RE: Out of Africa No Longer Viable
And yet I feel there are secret societies that exist today that hide this ancient knowledge from us.. of our true origins. I like to think sometimes, that we indeed evolved from something apelike. It would indeed seem like the natural course of how life progresses, evolution.
But then I also, get these strong vibes, we were "created". In the sense that a higher intellectual, more advanced society came along and needed Earth's resources, so they took the already existing, non-sentient apes, and genetically modified them into humans, with a piece of their DNA, and used us as the slave labor work force needed to do what they needed. Maybe that's crazy, but It is simply my personal theory that sometimes, seems all too real.
If you think about it though, my theory can still function in tandem with evolution theory, because perhaps, millions of years ago, the first created human was indeed different than us. And since then the human species has been evolving into what we are today.
I actually strongly suspect that hybridization far better explains the fossil record. Species show up suddenly without transitional forms, stay relatively unchanged for as long as they endure, and then vanish.
Check out Macroevolution.net (if I remember the name of the site right). The evidence is strong with this one.
I dunno about the 'directed evolution' theory. There's but indirect evidence for it. While most of the evidence we could find would be highly likely to be underwater, since sea level is about as high as it's ever been, you'd think such technology as would be necessary under such a theory would have left some marks.
I see that natural hybridization does occur, and could explain our origin without supposing aliens, or gods, or any unnatural intervention. Clearly, strong physical evidence is necessary for such claims to be superable as fact.
Woah. TO anyone who read my comment above, should definitely check out the site you responded with. Extremely interesting. And highly compelling.
Well, the guy wrote the Handbook of Avian Hybrids. He's not some random. He's been a professional scientist his whole life.
He has evidence out the wazoo.
