The first mention of man. Archaeologists' hypothesis: where did the first man appear?
The origin of man is a mystery. Even Darwin's theory is not considered fully proven, due to the lack of transitional links in evolution. How else do people explain their appearance from ancient times to the present day?
Totemism
Totemism is considered one of the most ancient mythological ideas and is considered the first form of awareness of the human collective, as well as its place in nature. Totemism taught that each group of people had its own ancestor - a totem animal or plant. For example, if a raven serves as a totem, then it is the actual progenitor of the clan, and each raven is a relative. In this case, the totem animal is only a patron, but is not deified, unlike later creationism.
Androgynes
The mythological version includes the ancient Greek version about the origin of man from the Androgynes - the first people who combined the characteristics of both sexes. Plato in his dialogue "Symposium" describes them as beings with a spherical body, whose back was not different from the chest, with four arms and legs and two identical faces on the head. According to legend, our ancestors were not inferior to the titans in strength and skill. Having become proud, they decided to overthrow the Olympians, for which they were cut in half by Zeus. This reduced their strength and self-confidence by half.
Androgyny is not only present in Greek mythology. The idea that man and woman were originally one is close to many world religions. Thus, one of the Talmudic interpretations of the first chapters of the Book of Genesis says that Adam was created androgynous.
Abrahamic tradition
The Abrahamic religions include three monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), which go back to Abraham, the patriarch of the Semitic tribes, the first person to believe in the Lord. According to the Abrahamic tradition, the world was created by God - the One from Nothingness, literally “out of nothing.” God created man, Adam, from the dust of the earth “in our image and likeness,” so that man would be truly good. It is worth noting that both the Bible and the Koran mention the creation of man more than once. For example, in the Bible about the creation of Adam, it first says in chapter 1 that God created man “out of nothing in his own image and likeness,” and in chapter 2 that he created him from dust (dust).
Hinduism
In Hinduism, there are at least five versions of the creation of the world and man, respectively. In Brahmanism, for example, the creator of the world is the god Brahma (in later versions identified with Vishnu and the Vedic deity Prajapati), who emerged from a golden egg floating in the world's oceans. He grew up and sacrificed himself, creating from his hair, skin, meat, bones and fat the five elements of the world - earth, water, air, fire, ether - and the five steps of the sacrificial altar. Gods, people and other living beings were created from it. Thus, in Brahmanism, by making sacrifices, people recreate Brahma.
But according to the Vedas - the ancient sacred scripture of Hinduism, the creation of the world and man is shrouded in darkness: “Who truly knows, who will proclaim here. Where did this creation come from, where did it come from? Further, the gods (appeared) through the creation of this (world).
So who knows where it came from?”
Kabbalah
According to Kabbalistic teaching, the creator Ein Sof created a soul that received the name Adam Rishon - “the first man.” It was a construct consisting of many individual desires interconnected like the cells of our body. All desires were in harmony, since initially each of them had a desire to support each other. However, being on the highest spiritual level, similar to the creator, Adam took on enormous spiritual light, which is equivalent to the “forbidden fruit” in Christianity. Unable to achieve the goal of creation with this one action, the primary soul split into 600,000 thousand parts, and each of them into many more parts. All of them are now in the souls of people. Through many circuits they must carry out a “correction” and reassemble into a common spiritual complex called Adam. In other words, after the “breaking” or the Fall, all these particles - people are not equal to each other. But returning to their original state, they again reach the same level, where they are all equal.
Evolutionary creationism
As science developed, creationists had to compromise with natural science concepts. The intermediate stage between the theory of creation and Darwinism was “theistic evolutionism.” Evolutionary theologians do not reject evolution, but consider it to be a tool in the hands of God the creator. Simply put, God created the “material” for the emergence of man - the genus Homo and launched the process of evolution. The end result was a man. An important point of evolutionary creationism is that although the body changed, the human spirit remained unchanged. This is precisely the position that the Vatican has officially held since the time of Pope John Paul II (1995): God created an ape-like creature by putting an immortal soul into it. In classical creationism, man has not changed in body or soul since creation.
