as they were strictly denying this possibility and often called those who suggested it pseudo-scientists. In fact, the consensus among mainstream scientists has been that the asteroid belt was created from leftovers from the formation of our solar system, which gravitational forces of Jupiter prevented from forming of an additional planet. So, as that has been constantly repeated by mainstream media, we can see another example of mainstream science debunking themselves once again. Of course, that has been the case throughout our history; essentially what we think we know today turns out to be something completely different tomorrow.
But that still leaves us with the question: why the otherwise perfectly mathematical pattern of our solar system have a vacancy? Researchers have spent decades looking for evidence of ancient water on Mars. As technology has progressed, more evidence has come to light that the red planet used to have rivers, lakes, and even oceans billions of years ago. However, changes in the atmosphere have made it much colder. In fact, some of the water is still locked in polar ice caps and possibly underground. In 2015, NASA scientists announced an exciting discovery that could help them get closer to answering questions. What is it? NASA has released high-tech satellite pictures which, they say, show evidence of flowing water on the red planet. Researchers have seen small streaks that change in different weather.
What does it all mean? They believe that five meters wide dark streaks on the surface have been caused by trickling water that freezes and unfreezes during different seasons on the planet. It also means the planet could be suitable for certain types of life. It's big news because, if it's confirmed, it could prove there's potential for life there. Some researchers speculate about the possibility that ancient alien civilization once existed on Mars and was cut short by the destructive power of nuclear warfare. What is it? So, what's that theory based on? It's based on something called Xenon-129. The gas isotope Xenon-129 is radioactive and also does not occur naturally. It's the result of a nuclear explosion. Dr. John Brandenburg, a plasma physicist, an expert in propulsion technologies, and a former consultant on space missile defense and directed energy weapons, suggested that a theory in which he states a nuclear explosion may have occurred at some point about 180 million years ago on Mars.
Dr. Brandenburg also believes that this nuclear explosion is what wiped out all life on the red planet. According to his published research, Mars has a high concentration of Xenon-129 in the atmosphere. This peculiar isotope is produced during a nuclear reaction. What is it? The theory is that a nuclear explosion is the result of a nuclear explosion that occurred on Mars. According to the astronomer Robert Brandenburg, two large nuclear explosions at two sites on the planet occurred at some point in Mars' past. The theory of nuclear explosions on Mars comes from high concentrations of radioactive Xenon-129 on the planet. NASA has known for some time; however, the theory is different. It's said that Mars was first discovered in 1991. very high concentration of the gas isotope Xenon-129 in its atmosphere.
Dr. Glenn Seaborg was one of the most remarkable and influential nuclear chemists of the 20th century and head of the US Atomic Energy Commission and the winner of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. This great scientist is clear with one point, that these nuclear reactions could not have happened naturally. So if the reactions weren't natural, the implication is that some intelligent beings caused them.
Was our race genetically engineered? Were we created by beings from distant space to work as laborers towards the unknown? What if the secret lies in the ruins of a once powerful society awaiting our discovery? Could this secret uncovered in Earth's little corner of the universe be considered Genesis Revisited? Zechariah Sitchin was an author of books proposing an explanation for human origins involving ancient astronauts. Known for his ability to read and interpret ancient Sumerian and Akkadian clay tablets, Sitchin devoted a lifetime to the study of ancient civilizations, ancient languages, their beginnings, and their knowledge. According to Sitchin, an ancient, advanced race of human-like extraterrestrials called the Anunnaki is the missing link in Homo sapiens evolution. Sitchin attributed the creation of the ancient Sumerian culture to the Anunnaki, which he stated was a race of extraterrestrials from a planet beyond Neptune called Nibiru.
The Anunnaki arrived on Earth 450,000 years ago looking for minerals. The Anunnaki arrived on Earth 450,000 years ago looking for minerals. namely gold which they began mining in Africa. This is derived from multiple discoveries of ancient mining tunnels in South Africa as well as relics and links to the Sumerians. When Anunnaki miners became displeased with working conditions, it was decided that Anunnaki genes and Homo erectus genes would be engineered to create slaves to replace the miners. So the Anunnaki created the first humans as a slave race to mine gold, thus beginning our global traditions of gold obsession, slavery, and God as dominating master. The Anunnaki created us using pieces of their own DNA, controlling our physical and mental capabilities by inactivating their more advanced DNA.
Could that explain why only less than 3% of our DNA is made up of gold? Ancient Sumeria, the land of civilized kings, and according to mainstream scholars, the cradle of civilization. Sumer flourished in Mesopotamia, now modern-day Iraq, around 4500 BC. Sumerians created an advanced civilization between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers with their own system of elaborate language and writing, including astronomy, and mathematics, architecture, and arts. The Sumerian language is so far the oldest linguistic record. All that remains now is a message buried beneath the sand, the message that could tell us more about our past and origin.
