hmmm.......
there really aren't any gaps in human evolution.......still interesting concept, even though I view it as purely sci-fi.
debbie........I'll save you some trouble here.......here's Zecharia Sitchen's theory in a nutshell.
Based on his translation of Sumerian texts, seals, etc.........he claims that the human race was created as a slave race. The Nephilim (his aliens) came to earth to mine the precious metal gold as they needed it for some sort of protection of their own planet. Instead of doing the work themselves, they took pre-historic man..........infused them with parts of their own alien DNA to create humans.........to create a species that was still physically strong yet was now intelligent enough to listen, know their task, carry out their instructions and communicate with the aliens. He goes from there to state that the Earth was divided into regions controlled by different Nephilim rulers. A planetary disaster was approaching, the Nephilim knew it and took off............leaving humans here to fend for themselves.
I'm so sorry I read some of his books.........I felt my I.Q. had dropped after finishing each one. They are very misleading. The author represents himself as a reputable anthropologist to lend creedence to his claims. Nothing can be further from the truth. There are many cases in which Sitchen's actual interpretations of texts have been proven wrong.......many cases where he claims seals represent what they do not..........basically him just trying to twist certain things to fit his theory.
Despite that........he is still taking a creation story from an ancient civilization and presenting it as fact even though nothing mentioned therein has ever been proven. It's no different than Christians going on about their creation story in their ancient text written by ancient man. Science does not even figure into his claims. It's just like religion, you believe or you don't........as there is no evidence. He's no different that Graham Hancock (Fingerprints of the Gods).............
If you want to do some reading about the subject of Aliens from a respected scientiest, I suggest anything by Stanton Friedman. He is a nuclear physicist with an actual track record of ground breaking work in his area...........who is/was very well respected by the scientific community until he brought his UFO crusade to the forfront. He is the only credible scientist who has gone to great lengths in his research of the subject............even so far as to engage in court battles with the CIA, NSA, etc. for release of information pertaining to the subject.
The whole "Aliens creating man" theory can't be ruled out..........but I personally see no reason to entertain it as it offers nothing new that can't be explained by simple evolution. Extroridanry claims require extraordinary investigation yielding extraordinary evidence........the burden to provide such falls on those who believe in this sort of thing. So far, nothing has been produced........not by Sitchen......not by Hancock.......not by anyone. I'll keep waiting around until they find something.
