I read the first edition of this book about 20 years ago, and I've been searching for it ever since I lost that copy. Needless to say, I am delighted to see that it has been revised and re-released. It presents the theory that mankind is an alien colony, and that we are a hybrid of naturally-evolved humanoids and alien visitors. Much of the evidence presented is hard to ignore! The authors show that even the Bible may be reinterpreted to support their theories. I highly recommend this book to all readers interested in how we came to be on this planet.

It is easy to dismiss the content of this book as hyperbole, but what proof do we have for the voluminous and laborious and equally slipshod evolutionary and anthropological theories of "orthodox science", only instituted in the last 150 years or so? And who is to explain the deep subconcious hold that "sacred scriptures" still have on all humankind inspite of all the "development" that came out of Europe in the past 150-200 years? I am not saying we should believe in mumbo-jumbo, but there IS something buried deep within - that needs bringing out to the light of day...

This is an alternative view of evolutionary history which deserves to be considered as part of our schools' curriculum. It asks many questions that has never been answered by orthodox science. The basic question is: Why the human is unique in so many ways among all primates that roam the world?

Firstly, there is a lack of explanation for man's greater intelligence arising out of strict evolution.

Here are some of the other major questions dealt with in this book.

1). Why humans has almost no body hair? Man possesses relatively no body hair, nothing compared to the thick pelts of gorillas, chimps, and monkeys. This is not the result of wearing apparel, for aboriginal tribes such as the Australian Bushmen, who have existed for geological eras, wear virtually no clothing and yet are as hairless as modern Man. Evolution has no answer!

2). In turn, why does man alone have a topnotch of hair that is never exhibited by the great apes?

3). Why can only he speak words?

4).Why is the human female, unlike all anthropoids as well as other animals, "in heat" uninterruptedly?

5). Why can humans alone smile?

6).Why does only our species of naked ape have no diastemata (spaces between teeth)?

7).And why does Man display 312 distinctive physical traits that set him apart from his so-called primate cousins?

8). And one of the most puzzling questions of all: Why do human beings alone, apart from all the other animals, have religion?

These questions are deceptively simply. But as the reader is led to dig into their depths, you begin to understand the perplexity with which the theory of evolution is faced.

For instance, finding a plausible explanation for the hairless body ape--as we are supposed to be--becomes maddening.

The theory in this book hypothesize that we are a cross between some sort of advanced extra-terrestrial life-form and primitive hominids.

It rings true to me. I'm even more convinced after I've studied most of the world mythologies (including Christianity) and found this incredibly common thread, a clue referring to gods (or in the case of Christianity: "God") appearing from the sky to teach us and save us from sometimes self-made calamities.

I'll never look at evolution the same.

I have no problem with the idea of man being a hybrid. Although most people struggle with this idea. To me it is perfectly obvious. Those who have a deep sense of understanding within themsleves as well as studied varied subjects on the matter will know this to be true! However truth is something any serious thinker is seeking and always will be. What we feel to be true at this point in time will obviously change as we ourselves are on the path of evolution. This book gives fantastic clues into the origins of mankind with extensive scientific evidence. We need to start steering away from what mainstream education has tought us about their one dimensional theories of evolution and start questioning how mankind arrived here, how we jumped in evolution from neaderthal to cro-magnon and who were the sons of God? I can think of nothing more important and empowering to know mankinds origins.

It arrived promptly. It had some loose pages which I was able to repair but I had not been told of this.

I find this a slow read. The authors talk about how other writers in this field may disagree with the author's suppositions and theory, but they never really get to their theory. So I am asking myself, what is this about?

This book just keeps promising but never delivers. If you've read Sitchin or van Daniken or any of the others, don't bother. The intended audience for this book is a total mystery. It's a waste of time. I couldn't bring myself to finish it.
