This is not a modern condition – the same factors can be traced all the way back through mankind’s history on Earth. This would have been a serious problem in the past: thousands and thousands of people must have died. Way past the Mesozoic and into the carboniferous and the Cambrian (this last one is a stretch, I admit). This cipher of a human being is saying something, as I was about to mention: he's claiming that he has scientific evidence that humans are actually from another planet, and he's written a book about it, titled Humans are not from Earth: a scientific evaluation of the evidence .

This resulted in the instant leap from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens (modern humans), with no missing link in between them. He also says that it is strange that babies’ heads are so large and make it difficult for women to give birth, which can result in fatalities of the mother and infant. Humans are not from Earth is an immensely intriguing and stimulating subject, yet it provokes heavy criticism. For me the most interesting chapter is the 2nd, I believe is the largest chapter in the book, and makes you think about the human kind and their history. Silver has some suggestions as to where is our true home planet is and what type of environment we actually evolved.Though if he believes what he is writing, I would be a little concerned for whatever institution of higher book learning might have awarded him his degree. It is easy to tell, by the superimposition of lop-sided space-alien eye-ovals on a photo of the North American continent, that this is a really high class operation.

The way the author discredits anyones opinion and straight away dismisses every other possibility only to go back to his original opinion is very annoying. It explores all the facts and scientific reasons for this and then proposed alternative theories for why this is which are well thought out.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. Every person on the planet saw one version or another of this "Octopolis" story and had to send it to me. Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www. He now spends most of his time in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, with occasional forays to Indonesia. It includes evidence from indigenous Australians which proves that extraterrestrials visited the Earth up to one million years ago, seeding what would become modern humans.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.This book is pretty good, makes you question things you already know from school or what other people tell you about history, about humans, about Earth.

In these stories, humans might have been created by mixing the DNA of an ape and the alien species; were born in another planet but found their way to Earth; or had their creation be the direct action of another, even older race of humans or humanoid-looking. ORFANs are chunks of DNA that are picked up by gene recognition software because they have the standard starting sequence of a gene, and then go on for a significant length (300 base pairs or more) before they are terminated by a stop codon, but that have an internal sequence that doesn't match anything else in the databases. This could be the Jay Gould's "punctuated equilibrium" that explains the jump from homo erectus to homo sapiens.Science was presenting its view to date that it has reached its natural form after passing through human evolution, which Darwin said in his theory. Relax your arm, and the force of gravity pulls it downward, converting that potential energy into kinetic energy and speeding up the ball's downward motion until you stop it with your hand. A scientific evaluation of the evidence for and (mostly) against man’s evolution on Planet Earth, by a leading environmentalist and ecologist. But them creating us or splicing our genes or having them work with our governments then where is the proof? They might also have evolved their own form of synchronization, perhaps using pheromones, so that all the plants of the same species grow and ripen at the same time.