The Garden of Eden, also called Paradise, is the most ancient and most famous temple in the world. It is the biblical Garden of God described in the Book of Genesis. The location of Eden is described in the Book of Genesis as the source of four tributaries. The Book of Genesis clearly lists the four rivers in association with the Garden. Pishon, Gihon, Chedekol, and Peret.
The Chedekol is widely accepted as being the Tigris river, and the Peret is identified as the Euphrates river. Suggesting the location was in southern Mesopotamia, now known as Iraq. So what is the connection between Sumer, the cradle of civilization, the Garden of Eden, and our origin? Archaeologists and scholars have been researching for centuries in this area of the world, hoping to provide the biblical stories of the Garden of Eden.
The Ziggurat of Ur, a massive 4,000-year-old temple, and one of Iraq's most famous archaeological sites, is rising from the desert near Nasiriyah. It was a place of an ancient Sumerian city. In 1849, during excavations at the ancient cities of Sippar and Nippur, northwest of Ur, thousands of Sumerian cuneiforms were found. An English archaeologist, Sir Austin Henry Layard, discovered about 20,000 Sumerian tablets with cuneiform inscriptions. The Sumerian language was also found on the ancient Akkadian tablets, and amongst all the tablets discovered, about a dozen were talking about the Garden of Eden. Anton Parks, a Sumero-Akkadian researcher and author of eight books regarding Sumerian translation, originated the theory that the Sumerian language is a coding system. He believes for hundreds of years we've been translating Sumerian tablets wrong.
An American scientist from the University of California, who worked on the SETI project for many years and collaborated with NASA, was very interested in the Sumerian translations. He provided Anton Parks with ten tablets found at Sippar to check symbols one by one. Anton noticed the difference between existing translations, one translation saying one thing, the other saying something completely opposite. He was persistent. He was constantly researching on Hebrew, but nothing was coming out of it until, by chance, he came across a Sumerian-Akkadian lexicon and finally, slowly, started to translate the tablets.
The results of Anton Parks' translation were a completely different version of the Garden of Eden than we've heard before. In biblical text, paradise is described as a heavenly, beautiful place on earth.
This word comes from the Greek paradisos, translated the Persian paradeza, and this literally means enclosure for wild animals, not paradise, a term that was later transcribed as garden during the Hellenistic era. The original translation in the Sumerian tablets says: 'The men who serve the gods work for them in the garden and are treated like animals.' This is a very clear and clear translation. In repeated theme, they are slaves who serve the divine community. The Hebrew text says that the humans seemed happy in this so-called paradise, but the Sumerian cuneiforms describe a different kind of paradise that was, in fact, more like a concentration camp. According to Anton Parks, these ten tablets tell the Sumerian version of how the Garden of Eden was created.
Based on his translations, when the Sumerian gods arrived on Earth, they settled on the mountain in Mesopotamia in order to create a colony and be better able to survive. Apparently, they suffered some sort of damage and ended up on this mountain because of a war. Many experts, including Parks, believe they came from the Pleiades star cluster. These gods are going to create new conditions for life to bloom, for their colonies, to thrive, according to Parks' translation. But who are these gods who hope to make Earth their home? Some of Sumerian epics, including the epic of Atrahasis, are talking about that the earth was actually administered by a conference of gods called the Anunnaki. It wasn't just one god. What's interesting for our story is the relationship between two Sumerian gods, Enki and Enlil.
Enlil is described as domineering, angry, dangerous, an entity that doesn't really care about humanity. But then we have Enki, the god of wisdom, and he does care about humanity. These gods were humanoid beings of a rather reptilian type. The translated text of Eden depicts clearly, and quite frequently, the reptilian features of the gods. According to his translations, Parks estimated the gods arrived approximately 300,000 years ago, and that's interesting from another fact that Homo sapiens arrived shortly after. If the Sumerian gods realized they were not alone, what might have been their interaction with those kinds of humans? What is also noted in the Sumerian tablets, when they clearly speak of creating workers to serve the Anunnaki, the main geneticist is always Enki, who can change the human genome according to what Enlil asks of him, which would be the creation of well-disciplined humans.
The translated text says: they take their genes from their opponents, who they consider inferior, who they name as Kenju. They use their blood, and they will continue to create the new human who's going to serve them with these genes. Could these gods be more than just legend? Has the human race been genetically modified? Or have they been genetically created by extraterrestrial beings in the remote past? Researchers like Greg Braden stumbled across some research that's connected the Sumerian translations to actual genetic changes in human chromosomes, particularly with the mystery of human chromosome number two, the second largest chromosome in the human body. It forms about 8% of the DNA in every cell. What makes it such a mystery? What makes it such a mystery?