"Theory of Ancient Cosmonauts"
In the 20th century, there was a popular version about the extraterrestrial origin of man. One of the founders of the idea of paleocontact in the 20s was Tsiolkovsky, who announced the possibility of aliens visiting the earth. According to the theory of paleocontact, once in the distant past, around the Stone Age, aliens visited the Earth for some business. Either they were interested in the colonization of exoplanets, or the resources of the Earth, or this was their transfer base, but one way or another, part of their descendants settled on Earth. They may have even mixed with the local genus Homo, and modern humans are a cross between an alien life form and the aborigines of Earth.
The main arguments that supporters of this theory rely on are the complexity of the technologies used in the construction of ancient monuments, as well as geoglyphs, petroglyphs and other drawings of the ancient world, which allegedly depict alien ships and people in spacesuits. Mates Agres, one of the founders of the paleovisit theory, even argued that the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed not by God’s wrath, but by a nuclear explosion.
Darwinism
The famous postulate that man evolved from apes is usually attributed to Charles Darwin, although the scientist himself, remembering the fate of his predecessor Georges Louis Buffon, who was ridiculed at the end of the 18th century for such ideas, cautiously stated that humans and apes must have some kind of common ancestor, ape-like creature.
According to Darwin himself, the genus homo originated somewhere around 3.5 million in Africa. This was not yet our fellow tribesman Homo Sapiens, whose age today is dated back to approximately 200 thousand years, but the first representative of the genus Homo - an ape, a hominid. In the course of evolution, he began to walk on two legs, use his hands as tools, he began to have progressive brain transformations, articulate speech and sociality. Well, the cause of evolution, like all other species, was natural selection, and not God’s plan.
“Man is the crown of creation of the highest heavenly powers,” every believer will say.
No, the convinced materialist will object to him. - Man evolved from monkeys in the process of long evolution millions of years ago.
“You are both right and wrong,” an intellectual who keeps track of information about all the latest scientific discoveries and hypotheses will tell them. - The fact is that evolution really took place, but it is also very likely that it was initiated and directed by certain heavenly forces...
The material published below also supports this point of view.
About the sons of God
For thousands of years, people believed that their distant ancestors were created by gods - or God, the Most High, the Creator. This process is described in sufficient detail, in particular, in the Bible (Old Testament, Book of Genesis, chapter two).
But in 1871, the book of the English naturalist Charles Darwin, “The Descent of Man and Sexual Selection,” was published, where the author substantiates the hypothesis of the origin of man from an ape-like ancestor.
Soon this hypothesis was recognized as reliable by both many scientists and people “from the common people.” However, not everyone recognized it as such, and not only among clergy and believers of various faiths. And this controversy continues in society to this day.
And starting from the second half of the 20th century, various versions of the “crazy” hypothesis have become popular, according to which the appearance of people on Earth is the result of the activities of... aliens.
The development of such an idea was facilitated by two events: the appearance on June 24, 1947 over the Cascade Mountains, in the northern part of the Pacific coast, of a flight of clearly manned flying saucers, and also what allegedly happened exactly a week later, on the night of July 2, an emergency landing (or disaster) of an alien spacecraft ship in the vicinity of the town of Roswell in the US state of New Mexico.
By the way, it was after these two events that the term “unidentified flying object” - UFO (in English Unidentified Flying Object - UFO) and the name of the science that studies such objects - “ufology” appeared.
It is characteristic that some adherents of the idea of the “creation” of humanity by space aliens refer to ancient myths and traditions of various peoples, in which the gods who created people, as a rule, arrive on Earth from heaven. The Bible tells the same story. In it, along with the statement about the creation of Adam and Eve - the two first people in our world - by the Lord God himself, it also speaks about the participation of certain sons of God in the production of the earth's population: “When people began to multiply on earth, and daughters were born to them, then sons God saw the daughters of men that they were beautiful, and took them as wives as they chose.” “At that time there were giants on the earth, especially from the time when the sons of God began to come in to the daughters of men, and they began to bear children to them...” (Bible, Old Testament, Book of Genesis, chapter six, 1-2, 4 ).
Rescue of Star Brother
After the Roswell incident received wide publicity, publications began to appear in the media (mainly in the American ones) about meetings and conversations between people and aliens, during which space aliens reported how their ancestors participated in the creation and formation of our population.
