Well-researched and presented
"A scientific evaluation of the evidence," indeed! I was impressed by the author's thoroughness and attention to detail. He presented in a way that clearly stated his beliefs and understanding while leaving room for discussion, faith, and admitting what's unknown. It was refreshing.I am a person of faith, but that neither negates my belief in science or extraterrestrial life. After all, God created all things. I'm also not arrogant enough to think humans are the center of anything. I don't know what the answers are, but it's fun trying to learn about them, and this book did a wonderful job adding to my wealth of knowledge!There's so much to love with this title. The concepts are deep and vast. The organization is beautifully crafted with a timeline of events. Honesty is breathed into the words, telling fact from opinion and what theories prevail and why. Credit is given when due, and in all this academia, there's an engaging read.I recommend this book. It has a lot to offer - insight, archeological and biological data, truths about biases in science... Whatever you believe, it's an eye-opener while still being enjoyable, entertaining, and engaging.

Fun, thought provoking and jammed with story ideas for speculative fiction writers
Humans are not from Earth: a scientific evaluation of the evidence (2nd Edition) Kindle Editionby Ellis SilverThis was an enjoyable, thought provoking book.Dr. Silver lays out each of his arguments carefully and presents his evidence. He also more than adequately gives us end notes to look at. Unfortunately, and this is so not the author's fault, the new Amazon scrolling system makes it hard to look at the end note and get back to where you were in the main text.The breadth of his knowledge is amazing and they depth that he argues to his point with that knowledge bowled me over. He was able to continue the line of thought of the Earth environment and oxygen aren't necessarily healthy for us by using the gas mixture deep sea divers use right after using the First Great Die Off that was caused by bacteria that emitted too much oxygen. No matter how far or deep he reached to present evidence, Dr. Silver's presentation was simple to follow as well as prepare questions. Those questions were sometimes answered, even though it might take a few chapter and at times, the questions you have hang there, forcing you to research on your own.Going into this book with an open mind is required because if you don't, revelations such as Dr. Silver met aliens or the chapter on the types of aliens might make you give the book a side eye.I am so glad that this was an e-book! If it were paper, all my notes and highlighting would make it a big mess. I had so many questions and ideas put into the notes.It was great that Dr. Ellis covered the objections and ideas that were sent to him from his first edition. Dr Silver is also very kind and welcomes some questions. This is a plusThis book is also jam packed with ideas for writers of speculative fiction.With all of these pluses, I can't help but highly recommend the book5 stars out of 5

Bar room brawl.
Woo hoo! If ever there was a book to cause a bar room brawl, this is it.I'm only half way through and already I've got to come out swinging.Look at some of those wonderful animations of the inner workings of the cell on YouTube. Those miracles just happened by chance?Now consider the Quantum Erasure experiments results. My interpretation is that the Past is Adjusted to Support the Present Observation. Dr Tom Campbell Phd phy. YouTube (My Big TOE) disagrees, is unable to you abandon cause and effect.Back to the cell. The cell is the way it is BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE in order to support our observations.Listen.Objective Materialism died in Copenhagen in 1927. Efforts to revive it have all failed. It's not coming back.Hold onto my beer. It gets much worse. When I was a lad the prodigious output of the sun was presumed to be coal burning.When the first atomic bombs exploded; Sir Arthur Eddington proposed that the energy was nuclear. He was wrong. His hypothesis is not supported by the empirical evidence and is propped up with Kludges.(Sunspots are dark, the solar wind accelerates ECT.)Nope. The stars and galaxies are powered by prodigious electric currents.(See the Thunderbolts channel on YouTube)The point is that the very best place for life ous BEHIND the chromosomes of a red dwarf. The environment is prefect. And all life there is behind a red ionized curtain. Hence the radio silence. The inhabitants of most of the cosmos are oblivious to it.Genes only control amino asis machinery WITHIN the cell. The form and shape of the organism is controlled by epigenetic and morphic fields.(Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, Dr. Lipton YouTube)Einstein's "Bent nothingness" hypothesis was based on the absence of the Aether. This aether has been studied by Dr. For 40 years. It does exist. It has many names, Quantum foam, Vril, zeropoint energy ECT.There are alternatives to "Bent Nothingness". For instance Dr Paul laViollete on Kindle with Subquantum kinetics. He points out that Dr Podkletnov's gravity beam travels at ~60 times the speed of light, and rapes Newtons laws of motion.Dr. Eugene McCarthy (hybridologist) of macroevolution.org shows that hybrids, even ones with differing numbers of chromosomes are viable, if somewhat LESS fertile.Chimps desperately need a bigger brain but cannot have one because of inefficient cooling.We've got a big brain because of our OTHER PARENT. And compared with dogs we are very infertile. We're fragile breeders.Acceleration forces only apply in vehicles that are pushed. If the vehicle and its occupants are FALLING in the direction they want to go, no forces are experienced.Abandoning Einstein's thought bubble we find that gravity is due to a miniscule imbalance in the electric charges of the proton and the neutron. (Anti-gravity from Kindle by Dr Paul laViollete).Lessee, what have I missed?Ah yes. Danny Vendramini's Neanderthal on YouTube. Overly dramatic but on point.And me. The contribution C to a sexual organisms DNA makeup is expressed as C=1/ 2^ N, where N is the number of generations back. (Try it and see. It works).Now it is obvious that as N becomes large the contribution C becomes small very quickly.. We have " only" 4% Neanderthal DNA. By random selection where N = approx 1200 generations, we should have zero. Therefore whatever genes we got from Neanderthals was selected FOR. They confer benefit.The statement that Neanderthals are extinct is absurd. The writer obviously means PURE Neanderthals are extinct. I am very much alive, thank you very much.(We prefer to be called the Jötnar. Neanderthal is something recently invented in ignorance and is loaded with baggage. It's a slur)And yes, we do have bigger brains than yours. But not as big as the Skulls of Paracas, nor Akhenaten.You "Sapiens" have just got to get that infertility complex under control. No, you are not the smartest creature on the planet. And that's a good thing.The smartest creature is the Mycaelium. "The Mushroom Speaks" transcribed by Terrance McKenna.
