He's onto something here
By Gordon Hogenson on April 27, 2001
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.
Gordon

Sitchin Mixed With Icke And Cremo
By TXMoose on June 11, 2006
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.

Entertaining, readable synthesis
By Harrison Koehli on April 4, 2010
I think this book succeeds for several reasons: 1) the scientific, and yet common-sense, approach with which Dr. Horn deals with such "fringe" topics as UFOs, aliens, alternative history, and channeling, 2) his expertise in anthropology and his willingness to admit its faults and failures, and 3) his conscience, the motivation for writing a book that is on the one hand eminently absurd (according to prevailing thought patterns) and on the other a heartfelt cry for humanity's suffering and true potential.

Its flaws are more a result of the quality of sources with which Horn had at his disposal, and other reviewers have commented on this. While he prefaces each speculation with reasonable distance, I think he at times takes his sources too much at their word. Sitchin had some things right, but I think he took the Sumerian accounts too literally, not leaving enough room for cultural distortion. For example, Victor Clube and Bill Napier's books The Cosmic Winter and The Cosmic Serpent fill in a lot of the gaps on the ancients' view of "gods" and the source of such beliefs that popular writers like Sitchin and Von Daniken get wrong. Also, the "channeling" quoted is largely out of date and of poor quality. The work of Don Elkins, Carla Ruecker, and Jim McCartyDon Elkins, Carla Ruecker, and Jim McCarty, as well as the more recent work by ...Read more ›

A well researched but highly speculative view of our origins
By Richard Gibble on February 4, 2001
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.

Dr. Horn is Brilliant and Brave
By Alex on October 20, 2009
Humanity's Extraterrestrial Origins is an excellent book, easy to read and MOST fascinating. It is fast becoming apparent that there are outside forces working against the peace and tranquility that we as a civilization strive for. Arthur David Horn, a Yale-educated man who taught evolution for over a decade at CSU, courageously addresses what may be the most pressing problem of our time. Do yourself a favor and buy this book!

Should be a cornerstone of any UFO Library
By A Customer on April 6, 1999
This book should be read by anyone interested in the true origin of mankind. One needs to approach this subject with an open mind. We should consider alternative theories to those we were fed in high school as the gospel. I am sure many of the subjects discussed here will be shown to be the truth in years to come. I am glad the Horns published this book.
