5.0 out of 5 stars He's onto something here, April 27, 2001

This review is from: Humanity's Extraterrestrial Origins: Et Influences on Humankind's Biological and Cultural Evolution (Paperback)

The material presented in this book gives a good introduction to the best available reasons to believe that what we now would call extraterrestrial beings were involved with Earth's origins and may have mixed some of their genetics with ours.

Sitchin's view on the 12th planet may not be quite correct, but his basic message should not be obscured by his bad astronomy. He does successfully point out that maybe those "gods" of yesteryear were physical DNA-based primate beings who were not human. Based on the oldest available texts, this seems a very reasonable viewpoint.

Billy Meier is a modern contactee. He has been widely discredited (perhaps 'smeared' might be a better word) but I and others believe he was actually telling the truth. However, you don't have to believe that to get something out of Dr. Horn's book, however, the information is there if you want to consider it, which I think is a fair presentation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sitchin Mixed With Icke And Cremo, June 11, 2006

By 

TXMoose (Behind You) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Humanity's Extraterrestrial Origins: Et Influences on Humankind's Biological and Cultural Evolution (Paperback)

This book builds yet another case for humanity being "created" by an ET race for its own purposes. The book takes elements from both Sitchin but with more a David Icke take on who the Nefilim really were (and still are).

Particularly interesting because the author was a member of acadamia who now rejects the theory of evolultion (which he used to teach) and gives some solid arguments against it.

A good well-prepared read with the only criticism being that the section dealing with religion was highly speculative and weaker than the rest of the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars A well researched but highly speculative view of our origins, February 4, 2001

By 

Richard Gibble (elizabethtown, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Humanity's Extraterrestrial Origins: Et Influences on Humankind's Biological and Cultural Evolution (Paperback)

Dr. Arthur David Horn spent 14 years as professor of biological anthropology at Colorado State University. It is surprising that a man of his scientific background could one day come to the conclusion that Darwinian evolution was flawed and that mankinds origins were brought about by the intervention of several different species of extraterrestial beings. Yet this is exactly what he proposes in this book.

The major flaw of Dr. Horn's theory is in his use of highly questionable sources that he assumes at face value to be accurate.

He continually quotes Billy Meier who supposedly was in contact with beings from the Pleaides. They even let him take several photos of their spaceships. He also quotes Zecharia Sitchin who claims that beings from the 12th planet in our solar system helped "seed" life on our planet.

The book is filled with analysis of ancient Mesopotamian texts which was fascinating. I was also fascinated by the overview the author gave on various religions and their flaws.

The book concludes that the human race needs a new religion in which we all love one another and not fight over differences wether they be religious, ethnic or other.

A fascinating and well written book but not one that can be taken too seriously.
