Humans are not from Earth: a scientific evaluation of the evidence (2nd Edition)

Product Information

In another 5-10 years this book will be irrelevant because by then the aliens will be here and everything will make sense to those who have been asleep. If we were at sea or in the middle of a desert, and we had none of those things to guide us, and there were no landmarks in sight, and we couldn’t see the sky, and we lost our bearings, we’d be hopelessly lost. Obvious stuff like the human head being too large for the female birth canal, causing a high percentage of maternal death pre-modern medicine, a huge evolutionary disadvantage.

Another example is Koko, a western lowland gorilla who understands about 2,000 spoken words and can use sign language to communicate more than 1,000. While other scientists have said some bacteria arrived on Earth from space, Chris McKay, an astrobiologist at NASA, said that to jump to the conclusion that it is alien life is ‘a big jump’. Ellis Silver offers an extensive scientific evaluation of the evidence for and against man’s evolution on Planet Earth. According to experts, life spreads like an “interstellar infection” and clusters of planets in the galaxy have alien life forms.In fact, it may have always been an integral, and essential, part of our existence since our species of hominins became more and more distinct some 200,000 years ago. So when Ellis Silver asks where the heck did they come from, I have to say that if he'd had even a minimally competent bit of instruction in basic genetics and molecular biology, he'd already know. Dr Ellis says that while his idea is an extreme evolution of that idea, it is intended to be thought-provoking and he claims to have had a largely positive response to it. Hoax or not, I think Humans are not from Earth would actually make a great learning resource: you could play name that logical fallacy, learn how not to formulate an argument, and, if you want to teach someone about evolution, going through everything this book gets wrong would actually be a pretty good place to start.

Although whether the aliens spliced in sections of their own DNA or took it from another alien species is unknown.

They range from humans suffering from bad backs - which he suggests is because we evolved in a world with lower gravity – to getting too easily sunburned and having difficulty giving birth.

England is battling its biggest outbreak of '100 day' whooping cough in at least 10 YEARS - so how can you tell it apart from a cold? Scientists working on the Human Genome Project and other DNA project have discovered an extra 223 genes in humans that do not appear in any other species on Earth. If you're interested in discovering the truth about humankind's origins, this mind-blowing and compelling book is a must-read.In fact is was faked using a Medieval human skull, the jaw bone of an orangutan and fossilized teeth from a chimpanzee, and then “aged” by soaking it in acid and staining it with an iron solution. Even allowing for improvements in computational efficiency and power generation, this points to a world in some 20 years where all of the energy we currently generate in electricity will be consumed by digital electronics alone. We eagerly read them, restructuring our brains to remember them, and we go to great lengths to copy and reproduce these works, again and again across the centuries and in many languages and forms. I believe the main purpose of this book at least in me is that helps you have an open mind, investigate more, don't take everything from granted. Today we can look at our species’ energy use and see that of the roughly six to seven terawatts of average global electricity production, about 3 percent to 4 percent is gobbled up by our digital electronics, in computing, storing and moving information.