According to a publication in the September 1996 issue of the American magazine Rage, one of these meetings took place just over a month after the Roswell incident, and again in New Mexico.
On the evening of August 13, 1947, six young descendants of the Apache Indians stopped for the night in the desert area of the mentioned state. They were preparing dinner when a strong rumble was heard, then a roar, and the earth shook, as if during an earthquake. Having gone on reconnaissance, the Indians discovered not far away a twisted metal object crashed into the ground, inside of which there was a strange small creature. It was badly mangled, but showed signs of life. The Indians decided to try to save their foundling.
They managed to get out of Star Brother, as they began to call him among themselves. Having recovered, Brother (his real name was Bek Ti), using a crystal that transmits information in the form of images, told the young people the absolutely incredible history of the Earth and humanity.
It turns out that aliens appeared on our planet back in the days when it was a lifeless block of stone, and throughout the entire period of evolution they constantly interfered with its course. In some cases their intervention was beneficial, in others it was not. When people appeared on Earth, the aliens directed the development of humanity, but at the same time often led it to a dead end. They became our gods... and our devils. But they were always here.
How people were created
About the rescue of Star Brother, as well as what this messenger of a distant, highly developed civilization told earthlings about the history of their planet, was told 20 years later to his young grandson, Robert Morning Sky, one of the six Indians who saved the dying Bek Ti.
What he heard shocked and captured Robert. Since then, he has devoted himself to finding and studying sources that confirm Bek Ti's message. Its essence, together with the results of its searches, was outlined by Morning Sky in the work “Terra. The Unknown History of Planet Earth,” published in the early 1990s. Here are its contents.
In ancient times, aliens from outer space colonized the Earth, which was then still uninhabited. Homo sapiens - Homo sapiens - was created by the decision of their leader, initially so that his subjects would have intelligent and obedient workers. But for the right to rule on Earth, this ruler fought with his brother and, in order to assert this right, introduced his DNA into the genotype of the first human beings. And the first people became the “sons of God,” the children of their creator.
However, this “god-father” was also a scientist, he was interested in the possibility of creating creatures endowed with sensitivity and passion, as well as the ability to make their own judgments and independent actions. To achieve this goal, in the first generations of people, he used the DNA of representatives of another race, emotional and sentimental bird-like creatures. It gave people the opportunity to possess the qualities and abilities mentioned above. The “Creator” also taught people to unite for procreation of their own free will, without observing pre-established rules of reproduction. And the young human race began to grow rapidly.
Are they still with us?
As a result of the creativity of space aliens at the early stage of the emergence of humanity, two varieties of humanity arose: obedient individuals who unconditionally obeyed the aliens and genetically altered mutants whose behavior was guided by their own will. The brother of the creator of the human tribe expelled the mutants into the desert, dooming them to inevitable death, and to be sure, he even caused a flood to destroy the entire rebellious branch of the human race. But its creator managed to save a number of persecuted obstinates - a familiar episode from the Bible, isn’t it?
The moment came when the Earth began to be controlled by another race of aliens, in the guise of intelligent lizards, which are now often called “grays”. The Grays, genetically created by an even more highly developed race of reptiles, whose empire is located in a distant galaxy, and now secretly, unnoticed by us, lead many aspects of earthly life. They consume the natural resources of our planet, extract genetic material from our bodies to continue experiments to breed new species of intelligent beings, use our government agencies, such as NASA and the CIA in the United States, to keep secret the purpose, design and operation of a vast class of technological devices, which we define by the general concept of UFO. They have their own base on the Moon, and they warned us not to go there and stay away from it.
Robert Morning Sky ends his work with the following words: “As long as people accept the existence of lords and gods, they accept the existence of slavery. When man finally realizes that his possessions have been taken from him, when he finally begins to look upon himself as his only god and master over himself, then, and only then, will he be freed from the power of aliens and alien gods. Develop your spiritual world... This is the only path to liberation.”
Evidence of Alien Visits
In the Canyonlands, a national park in Utah, there are a number of anomalies that, according to Morning Sky, indicate that aliens have been there since time immemorial. He considers the main one to be the Arch of the Druids - the ruins of a gigantic structure with preserved traces of the hieroglyph. According to Robert, it means "king", and this mark could have been left by an alien ruler declaring his dominion after winning a battle with a rival.
