Humans Are Not From Earth

Although we have been calling Earth our home for many generations, there are theories that claim humans evolved elsewhere in the galaxy and moved here sometime in the past.

Could this controversial and intriguing claim be true? If so, where do we come from and why did our travelling ancestors chose Earth?
Researcher and author Dr. Ellis Silver proposed a scientific evaluation of the evidence that suggests man evolved somewhere else in the universe. In his book, Humans are not from Earth, he lists several reasons which he believes places mankind’s ancestry outside of the blue planet. He also evaluates possible points of origin and a timeline for our appearance on Earth.

Dr. Silver compared human physiology to that of other animals and he believes there are some crucial differences between them. As a species, humans are particularly sensitive to sunlight. The sun has a dazzling effect on humans while most animals seem immune to this effect. While reptiles use heat from the sun to regulate their own internal temperature, humans experience serious troubles if exposed for more than two weeks. According to Silver, this behavior constitutes evidence that humans might have evolved on a planet with considerably less sunlight. Our genetic make-up was able to adapt to this increased radiation but not without cost.
Humans also suffer from chronic illnesses at a much higher rate than other animals. This could be the result of a struggle to cope with damaging factors that weren’t present at the time of our evolution. “We are all chronically ill,” says Silver. “Indeed, if you can find a single person who is 100% fit and healthy and not suffering from some (perhaps hidden or unstated) condition or disorder I would be extremely surprised – I have not been able to find anyone.”

People suffer from bad backs and have done so throughout our history. Dr. Silver believes this problem can be traced back to humans evolving on a planet with a much lower gravity. Despite being the most advanced species on Earth, we are surprisingly ill-equipped for life here: sunlight harms us, we are plagued with illness and we have a strong dislike for raw or naturally occurring foods. And then there’s the overwhelming feeling of not belonging here that so many people experience. Dr. Silver claims this is not a passing thing but rather some kind of genetic longing for home.
“The Earth approximately meets our needs as a species, but perhaps not as strongly as whoever brought us here initially thought,” Silver said in an interview with Yahoo news.

Our internal body clocks evolved to work in conjunction with a 25-hour day. Silver believes this missing hour accounts for many of our biological problems and his claims are backed up by sleep researchers. This complication is not something recent and can be traced back through mankind’s history.

Dr. Silver explores the possibility that early pre-humans like Homo erectus were crossbred with another species. Life on Earth could have arrived on comets or meteorites. The primitive life-forms evolved for billions of years into the species we see today but humans did not.

They evolved from a different strain of life somewhere else in the universe and were brought here as fully evolved Homo sapiens. This happened somewhere between 200,000 and 60,000 years ago. Silver speculates this could have happened for many reasons, the most interesting of them being that Earth might be a prison planet. He believes this could account for our violent nature and behavior. If this is the case, how long are we in for?

The book has been met with a healthy dose of criticism but as Dr. Silver points out, it is just speculative writing aimed at sparking debate. In any case, it makes for an interesting read.

Scientist – We Are Aliens On Our Own Planet

The idea that humanity is not from Earth is as controversial as it is intriguing. Are we really aliens on our own planet? If this is true where is our place of origin in the galaxy? A scientific evaluation of the evidence against man’s evolution on planet Earth has been put forward by a researcher and author. According to Dr Ellis Silver, leading environmentalist and ecologist there are a number of reasons why humans do not come from Earth.

In his book, Humans are not from Earth: a scientific evaluation of the evidence, Dr. Silver lists seventeen factors which suggest we are not from this planet. He also discusses the place of our origin and the timeline when humanity appeared on Earth.

A scientific evaluation of the evidence for and (mostly) against man’s evolution on Planet Earth, by a leading environmentalist and ecologist. Including:

An evaluation of the thirteen leading hypotheses
Seventeen factors which suggest we are not from Earth
How did we get here?
When did we get here?
What is our home planet like?
The most likely stars that our home planet orbits
If the aliens are out there why can’t we detect them?
Are we the aliens?
In this fascinating book Dr Ellis Silver provides answers to all of these questions, based on current evidence and thinking in the scientific community and elsewhere. Read more…

Dr. Silver says our physiology suggests we evolved on a planet with lower gravity.

“Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more, “Dr. Silver said in an interview with Yahoo news.

“The Earth approximately meets our needs as a species, but perhaps not as strongly as whoever brought us here initially thought,” Silver said in an interview with Yahoo news.

“Lizards can sunbathe for as long as they like – and many of them do.

We can just about get away with it for a week or two. But day after day in the sun? Forget it.

You might as well just lie down on the freeway and wait for a bus to hit you.”

We are dazzled by the sun, which is also odd, says Silver – most animals are not.

Dr. Silver claims that some chronic illnesses that plague the human race – such as bad backs – could be a sign we evolved on a world with lower gravity.

Silver points to other unique human traits – such as the fact that babies’ heads are so large that women have trouble giving birth – in earlier eras, this was often fatal for mother, child or both.

“No other truly native species on this planet has this problem,” he says. Dr. Silver also points out to the “extra” 223 genes in human beings, which are not found in any other species, and to the lack of a fossil “missing link”.

Dr. Silver also claims that the human race has defects that mark us out as being possibly “not of this world”.

“We are all chronically ill,” says Dr. Silver. “Indeed, if you can find a single person who is 100% fit and healthy and not suffering from some (perhaps hidden or unstated) condition or disorder (there’s an extensive list in the book) I would be extremely surprised – I have not been able to find anyone.”

Did we evolve on an alien world?

“I believe that many of our problems stem from the simple fact that our internal body clocks have evolved to expect a 25 hour day (this has been proven by sleep researchers), but the Earth’s day is only 24 hours. This is not a modern condition – the same factors can be traced all the way back through mankind’s history on Earth.”

Dr. Silver does not suggest one answer – but a possibility that early pre-humans such as homo erectus were crossbred with another species. He also suggests several possible origins, including Alpha Centauri.

“Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring (raw) foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more. Plus there’s a prevailing feeling among many people that they don’t belong here or that something “just isn’t right”.

“This suggests (to me at least) that mankind may have evolved on a different planet, and we may have been brought here as a highly developed species. One reason for this, discussed in the book, is that the Earth might be a prison planet – since we seem to be a naturally violent species – and we’re here until we learn to behave ourselves.”

“Humans are not from Earth was published mainly to gauge reaction from readers and to provoke thought, particularly among those who might not have considered such a possibility before.” Dr Ellis says that while his idea is an extreme evolution of that idea, it is intended to be thought-provoking and in his opinion he have had a largely positive response to it.

Now, Dr. Silver hopes that readers will contact him with more evidence for a more extensive follow-up work.