The human chromosome number two appears to be the result of an ancient fusion of preexisting chromosomes from primates that have been fused in a very precise way.
And the fusion site has been modified and stabilized so that human chromosome number two is as optimized for us today. That process has happened in a way that cannot be explained by evolution as we know it. The question is, why is that important? It is important from the fact that human chromosome number two contains the genes that largely set us apart from all other forms of life. We gain the ability for things like logic, compassion, empathy, sympathy, basically the things that make us particularly human. These abilities are possible because of what has happened with human chromosome number two. Could the fusion of the chromosome number two be the work of a master genetic engineer otherwise known as Enki from the Sumerian text? If so, his experiment changed the human genes to enlighten mankind. Is it possible that civilization made sudden, huge advances in development as a result of the Anunnaki's presence on Earth? 2. Is it possible that the Garden of Eden was the beginning for not only the gods' reign on Earth but also humans? Might the Sumerian ancient texts describing the Anunnaki be the proof of this controversial theory?
Untouched by tomb raiders through the millennia, the stunning intact tomb was discovered by Leonard Woolley during his excavations at the Royal Cemetery of Ur between 1922 and 1934. It was a magnificent underground burial complex of the mysterious Queen Puabi and her 52 attendants who followed her to afterlife. Queen Puabi died while in her 40s around 45,000 years ago during the first dynasty of Ur and it was determined she was a nin, a Sumerian term which means goddess. Zechariah Sitchin was convinced that Queen Puabi is genetically related to the Anunnaki and if that was true then her skeleton would be evidence of the genetic engineering of humanity by Anunnaki scientists. His dying wish was that the skeleton of Queen Puabi
would be tested by geneticists to determine if her mitochondrial DNA could be recovered and compared to normal human mitochondrial DNA.
He suggested the Anunnaki tinkered with our DNA to test it. to enhance our intelligence, but held back the full genetic potential of the alien's DNA. According to Sitchin, the ancient myths suggest that whoever created us deliberately held back from us a certain thing, genes, DNA or whatever, not to give us health, longevity, and the immortality that they had. So what was it? Sitchin wanted scientists to test the DNA from Queen Puabi's remains, just in case it holds the answer. Maybe by comparing her genome with ours, we would find out what those missing genes that they deliberately did not give us are. He was risking his life's work on this outcome and also offered to fund the analysis from his family trust foundation.
The Natural History Museum in London says that any request to conduct DNA tests on Puabi's remains would have to come from a researcher with recognized experience and skills in this field, or with access to the necessary facilities required to undertake ancient DNA analysis. To date, the museum has not received a request from a researcher with recognized experience and skills in this field, or with access to the necessary facilities required to undertake DNA analysis. Even if his claim is being considered ridiculous, one has to wonder why the Natural History Museum in London didn't give way to such an investigation, either to show that the mainstream scholars are right concerning the Anunnaki, or to have a spectacular result in scientific research. Will we ever find the answer to these questions? Only time will tell. Many documented findings that have been excluded from mainstream and academic archaeology could potentially hide the secrets of our origin. A series of
But what if the question of human origin falls outside the realm of social acceptability? We need to start asking new questions, to challenge the viewpoints of mainstream scientists, to discuss the findings that could disrupt the widely accepted story of human origins and collect more evidence to prove or disprove either side. And although, yes, we may wonder whether or not our DNA has been somehow modified in our distant past, and we absolutely need scientific proof to declare something as a fact, there's one more thing to consider. The manipulation of the human genome is already happening. We're already doing it. From the discovery of synthetic DNA in 1967, the list of new technologies grows every day. Industrial robots, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and all of them are advancing at a rapid pace.
As technology pushes mankind into the future, our scientific knowledge more than doubles yearly, and time even seems to be speeding up. After identifying and mapping all of the genes in the human genome, we had moved from an almost complete lack of knowledge about our genes to being able to 'read' the full text, the book of life. Less than 20 years after genome sequencing became possible, and after completing the Human Genome Project, the scientific progress in genetics is breathtaking – and sometimes scary. Today's genetic scientists are also capable of performing genome editing. In 2018, a Chinese biophysicist stunned and shocked the world by exploiting available tools to bring about the birth of a new human genome. We are now in the midst of the birth of genome-editing babies.
So having in mind that the published discoveries are years behind technology, especially in the military industry, who knows what's really happening now behind closed doors with the manipulation of DNA? At the end, we're finally at the point in history where we don't have to keep making the same mistakes of the past that we've seen through our history. We all know how the masses and mainstream treated the lights of Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, or Nikola Tesla. But also, there's always a group of people who think alike them, creating new mindsets that were only proven to be correct many, many years later. Are you one of them?