Deep, even horizontal grooves were cut parallel to one of the rocks. Their natural origin is unlikely, especially since at the foot of the cliff there are no accumulations of crumbled rock, usual in such cases. These traces could have been left by a laser beam from a powerful space alien weapon.
In the bed of a dried stream lie huge blocks of stone with smooth rectangular edges. In the rocks that form the bed there are long straight grooves. There are no screes. Quarry using laser technology?
Near the road leading to the national park, there is the newspaper rock with numerous prints of six-toed feet scratched on it. All traces lead to the silhouette of a vertical structure on three supports (a spaceship?) standing among circles with various signs. According to Robert Morning Sky, this is a message about the resettlement of the ancient inhabitants of the Earth to other star worlds.
“You can believe everything I say, or you can not believe a single word I say. Is it all true or fiction? It’s up to you to decide.” In ancient times, the Apache Indians ended their oral traditions with these words.
There are several theories about the origin of man. One of them is the theory of evolution. And even though it has not yet given us a definite answer to this question, scientists continue to study ancient people. So we'll talk about them.
History of ancient people
Human evolution goes back 5 million years. The oldest ancestor of modern humans, Homo habilius, appeared in East Africa 2.4 million years ago.
He knew how to make fire, build simple shelters, collect plant food, process stone and use primitive stone tools.
Human ancestors began making tools 2.3 million years ago in East Africa and 2.25 million years ago in China.
Primitive
About 2 million years ago, the oldest human species known to science, Homo habilis, by striking one stone against another, made stone tools - pieces of flint beaten in a special way, choppers.
They cut and sawed, and with a blunt end, if necessary, it was possible to crush bone or stone. Many choppers of various shapes and sizes were found in the Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania), so this culture of ancient people began to be called Olduvai.
Homo habilis lived only in Africa. Homo erectus was the first to leave Africa and enter Asia and then Europe. It appeared 1.85 million years ago and disappeared 400 thousand years ago.
A successful hunter, he invented many tools, acquired a home and learned to use fire. The tools used by Homo erectus were larger than the tools of early hominids (man and his immediate ancestors).
In their manufacture, a new technology was used - stone workpiece trimming on both sides. They represent the next stage of culture - the Acheulean, named after the first finds in Saint-Acheul, a suburb of Amiens in France.
In their physical structure, hominids differed significantly from each other, which is why they are divided into separate groups.
Man of the ancient world
Neanderthals (Homo Sapiens neaderthalensis) lived in the Mediterranean region of Europe and the Middle East. They appeared 100 thousand years ago, and 30 thousand years ago they disappeared without a trace.
About 40 thousand years ago, Neanderthals were replaced by Homo sapiens. Based on the place of the first discovery - the Cro-Magnon cave in Southern France - this type of person is sometimes also called a Cro-Magnon.
In Russia, unique finds of these people were made near Voronezh and Vladimir.
Archaeological research suggests that the Cro-Magnons developed a new way of making stone blades of knives, scrapers, saws, points, drills and other stone tools - they broke off flakes from large stones and sharpened them.
About half of all Cro-Magnon tools were made of bone, which is stronger and more durable than wood.
From this material, the Cro-Magnons also made new tools such as needles with eyes, hooks for fishing, harpoons, as well as cutters, awls and scrapers for scraping animal skins and making leather from them.
The various parts of these objects were attached to each other using veins, ropes made from plant fibers and adhesives. The Périgord and Aurignacian cultures were named after the places in France where at least 80 different types of stone tools of this type were found.
The Cro-Magnons also significantly improved their methods of hunting (driven hunting), hunting reindeer and red deer, mammoths, woolly rhinoceroses, cave bears, wolves and other animals.
Ancient people made spear throwers, as well as devices for catching fish (harpoons, hooks), and bird snares. The Cro-Magnons lived mainly in caves, but at the same time they built various dwellings from stone and dugouts, tents from animal skins.
They knew how to make sewn clothes, which they often decorated. People made baskets and fish traps from flexible willow rods, and wove nets from ropes.
Life of ancient people
Fish played an important role in the diet of ancient people. Traps were set on the river for small fish, and larger fish were speared.
But how did ancient people act when the river or lake was wide and deep? Drawings on the walls of caves in Northern Europe, made 9-10 thousand years ago, depict people in a boat chasing a reindeer floating down a river.
The durable wooden frame of the boat is covered with animal skin. This ancient boat resembled the Irish currach, the English coracle, and the traditional kayak still used by the Inuit.
10 thousand years ago there was still an ice age in Northern Europe. It was difficult to find a tall tree from which to hollow out a boat. The first boat of this type was found in the Netherlands. Its age is about 8 thousand years, and it is made of pine.
The Cro-Magnons were already engaged in painting, carving and sculpture, as evidenced by drawings on the walls and ceilings of caves (Altamira, Lascaux, etc.), human and animal figures made of horn, stone, bone and elephant tusks.
Stone remained the main material for making tools for a long time. The era of the predominance of stone tools, dating back hundreds of thousands of years, is called the Stone Age.
Key dates
No matter how hard historians, archaeologists and other scientists try, we will never be able to reliably know how ancient people lived. But still, science has managed to make very serious progress in studying our past.
Did you like the post? Press any button.
The most ancient, reliable representatives of the human race are known to be approximately 2 -2.5 ml. years ago. And modern humans appeared 40-50 thousand years ago.
For many millions of years, human ancestors inhabited a limited area in eastern Africa. Here, on Lake Victoria, 18 million years ago lived a proconsul, our common ancestor with apes; Here, more than 4 million years ago, Australopithecus afarensis, our upright walking ancestor, arose. The first representative of the genus Man, a skilled man who appeared more than 2 million years ago, spent his entire history here, and here 1.6 million years ago an upright man arose. It is not known where our species, the intelligent man, began its journey, but somewhere nearby.
The oldest of the genus Homo is Homo habilis, or Homo habilis, the first representatives of which appeared on Earth about 2 million years ago. Before this time, only australopithecines probably existed. About 2.5 million years ago, a split occurred in the evolution of hominids, as a result of which the massive australopithecines (a dead-end branch of evolution) and the genus Homo became separated. In addition to the finds from the Olduvai Gorge, the species Homo habilis also includes the so-called Rudolf man, Homo rudolfensis, whose skull was found in Kenya in 1972 in the area of \u200b\u200bLake. Rudolph (now Lake Turkana), as well as finds from Ethiopia and South Africa. The antiquity of these species is from 2.4 to 1.9 million years. It is assumed that these first people were the creators of the tools of the oldest Olduvai (pebble) culture on Earth. There are finds that have not found a taxonomic definition and some researchers refer to Homo habilis, and others to groups of archanthropes (ancient people) that replaced Homo habilis approximately 1.6-1.5 million years ago.
The group of archanthropes includes two main species. This is a species of Asian ancient people, Homo erectus, and its African variant, Homo ergaster.
Time of appearance of sapiens
“There are judgments about three possible levels of identification of the sapiens line: early, middle and late (p. 97).
A more widespread opinion is that the sapiens lineage appeared in the Middle or Early Upper Pleistocene. As a probable ancestor in this case, different authors mention different forms: either one of the late progressive erecti (Vertescelles), or an early archaic sapiens (Swanscombe), or an early progressive Neanderthal (Ehringsdorf).
Finally, there is an opinion about the late origin of sapiens. In this case, the ancestor is usually considered to be the progressive Palestinian paleoanthropes or even the “classical” Würmian Neanderthals. The latter point of view is supported by both archaeological arguments (continuity of the late Mousterian industry of “classical” Neanderthals and the Upper Paleolithic sapiens culture) and morphological ones (for example, the Skhul type of people, who combine “Cro-Magnon” and “Neanderthal” features).
However, it is known that the “classical” Neanderthals were later forms of hominids that coexisted with the first neoanthropic sapiens. To resolve this contradiction, it is assumed that the rate of sapientation in this late short period of anthropogenesis significantly accelerated due to heterosis during displacement.
The processes of sapientation occurred in different populations of paleoanthropes, but at different rates, and for a number of reasons (for example, living conditions) did not always reach the final stage.
Of course, individual features of the “sapient” complex could have appeared early, even in the Eopleistocene. The morphological variability of hominids in general is very wide, and, probably, repeated mutations played an important role in it, as in other primates.
Apparently, some signs of the “sapient” complex could have arisen in the evolution of individual groups of hominids long ago and repeatedly. And in this sense, we have the right to say that sapientation has deep roots, although the oldest real “sapiens are still not known earlier than 0.1 -0.07 million years ago” (p. 97-99).
Spread of modern humans
More ancient fossils have been found in Africa than on any other continent. Thus, in Southern Ethiopia they found Omo-I, an incomplete skull with many modern features, which is probably more than 60 thousand years old. At the mouth of the South African Clasis River, “modern” remains were discovered that were 100 thousand years old, and in Border Cave a “modern” lower jaw was found that was 90 thousand years old.
Fossil skulls from 40 thousand years ago, which belong to a completely modern type, are found in various areas of Asia - from Israel to Java. They all have a chin protrusion or other distinctly "modern" features.
Humans first appeared in North America probably between 70 and 12 thousand years ago. During periods of extreme cold at this time, the sea retreated and a wide land bridge, Beringia, was formed, which is now flooded by the Bering Strait.
Traces of hearths and fossil remains, the age of which has been established, indicate that modern man lived in Australia at least 40 thousand years ago.
Most likely, people first appeared here between 55 and 45 thousand years ago, when the sea level was 160 feet (50 m) lower than now, and many islands formed a single whole.
This scale shows the development of all the primitive people of the world, from the period when the first humanoid hominids arose (5 million years ago) until 700 BC.

Even from school age, modern people begin to perceive Darwin's hypothesis as a great scientific discovery. Every generation of schoolchildren is told from year to year that over millions of years, work has made a man out of a monkey. Stories about the first tools, about how the need for communication first arose, about the struggle for existence seem quite plausible. But the most important thing is missing, namely evidence of this fact, evidence of the degeneration of a monkey into a human.
Oddly enough, many people today are confident that science has sufficient archaeological data that proves that man evolved from apes. However, everything is exactly the opposite.
Darwin argued that transitional forms would certainly be found with a longer study of the remains. Believing in this, evolutionists are still examining the remains in all parts of the world, trying to find confirmation of his theory. But real evidence was never found.
The number of questions did not become smaller with each new discovery, but on the contrary, only increased. Where is the one and only ancestor of all hominids and humans? Is Africa really the only cradle of humanity? And if this is so, then when and how many times did ancient man leave the continent? When did he master fire? And most importantly, when did the person speak? With each new discovery, the very time of the appearance of the first human ancestors moved further back into the depths of centuries.
At first, Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons were considered intermediate forms, but modern science no longer considers them to be human ancestors. They are just races of people with minor skeletal and cranial features. Currently, on earth you can find tribes with physiological characteristics that are inherent to their race. The remaining finds are presented in single copies.
In Africa in 1959, individual bones, jaws, teeth, and fragments of skulls of extinct creatures were found. They were called Australopithecus. Since this creature could walk upright, it was decided that Australopithecines could well be the ancestors of humans. But the rest of the parameters corresponded to monkeys - the humerus was adapted for climbing trees, a small brain, a weight of only 27 kg and a height of 105 cm. Therefore, only on the basis of such data it is impossible to conclude that this is an intermediate form.
Scientists Oxnard and Zuckerman released data from extensive biometric studies that proved that australopithecines were not humanoid creatures. But “Darwinian” thinking suited many reputable scientists and turned out to be stronger than this scientific data.
In caves in China between 1920 and 1940, the remains of creatures called “sinanthropus” were found. The fragments of the skulls were very damaged, but it was clear that the brain was very close in size to that of a monkey. Human remains, labor and hunting tools, and a fire pit were also found there. Of course, it is clear that Sinanthropus could not live a human life, since they had a very small brain. The only logical conclusion that can be is that there was a camp of people whose favorite dish was monkey brains. Professor Brel pointed out these facts to the researchers, but these comments remained unheeded.
Thus, in the hands of scientists today there are only a few fossils - parts of limbs, pieces of the skull cap, teeth, which can only be attributed to an intermediate link with great difficulty. But they are of little use as reasoned evidence. These elements may belong to great apes. Belief in evolution, the lack of evidence and the desire to prove that the ancestor of man was a monkey led some scientists to even falsify it.
The question of where humanity came from is still one of the greatest mysteries of humanity. Science and religion have been arguing about this for a very long time, but maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle?
Riddles and questions that never found an answer gave rise to a lot of versions and guesses. Inquisitive researchers have always been fascinated by the question of why all religions - Christianity, pagan beliefs of tribes, Islam - have something in common - a supreme being who lives in heaven. It created people and gave them basic concepts of how to live - moral and everyday.
It never occurred to anyone until the 21st century that it was actually possible to create a human being. But now genetic engineering has become quite commonplace and people are looking at religious subjects from a new perspective. Maybe man was actually created by some powerful beings from a completely different planet?
Surprisingly, today science is already very close to proving this. According to the latest data, the human genome consists of 30–35 thousand genes. These genes are 99% identical to those of chimpanzees. There are also genes that make humans related to invertebrates and even plants. This, of course, proves to some extent the validity of Darwin's theory. But research has also shown that modern humans have 223 genes that no other living creature has. These genes are precisely responsible for language, intelligence, etc. Those. for the difference between humans and monkeys.
Since ancient times, there have been facts that confirm the presence of extraterrestrial civilizations on the planet. Incredible finds of extraterrestrial origin that have lain in the ground for millions of years, rock paintings testify to this. How else can you explain the origin of the flying saucer that was found in the ice of Antarctica? Or, for example, a bolt that has lain in the ground for 200 million years? And there are a great many such finds. This suggests that there have always been aliens here - even before the appearance of man. Perhaps aliens settled us here and are now watching us.
They do what they want. They arrive when they want and take what they need. They do not hide and are not afraid of us, but on the contrary, they demonstrate their presence as if they are the owners. And we cannot prevent this. It is quite possible that people are just guinea pigs for aliens to experiment on.
Aliens influence people and control the planet. Give people modern technology and then watch them use it. These technologies are primitive for them and new for us. Hundreds of UFOs are recorded every day in different parts of the Earth. Especially often, they appear near any scientific tests, events, near military facilities and space stations. Millions of people disappear every year. It is quite possible that they are abducted by aliens in order to examine their body and consciousness and conduct experiments.
Many great geniuses and scientists see their inventions in their dreams or take them “from above.” Only a few admit that they get it from them. Aliens endow humans with knowledge, otherwise how can we explain such a leap in the development of technology in the 20th century. Why do they give people new opportunities? Maybe they are just waiting for people to destroy themselves, because we use all these opportunities against ourselves. Perhaps they are trying to teach us the laws of the Universe, without which it is impossible to exist in it? Maybe they're trying to educate us.
Zakaria Sitchin (a scientist from the USA) published an article based on these data, in which the scientist claims that man was created through genetic engineering. According to his version, aliens once flew to Earth from the planet Nibiru. There is mention of it in ancient Sumerian sources. Nibiru appears once every 4000 years near the Sun. Sitchin suggests that a Niberian ship landed on Earth 300 thousand years ago. According to him, they had high technology and flew to our planet in search of minerals.
The newcomers needed labor, as there were too few of them. Then they took a monkey, to which they added several “extra” genes using genetic engineering. After this, the monkey gained intelligence. The scientist believes that this is how Adam, the first man, arose, and then Eve, as a clone of Adam, but with a slightly different set of chromosomes.
The aliens probably suspected what the nature of man might be like, who was created from a wild animal and instilled in his offspring the rules of life. Probably, the aliens wanted not an animal society to exist on Earth, but a human one. At the same time, they contacted their home planet and continued their exploration work. People multiplied and multiplied and, perhaps, did not quite correspond to the aliens’ ideas about a righteous life. And then the World Sweat happened, which the aliens knew about in advance. They only warned the righteous Noah, who was saved on his Ark. One day, however, the aliens left the Earth, leaving behind a reasonable person - a creation of their own hands, who was constantly forced to fight with his bestial essence.
However, this still does not provide a clear answer to the greatest mystery of the Universe. Even if humans were created by aliens, then who created them? But, one way or another, man did not descend from an animal. Based on the results of the research, it became clear that he immediately appeared on Earth in his human form.
